Geekmadness has now moved to its own private server! What does this mean? Well, for one we can have more control over how the blog shows up, and we can put in more stuff like different plugins and themes. It’s all about improving the audience’s experience. In celebration of our server shift, we have TWO awesome posts, instead of the usual once in a month, hehe. I really need to post more often…anyway, just read on!
LucasArts is once again giving us a treat with a new game from the Star Wars franchise. This time though, you’ll be able to wield a really powerful Sith/Jedi. As opposed to the wimpy neophyte Kyle Katarn in Jedi Knight, the improved but still a bit weak Kyle Katarn in Jedi Knight II, or even any of the Jedis you’ve played it from Jedy Academy up to the present, none will be able to compare to Vader’s secret apprentice (although the jury’s still out if he’s stronger than the pre-Episode-3-mutilation-Anakin; we think he is). And what better way to wield all these force than none other than…wielding them. Forget about mashing buttons and thumb-dexterity, you’ll be swinging your Wiimote as if it were a real lightsaber, and force-pushing your opponents THROUGH WALLS quite literally with your nunchuck. Seeing is believing, so you better just watch the video yourself. (Note: for those of you who are behind a proxy, and YouTube is blocked, here’s the link to the GameTrailers video)
Alternatively, you could go to Miro Guide and search for “gametrailers wii” and add the GameTrailers Wii channel and look for the video through Miro. If you have no idea what I just said, read up on our introduction to Miro

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed comes out this Tuesday, September 16 so be sure to head on over to your local game retailer or order online now through Play-Asia. Play Asia offers free delivery to most Asian countries. So if you’re stuck with a US Wii in Japan, you no longer have to contend with the exorbitant import prices. If you don’t have a Wii, you should get one. But if you’re content of pushing buttons, Force Unleashed is also available for Xbox 360, PS2, PS3, PSP, and the DS.
