Gaming News: 5th May 2010

Feel The Force

News just in that we know a lot of you have been waiting for is that Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II is scheduled for an October release. The date given is the 26th although as yet we do not know if this is a European date or not. Surely waiting till May 4th would have been better? The marketing just writes itself! Well the first game was an enjoyable if flawed romp with great ideas that almost hit the spot. We are hoping for more Empire Strikes Back than Revenge of the Sith this time round!

Reach Around!

Yes it is finally here, the Beta of Halo Reach went live this week and Moonhead has been playing it. In a slick, “We need to get rid of all this massive pile of unsold copies of ODST!” move, Bungie and Microsoft have been plastering XBL with tons of adverts for the last and most terrible version of Halo. Seriously if anyone is considering buying into this marketing ploy, take yourselves outside now and hose yourself down with cold water and the run naked through the streets yelling “I love Microsoft and will buy anything they tell me to!” For those of you who aren’t willing to do that then Moonhead will bring us news of whether Reach has been worth the hype, later this week.
