Gamer Time: The Force Unleashed
Platforms: Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, PS2, DS, PSP
Genre: Action
Give in to the lure of the Dark Side in the next major Star Wars game. You'll take on the role of Darth Vader's secret Sith apprentice, Starkiller, running mysterious errands for the Jedi Lord while wielding incredibly destructive Force powers.
Why It's Hot: It's the missing link. Set between the end of Episode III and the beginning of Episode IV, The Force Unleashed sees Starkiller tracking down the few Jedi who lived through Emperor Palpatine's Jedi purge, lending new insight into Vader's relationship with the Emperor and functioning as a sort of bridge between the two film trilogies. That's awesome, and so is the game's tech. Thanks to a trio of cutting-edge technologies, you'll toss stormtroopers, rebel soldiers and even entire Tie-Fighters around like ragdolls, turning the galaxy far, far, away into your personal Jedi stomping ground.
Why It's Not: Think this is your chance to bust out your spot-on Star Wars kid imitation by waving your Wiimote around like a lightsaber? Not quite, padawan. Though you'll be able to swing your sword using gestures, The Force Unleashed is not a saber simulator. Another strike against the Wii version: it's being developed by a different studio (as is the DS and PSP) and isn't powered by the same fancy technology as the 360 and PS3 versions. The Force might not be with this one...

New Release: The Inheiritence Cycle
Sunday, September 7, 2008
Gamer Time: Spore
Platforms: PC, Mac
Genre: Simulation
From the innovative mind of Will Wright comes this evolutionary masterpiece. Guide a creature out of the primordial soup, nurturing its quest for survival by mating with others of its kind, forming tribes and civilizations as it conquers first the planet, then the galaxy.
Why It's Hot: You want credentials? Spore's got enough to fill up a spaceship. Its designer, Will Wright, is responsible for countless hits, including the best-selling PC game franchise of all-time (The Sims). It has taken home E3 trade show awards for three straight years. Released last month, the game's editing tool -- the Creature Creator -- has enjoyed well over 1 million downloads, spawned half as many Youtube videos and even dethroned dueling chieftains World of Warcraft and Age of Conan on the PC sales chart. And did we mention the epic gameplay? It looks insane. They don't call it the "universe in a box" for nothing.
Why It's Not: No one's really played much of it yet, so we're not exactly sure how gracefully the game will manage to tie together its different gameplay styles. Spore has also been in development for a very long time, encountering several postponements en route to its September release. That's never a good sign for a game as ambitious as this, and as we all know, one misstep in the evolutionary process can lead to all sorts of problems. Just ask a Platypus.
