Indy Game Heading to Wii

2009-01-25T22:34:00.002-05:00

From Kotaku.com

It's not KOTOR... exactly.

2008-10-21T19:04:00.003-04:00

Still eying the 1up live blog, now from the breakouts. I'm starting to glaze over at the details of a PC MMORPG though. It does look like this is going to get developed for console platforms, but they are working on the core design now. At least they didn't say this will definitely be PC only... just that PC is all they are talking about "for now".So, even though it's within the KOTOR time frame,

KOTOR 3 Starts... NOW

2008-10-21T17:31:00.002-04:00

Lucas Arts is engaged in a press conference at this very moment, where they are going to reveal the new project they've been working on all this time with BioWare. So we're just waiting on official, official declarations that this is KOTOR 3, MMORPG style. I'm following a live blog of the event over at 1up.com, where "KOTOR 3" has already been used to describe the project twice, as far as I can

New Force Unleashed Content on the Way

LucasArts today announced that it is preparing two rounds of additional content for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed this Fall. This new content will be available for Xbox 360 owners through Xbox Live Marketplace and for PlayStation 3 owners through the PlayStation Network.The first piece of downloadable content will be comprised of additional costumes and character models that can used while

Wii Lightsabers Finally in the USA... Sorta

2008-09-30T11:47:00.005-04:00

It was almost time to get excited in the USA for the long anticipated arrival of Wii remote lightsaber attachments, which were previously only available in the UK. Somehow, Nintendo thought it too dangerous to agree to such an attachment (but boxing gloves, other controller accessories, and the remotes themselves weren't already dangerous in the same way?), but I guess it was okay for the Brits

Blast from the Past: 1977 Fisher, Hamill, and Ford Interviews

2008-09-28T17:50:00.003-04:00

Spotted these videos of Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill on the Mike Douglas Show from 1977, which aired just weeks after the original Star Wars premiered (youtube user dvp1122)The chat is cut a little short, and the next segment brings in Pete Rose and Tom Seaver, but since it's the olden days, the Star Wars cast sticks around without saying much.

This may be just what I need to actually dig into Soul Calibur IV.

At the time of this posting, The Force Unleashed demo is up on Xbox Live for Gold members only (Gah! What a rip!), and it is not yet up on the Playstation Network, but I'm hoping it will be very shortly. I've heard some mumbles that PSN doesn''t update until somewhere between mid afternoon up to 9pm Pacific Time. *cries*

I love G4. They have gaming, technology, pop culture stuff, but most of all because they're Star Wars fans, and recently G4 has been letting it all hang out.They've been rerunning the 1.5 hour Celebration Japan special frequently, with awesome interviews from cast biggies, and have pretty much all of it divided into mutliple video segments on the website.

I went to a matinee of The Clone Wars on this opening day as per the family tradition. What kind of fan would I be if I didn't write about the experience? I was a little surprised to see how few people were in the theater (less than 100 out of several hundred seats?), and that I was one of the few people donning at least a Star Wars t-shirt (that I could see), never mind a full costume. I held

Sony's PS2 'Glowing Sword' Game

So yeah, it looks like a lightsaber game. It acts like a lightsaber game. But it's not a "lightsaber" game. Sony unveiled an interesting new motion tracking game-play system for the PS2 at the Edinburgh Interactive Festival on August 12, which should be available by the holidays this year. The new games will be using the PS2's Eye Toy, which isn't so new anymore. Some of the things that will make

Jeanne Cavelos Talks About the Science of Star Wars

With technology and science advancing at what seems to be an exponential rate, a lot has happened since Jeanne Cavelos first published The Science of Star Wars back in 2000. Scientific American magazine caught up with the author and updated on some of the more recent breakthroughs. Read the interview here, and check out excerpts from the book here. Don't get any funny ideas about DNA though.

Move over 'Clone Wars'. The live-action series is coming!

2008-08-11T20:33:00.002-04:00

I know - The animated Clone Wars movies hasn't even hit regular theaters yet, although it has premiered at the historic LA Egyptian theater already. If you put in a quick Google search, you'll find tons of reviews from the event (or check out the previous entry here). But what a lot of us are really excited for (at least *I* am) is the live-action series. Let the kids have The Clone Wars. However

There are just too many reviews out there, so I'll just post the following video of the event courtesy of The Associated Press, and this LA Times article. From what I've heard, there was swag a-plenty to go around, then... nothing.The Clone Wars opens in theater nation-wide on Friday August 15, 2008. In case anyone was wondering.

2008-08-10T01:30:00.005-04:00

This handmade miniature Chewbacca Mouse by Etsy (spotted by i09) is so cute, that it was tested against Ewoks. The Chewbacca Mouse trumped the Ewok's in cuteness so much, it actually made the Ewoks look like ogres. Just see the test results for yourself:Even in a standalone trial, the Chewbacca Mouse is undeniably cute= CUTEBut when put side by side with an Ewok, the results are quite clear.

