Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II Arriving on the PC

The first Star Wars: The Force Unleashed game didn’t release on the PC, but made it to most other consoles out there.

Then Star Wars: The Force Unleashed: Ultimate Sith Edition did make it to the PC with some added features that weren’t in the original, albeit more than a year later.

Now it’s been confirmed that the second game, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II, announced late last year, will appear on the PC this time. The PC port is being worked on by Aspyr, who ported Star Wars: The Force Unleashed: Ultimate Sith Edition to the PC.

The title should be released on October 26, 2010. Hopefully the PC version will come out at the same time, this time.

Yep, Published Another Article Today

I’ve sacrificed my time for blogging by focusing on articles lately. I did another one today, and I’m now exhausted. The first week of going back to writing full strength after the holidays has been quite taxing.

This latest article is the one I said would tie in with the other two, and it’s called “PC Games That Probably Won’t Make 2010”.

Here’s the short list of it:

Duke Nukem Forever

Duke Begins

Diablo III

Jagged Alliance 3

Dead Space 2

Prey 2

Half-Life 2: Episode 3

Thi4f (Thief 4)

Doom 4

Published Another Article Today: 2010 PC Games Part 2

Yeah, if you were reading my twitter account today, you’ll have seen that it was “hot as hell” where I am today, and it’s going to be bad tonight as well. Anyhow, through all the sweat, blood, and tears, I was able to build Part 2 of the series I’ve been working on, today.

What series is that you ask? It’s the “PC Games to Look Forward to in 2010” series. Part 1 is here, and the new episode, Part 2, is here. Not sure if they’ll be an episode 3 yet, but I am going to put up another article related to all this though soon called “PC Games That Likely Won’t Make 2010”, or something to that effect.

Here’s a short list of the games covered in this piece:

Kane& Lynch 2: Dog Days

Mafia II

Mass Effect 2

Max Payne 3

Medal of Honor

Metal Gear Solid: Rising

Metro 2033

Rage

Stalker: Call of Pripyat

StarCraft II

As you can see, a fair amount of post-apocalyptic titles represented here, with Rage, Metro 2033, and Call of Pripyat on the list. True, maybe not all the games here will make 2010, but right not, most of them have release dates set for this year… some time.

PC Games to Look Forward to in 2010: Part 1 – the Short Version

I told you about the article I wrote the other day, and I decided to do a short list type version here on the blog. Here’s the first ten, mentioned in Part 1. The order was initially supposed to be alphabetical, and it is in Part 1, but from Part 2 onwards, it might not have any real order.

Note that this is about PC games, so even though Assassin’s Creed II is out on Xbox 360 and PS3, it isn’t due for release on the PC until March.

Alien Colonial Marines

Aliens vs. Predator

Assassin’s Creed II

Battlefield Bad Company 2

BioShock 2

Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight

Crysis 2

Deus Ex 3

Fallout New Vegas

Hitman 5
