The main reason I’ve been absent from the blog is down to college work, all 3 of my subjects have had coursework deadlines for December so I’ve been working hard on getting all my work finished and ready to hand in! Some of which you will be able to see soon on the new site I’m working on for my portfolio to submit to prospective art colleges and unis. Speaking of unis where is everyone applying, currently I’ve got Bournemouth Arts Institute and Nottingham Trent buckled down as place I like with a possible option of Brighton. Although I will most likely be going to BAI because I will need a foundation for most unis which is a bummer but if it needs to be done then so be it!

Gaming wise I’ve been a bit absent recently with a bit of fallout 3, Call Of Duty World At War and Dead Space, with only Call Of Duty’s story completed I need to catch up during the holidays. Gamerscore stands at just over 30,000, you can see my avatar in my gamercard shown in the sidebar!
Anyway back to xmas preperation catch you laters!!

Star Wars: Force Unleashed, the latest in a long line of Star Wars games follows the story of Darth Vader’s secret apprentice, although if your reading this I’m sure you are already aware of that.

Easily put this game is everything i was hoping it would be! I had my doubts about how well the game could handle having 3 physics engines running at the same time and interacting with each other. But it handles itself well and I didn’t notice a dip in frame rate once. The graphics as well are much better than I had initially anticipated with everything looking very realistic and boy those explosions and lightning bolts look very nice indeed :P overall though it is a very well polished game with the cutscenes and story looking like it’s going to unfold very nicely indeed.

My only criticism being that the demo is too short, I would have liked to explore the tie fighter construction base a lot more because boy was it fun, i was like a kid in a candy store with those force powers, can’t wait for the september 19th release date! I’ll have a full review as soon as the game releases and I’ve had a decent amount of time with it

Order now at game
