If we could be any Star Wars character, it would be the impressively moustached Lando Calrissian. But The Force Unleashed 2 demo instead asks us to step back into the boots of Starkiller, who is less of a charismatic rogue, and more of a saber-wielding, Vader-riling sociopath. Does the sequel to the unimpressive original look to be an attack of the clones, or a more elegant game for a more civilised time? (Read more...)

Unless you have a magic dagger full of sand, in which case there are at least a handful of times like the present. Or something. (Read more...)

Titanic 3D To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the tragic sinking of a cruise ship that caused the deaths of 1514 people, they've made a 3D re-enactment in which the horror and tragedy is over-shadowed by a pasted-together "love story". Review of Titanic 3D by Elaine McDonald.
