Star Wars is like a gift that keeps on giving. Despite the movie series being done and dusted for a few years now, the Galaxy from a long time ago and far, far away keeps on expanding. Nevertheless, there is still something of a gaping plot hole, namely, the years between episodes three and four. Force Unleashed perfectly bridges that gap, with a fantastic story, a killer combat system and more Wookies than you can hurl a lightsabre at.
This is the year that fighting games make a glorious comeback. With a flurry of sword swipes, hadokens and several applications of boot to face, it seems all the big players in the beat-em-up genre are upping the ante. Leading the charge is the latest Soul Calibur.
