In Star Wars The Force Unleashed, you are Darth Vader's secret apprentice.
Kneel before Zod! Err.. Darth!

There are a lot of great games coming out this year, but the one I am looking forward to the most is Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. And I'm sure I'm just one of a huge crowd that feels the same way.

There are a lot of great reasons to look forward to The Force Unleashed. First off, it's Star Wars. And, while not every Star Wars game has been a huge success, when they do it right, they really do it right. And, by all accounts, they are really doing The Force Unleashed right.

Another great reason to look forward to it is the promise of open-ended game play. Playing as Darth Vader's secret apprentice, it will be up to us to decide whether to continue down the dark side of the force or to fight for peace and justice.

But what I am really looking forward to are the controls for the Nintendo Wii version. Each version of The Force Unleashed is being designed with something special for that console, and for the Wii, that something special is the controls. We'll be swinging a lightsaber with our Wiimote and using the nunchuk to throw enemies into walls with the Force.

How cool will that be?

So, just to wet our lips a little bit, I've put together a small gallery of the concept art.
