The Star Wars saga will continue in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, a videogame developed by LucasArts, which casts players as Darth Vader’s “Secret Apprentice” and promises to unveil new revelations about the Star Wars galaxy. The expansive story, created under direction from George Lucas, is set during the largely unexplored era between Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. In it, players will assist the iconic villain in his quest to rid the universe of Jedi—and face decisions that could change the course of their destiny.
As its name implies, The Force Unleashed completely re-imagines the scope and scale of the Force by taking full advantage of newly developed technologies that will be seen and experienced for the first time: Digital Molecular Matter (DMM), by Pixelux Entertainment, and euphoria by NaturalMotion Ltd. Paired with the powerful Havok Physics™ system, these new technologies create gameplay only possible on the new generation of consoles. DMM incorporates the physical properties of anything in the environment so that everything reacts exactly like it should—wood breaks like wood, glass shatters like glass, plants on the planet Felucia bend like plants on the planet Felucia would, and more. Meanwhile, as a revolutionary behavioral-simulation engine, euphoria enables interactive characters to move, act and even think like actual human beings, adapting their behavior on the fly and resulting in a different payoff every single time.

Armchair hunters, put your hunting gear on. Some new prey - a monstrous lava dragon first seen in Monster Hunter Frontier - will be available for you to hunt in Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G come tomorrow.
The latest downloadable quest for the game has you facing off against the Voruganosu. Make sure you’ve got at least some kind of protection against heat as Voruganosu can spit lava balls at you. As modern science and Hollywood have proven time and again, burning hot lava significantly cuts down anybody’s life expectancy.
The Voruganosu quest goes live in Japan tomorrow at 1 in the afternoon. Japan time, of course. Keep checking back here for more updates on Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G.

A week ago, we already received word that Cloud of Darkness and the Onion Knight from Final Fantasy III will be making their way to Square Enix’s upcoming brawler, Dissidia: Final Fantasy. However, aside from the initial scan, there wasn’t a lot to go on from the tiny screenshots and the two character mock-ups on them.
Fortunately, we were able to get our hands on additional Famitsu scans showing off some of the characters’ flashier battle sequences in EX Mode. For those of you not familiar with this particular game mechanic, EX Mode gives a character a chance to unleash massive damage on his or her opponent, similar to the series’ trademark Limit Break attack.
One of the screenshots in scans even show the green tinged version of Cloud of Darkness that Gino D. mentioned in his introductory article to the FF3 characters. From what we can make out, you can also take a look at some quick costume changes from the very versatile warrior.
In any case, it definitely looks like Dissidia: Final Fantasy is shaping up to be one great Square Enix extravaganza. We hope they reveal even more characters very soon. In the meantime, why not read through our Dissecting Dissidia feature article, which you can access through the link below.

Imagine, if you will, a handheld console that has a single, wide touchscreen and plays some pretty graphically impressive handheld games. If you guessed we were talking about a DS, you’d be wrong: we’re actually talking about the latest innovation from modder jube808: a touchscreen-enabled PSP!
Jube808 essentially wants to add features to the PSP that he feels should have been on the handheld in the first place, such as the touchscreen function mentioned above, as well as increased battery life and a redesigned control pad.
The project is still under development, but he has released some videos showing the touchscreen in action. Feel free to check out the two videos below and visit the source link for more info and updates.
