I'm off to the Star Wars Celebration Europe this afternoon. And I'm scared. Don't get me wrong, I love the Wars as much as the next 30 something male - I still regret selling all my toys for a tenner back in '85, sob - but I'm guessing the hordes descending on London's Docklands this weekend may be taking things a little too seriously.
The reason for the visit - other than to catch a glimpse of Mark "Skywalker" Hammill who, allegedly, will be flogging his autograph for 85 quid a pop - is to check out the first next-gen Star Wars game, Force Unleashed. Knights of the Old Republic and Lego Star Wars have helped banish the memories of the gaming travesties that have borne the Star Wars name in recent years. Force Unleashed at least talks a good talk - this is the first in-game collaboration between LucasArts and Industrial Light and Magic - but Star Wars gamers have been burnt too often for me to be overly confident. We'll see. Anyway, it's Friday so let's have it then. What are your top 3 Star Wars games? KOTOR, Super Empire Strikes Back and Tie Fighter for me.
