Poor Starkiller. The protagonist of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2 died in the first game, and now he's a clone. Clearly he has some identity issues. And Darth Vader isn't exactly the most sterling father figure. What's a lithe, handsome, badass lightsaber champion to do?
Video Blips:
• Like his predecessor, the cloned Starkiller has no problem plowing through gobs of enemies in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2. I'm still unsure of his reverse-grip lightsaber style, though -- those things leave a nasty cut if they accidentally get too close to an extremity.
Continue after the break for an outline of the factions present in Fallout: New Vegas, a technophile's wet dream come true in Vanquish, and a trailer for Shaun White Skateboarding's quirky multiplayer.
• Ready for some factional warfare? Fallout: New Vegas presents a plethora of groups to side with or utterly destroy. For example, the slave-run Caesar's Legion is touted as a "terrifying warband," signified by their fearsome dark man-skirts.
• I'm not going to crack a Michael Bay joke for this Vanquish trailer. Seriously, I can't top hero Sam Gideon's biting taunt: "You're last year's model!" It's one of the ultimate geek insults.
• Bring your friends to the ever-changing cityscape of Shaun White Skateboarding's multiplayer. I'm not bringing my friends -- they'd likely form a half-pipe in front of my face instead of performing tricks.