He is admittedly not a Star Wars fan which would explain the mediocre level of excitement present in the article. The "clear winner" seems to be the next-gen platform versions (if you couldn't

Every once in a while I like to browse Metacritic. Not because I give a hoot about what the critics say, but because as much as I hate statistics, I live for collective feedback and averages. Or something like that. There's just something about Metacritic that gives me hope, or perhaps an excuse. Can't quite put my finger on it.I recently checked out how Wall.E was averaging, and was surprised (

In a recent game critic press event, LucasArts not only shows off TFU and the coming Nintendo Clone Wars games, but it also assures us that development continues for the future, including the next-gen Indy game.

The lightsaber-centric game is tentatively titled simply Star Wars The Clone Wars: Lightsaber Duels. IGN talks

His new film "The Square" made it's first screening recently at the Sydney Film Festival.

Over at i09 they go so far as to contemplate Michael Jackson starring in Star Wars. The horror!Interestingly, the reverse doesn't have the same effect on me. There is something quite gratifying about seeing Vader and his troopers reenacting Michael

It's hard to choose a favorite aspect out of this analysis, but I love the overall theme of the Indiana Jones movies as anti-neo-Hollywood, yet pro-early 20th century serial B-movie.

Soul Calibur IV also unleashing the Force?

2008-06-06T18:53:00.001-04:00

The Soul Calibur - Star Wars parallel universe just got a little bigger. We've all already heard that we'll be seeing Darth Vader and Yoda in Soul Calibur IV (the former on PS3 and the latter on Xbox 360), but it has now been revealed that we will also be getting a taste of Vader's "secret apprentice" from the highly anticipated upcoming Force Unleashed game.Now waitaminnut!

Clone Wars game for Nintendo

2008-06-06T17:57:00.001-04:00

If anyone bought or peeked at the guide book for the new Lego Indiana Jones game, they would have caught a glimpse at the full page spread right on the inside of the cover for a Clone Wars game exclusively for Wii and NDS.Rumor has it that the game, based on the upcoming Clone Wars animated series, will come out in the fall - soon after the series premieres in theaters on August 15. That's plenty

Hayden's hot new spread

2008-06-01T20:04:00.001-04:00

Okay, I just couldn't justify spending the $15 on the HUGE new men's fashion magazine Man About Town, which features Hayden Christensen in issue #2. Maybe I'll have a fangirl breakdown in the coming weeks. I did flip through and it's quite a hefty spread in quite a hefty magazine.http://www.manabouttownonline.com/

Andretti's Indy Indy car gets pounced

2008-06-01T19:56:00.001-04:00

Many of you have heard and seen the dream team's dream car that reared it's shining crystal skull hull at the recent Indianapolis 500 (read more). Well, I just happened to flip on the TV today and caught the very end of the Milwaukee 225 and saw Andretti and the beautifully emblazened Indiana Jones Indy car get totally jumped during a final lap crash. Sucky.

Indy IV - 57 mistakes and counting

2008-05-29T16:56:00.001-04:00

Not that I care. In fact, the mistakes probably make the film even more endearing to me since it makes the Indiana Jones serials even more similar to it's inspirational predecessors from the early 20th century. I have to wonder if or how many of the so-called mistakes are intentional.Moviemistakes.com has updated the count from 48 to 57 in the last 24 hours (at the time of this posting). Hey, at

Indy 4 is here, now the countdown for LEGO Indy is on!

2008-05-22T19:06:00.001-04:00

Now that 'Crystal Skull' is out, I can move on to another countdown - LEGO Indy for seven gaming platforms (PS3, PS2, PSP, Xbox 360, Wii, NDS, and PC) will be out June 3. Whew! I was just getting to the point where I was playing more LEGO Star Wars than was probably healthy. Now at least I can say it's a different game and start from hour zero again. LEGO Indy will cover the original trilogy of

Indy for real?

2008-05-22T19:00:00.001-04:00

Recently I heard a public radio story about a real-life Indiana Jones who coincidentally hails out of Yale University where some of the Marshall College vehicle chase scenes in Indy 4 were filmed. Hiram Bingham III discovered and studied Peruvian artifacts and Machu Picchu (also coincidental, but maybe not, to the setting of Indy 4) in the early 20th century. There is some amazingly similar

Here's a few search results among the gajillion that I couldn't not share (these are screen caps, so the links won't work - but if you click on the picture, you will see a bigger, better view)...What I wanna know is if

Star Wars Vector #3 out now

2008-04-27T21:48:00.001-04:00

... but I haven't gotten it yet. Supposedly it was out on April 16, but I haven't seen it in any of the shops I've stopped at yet. Hmmmm. Anyway, following the Vector series so far has been interesting, especially from someone who has been reading the KOTOR series already. It's been sort of a love-hate thing since I had a hard time weening myself off of Brian Ching's penciling after the first

Jason Geyer's Star Wars nerd dream come true

This news is a little dated (from Feb '08) but I'm just now landing on this article from Action Figure Insider online by Jason "ToyOtter" Geyer about his path to Star Wars nerd enlightenment in the toy and merchandising industry. I don't think I'll ever comprehend the "all Star Warsed out" part, at least not in a permanent sense. Otter shares some ideas that did and did not make it. It's prolly
