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! You can pick up the DLC for 800 MS points or $10. Now no matter which version of the game you own, you have access to all the same content.

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!

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.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Ultimate Sith Edition has been confirmed to have trophy support for the PS3 version of the game, something the original game lacked. Look forward to having all the same bonuses Xbox 360 owners already had in the original game.
LucasArts has also released a trailer for the Ultimate Sith Edition of the game showing off the new levels. It features a voice over from the Emperor as you see the Apprentice in Sith Stalker armor wreaking havoc and fighting Obi-Wan, Luke, and Boba Fett.

Some of you may not believe me after my “horrible” April Fools prank a couple years ago, but if you don’t believe me, check the official LucasArts twitter feed. The Force Unleashed is coming to both PC and Mac, with an extra level based on Hoth. The game will be titled the “Sith Edition” and also be released for Xbox 360 and PS3. It is not clear whether the Hoth level will be separate DLC for those who have already bought the game. No word on a release date yet, or whether we will see a Steam release as the twitter post specifies “in stores”. Good news for all you PC people who can finally stop whining, but slightly underwhelming news for a “world exclusive announcement”.
