It is nearly a full month since I bought my X-Box 360 (if I’m not mistaken, it was around 15th December). I was lent 6 games by Polyhex and Agent, and got 2 from them for Christmas. So, after only a month, I have completed one game, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.

Lordy! It’s an absolutely brilliant game.It helps that I’m a Star Wars fan. And this, to me, is a very welcome addition to the canon. The story sucks you in, and the gameplay is absolutely superb, with the graphics out of this world (and the way they drew one of the characters: Juno Eclipse. Remarkable). X-Box 360 games centre around achievements – do something in the game and get a bonus type thing. Even though the amount I have for the game is slightly on the low side, at least I’ve finished it. Absolutely brilliant it is. It’s certainly kept me quiet.

WARNING: THE NEXT PARAGRAPH CONTAINS SPOILERS ABOUT THE GAME

My X-Box 360 avatar’s motto is: “You want me to do what?”. And that was precisely what I was thinking when the simple instruction came up on the screen: “Defeat Darth Vader”. I mean, what?? But after a while I managed to do just that…

Oh well, more games to go I suppose…

First X-Box 360 game rating: 9 / 10.

Footnote: Apparently this year, Part II is coming out! Mind if I go geek-crazy for a bit?
