Although the original The Force Unleashed had mixed reviews, it was welcomed by Star Wars Fans nonetheless. LucasArts has decided to test the waters again, by announcing “Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II” at the 2009’s Vide Game Awards.
For those who missed the VGA’s, here are all the winners for 2009. Alot of obvious winners with some disagreeing on Game of The Year. A game we scored a perfect 10/10.
Nathan Drake is back in Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, and it’s about time too! I was getting worried that they killed him off due to contract negotiations and filled his role in with Val Kilmer or Steve Buschemi. Nathan is the modern version Indiana Jones. You know, like Indy, he’s after some rare artifact traveling with his sidekick and female partners while trying to keep the bad guys from getting the goods. This time, he’s after an important artifact that will lead him along with Sully and crew to find information pertaining to Marco Polo’s fleet. Yeah, his old time backstabber friend Sully is back as well, but no sign of Elena… for now. It’s O.K. his new “hug hug, kiss kiss” is an Australian dame named Chloe. Will Uncharted 2 become our 2nd only perfectly scored review? We’ll break it down.
For those wondering if Sony’s PS3 exclusive title, Uncharted 2, would ever make an appearance to Microsoft’s Xbox 360… your questions have been answered in the form of “Never”. “I’m 100 percent sure of this.” Christophe Balestra, co-president of Naughty Dog told Ars-Technica.
Well, just yesterday Naughty Dog confirmed there will NOT be a mandatory install of the game on the PS3 harddrive as previously suspected. So, to make us forget about the whole thing Naught Dog has released these screens as a “token” of their loyalty to us, the gamer.
Just announced Esc-Toy and Sony bring the ever so popular Nathan Drake into 3-D format, of course I mean vinyl. The Nathan Drake figure is set to come out this Fall, and hopefully will coincide with Uncharted 2: Among Thieves October 13,2009 release.
This bad ass figure is coming in four different variations: Original Drake, Electric Drake, Nite Time Drake and Naughty Dog Exclusive. As with all of Erick Scarecrow’s customs, they will be limited edition items. Only 2,500 pieces will be available worldwide. Words cannot describe how ecstatic I am about this news. I am truly excited that our friends over at Esc-Toy have made such a great partnership with Sony! May this be the first of many future endeavors and accomplishments! I raise my glass to you!
After the jump see the rest of Drake’s variations.
Nowadays, having just multiplayer in a video game is pretty much a given, especially if it’s a shooter. Spicing up the multiplayer with different modes, including co-op, is something that we look for when we plan on putting money down on our games. But what good are all of those multiplayer games if your friends are either in class, work, or actually living a life outside of gaming? That’s where playback comes in. This isn’t a new concept by any means, but it certainly is something that can prolong the life of a game even more so.
In this latest trailer for Uncharted 2, the focus is on the playback ability in the game. From what I see in the menu, it also seems like you can take snapshots from the playback to save your favorite moment. Hopefully, Uncharted 2 will also allow you to save your video since even though a picture is worth a thousand words, video must be worth a million.
The Uncharted 2 multiplayer beta came and went, but if you missed out on getting a code from the numerous sources online (including us), then you’ll be delighted to know Naughty Dog is planning on giving PS3 owners another chance at getting in on the Uncharted 2 goodness by way of a multiplayer demo.
During a live-chat on the Official Playstation Blog, Naughty Dog co-president Evan Wells had the following to say when asked if there will be a demo before the release of Uncharted 2 :
After our last successful ‘Uncharted 2 Beta key giveaway‘, we thought another treat would make your day. So thanks to Carlos, aduceclean, over at Carlos Unbound, he’s made it all possible. You can check out his blog, where he posted one my favorite posts “Best Booth Babes from E3.

We’re really starting to love announcement dates. We know their done purposely to build anticipation. So that’s our job to build it up even more. Bundled between an inFamous and Uncharted 2 screenshot, we’re told there will be an Electrifying Announcement” on Monday April 27th.
We think their announcement will be centered towards playable demo’s for both games available on the PlayStation Network (PSN). We know inFamous has an official release date of May 26th, Uncharted 2 is still on target for generalized 2009 release date.
So what do you think will be Sony’s Electrifying Announcement?
