As you probably noticed, ForceUnleashed.net has seen a significant design overhaul. I hope you find this version of the site to be both more visually pleasing and easier to navigate than the previous design, which was long overdue for an update.
Aside from wanting to give the site a new look, I also wanted to make the site be able to present media more effectively. As many of you requested in our previous design, galleries are now separated based on platform and other categories. You can view all the new galleries in our new media hub, with the promise that there is much more to be added still.
The site also needed a fresh design heading into The Force Unleashed 2 coverage. With the game slated to be out this year, expect LucasArts to start ramping up their marketing for the game soon and give us info on what new features will be present.
Lastly, feel free to leave a comment if you have any suggestions, notice anything wrong, or want to give your opinion on the new look. Hope you enjoy!
To coincide with the release of the Hoth DLC level for Xbox Live and PSN, many new Star Wars-themed avatar items are now available on PlayStation Home and Xbox Live Marketplace. You can check out galleries of both the PSHome and XBL items at the LucasArts Workshop blog. And keep your eye out as it sounds like there is more to come!
For those Mac gamers out there feeling left out after Force Unleashed: Ultimate Sith Edition was released for PC, Xbox 360, and PS3 late last year, the wait is over as the game has been released for Mac. Aspyr, the company that handled the PC port, also developed the Mac version, though their product page for the game has not been updated. You can get the game at Amazon.

For those of you who did not purchase the Ultimate Sith Edition of the game, the previously-exclusive Hoth level has now been released as DLC for both Xbox Live and PlayStation Network!

GameTrailers has posted the trailer seen at the Spike VGAs for The Force Unleashed II:
Earlier tonight at the Spike Video Game Awards, Samuel L. Jackson took the stage to announce the newest Star Wars game, The Force Unleashed 2. A cinematic trailer was shown with the Apprentice in something resembling an arena fighting a gigantic beast, much larger than the rancors seen in the first game. He wielded two blue lightsabers.
The game will be released in 2010 according to a teaser site. According to a Kotaku tipster, the game will be “everything the first game could/should have been and a lot lot more (online support!)” We’ll keep you posted with any details that come out about this game. Feel free to discuss away in our forums!
Aspyr, who is both developing and publishing the PC version of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Ultimate Sith Edition, has posted the minimum and recommended system requirements at their website. Behold:
If you went o_O, you’re not the only one. Now do you believe LucasArts when they said the requirements would have been too high to make a PC version a year ago?

Amazon has updated its listing for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Ultimate Sith Edition with cover art for the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the game. No word on whether this will be the official cover or if it’s just a fan-made image, but we will keep you updated with the latest. According to EUCantina.net, there also may be a collector’s tin available, but no confirmation on this either. My gut is telling me this is not official, but we will just have to wait and see.
