The Star Wars: Clone Wars: Saga of Heroes game is actually a pretty fun side-scrolling platformer game. Its kind of a neat tie-in as it follows the cartoons storyline and you get to fight some of the actual battles. Most stages/parts of levels really only take 10 minutes to pass and 3-4 stages per level so its very easy to start/stop/continue. It's co-op enabled over xbox live and local seat multiplayer. Both those are pretty cool as you can work with a partner to destroy the 'robot' enemies or the dark side's Jedis.

Also, there's something like 35 levels? Each level takes around 30 minutes with the exception of a few short levels so around 18 hours of gameplay. Then there's different difficulties for achievements, etc. The neat part also is you get to actually play a few missions storm troopers and use storm trooper vehicles which is rare as so many games focus on Jedi-only.

In addition, you get experience points from battling and your Jedi or Stormtroopers level up and your able to purchase increased dmg, force powers, etc with your experience points. It seems few side-scrollers have an upgrade system so that was a nice surprise/bonus to find out. The jumping in the game is pretty natural, smooth and intutitve. Its kind of like Prince of Persia where your character can pretend when your going to jump and aim for obstacles he or she can jump on, climb on, summer-sault on or the motion where you go in a circle around a bar? Whatever that's called in gymnastics. The difference though is unlike Prince of Perisa, jumping WORKS. Your character doesn't semi-frequently decide 'Ohh, you want to jump off the wall and fall into the pit, not run across, don't you?' or 'Ohh, you want to run across the wall not jump to the object right infront of you that leads to the next, so-on, so-on, don't you?'

Seriously, the VGA's are NOT E3! Why are they trying to be? I don't care how much exclusive nonsense there is, I refuse to watch. I will increase the ratings of this monstrosity of an awards show! I suggest you all do the same. Just check online about an hour afterward and you'll find the same stuff.

No point watching when you will be able to see the videos online 5 minutes after they show it at the VGAs.

that's horribly inefficient when I could watch it and see it an hour earlier on TV

VGA's are awesome anyway, any cool video game footage is welcome on television to me, just because I can watch it on youtube doesnt vilify it on TV.
If you dont like it dont watch it

Unlikely. LucasArts pulled funding from the PS360 Battlefront III project, which was exactly what killed Free Radical in the first place.

It is up to debate as to whether the lower-end Battlefront III versions (Wii, PS2, PSP) survived, or not.

For all the money you think they'd have, they have 'funding problems' a lot.

'Funding problems' is what killed the 2005 KotOR III project.

I can't imagine that someone wouldn't continue with the franchise, considering how successful the first two games were.

I don't think its BattleFront 3. I think this just going to be more info on SW: TOR? I couldn't help but notice the teaser trailer video contained scenes from the SW: TOR hype-video from about 3 months back where the sith invade the capital building in Corescaunt and the large battle persues.

Battlefront III, to my knowledge, was rumored to be in development at Rebellion after Free Radical died. However, I'd be just as happy with Republic Commando 2. That game was just ripe for a sequel!

If they forgo Battlefront III, Jedi Knight III, Republic Commando 2, or Knights of the Old Republic III for LEGO Star Wars: The Clone Wars I'll be sad.

Wouldn't mind a new Pod Racer game though. The first one was fun as hell.

Im sorry but the MMO is not KOTOR 3! It may be a good game and all, but there is NO way it'll have the same impact on the player as a good, old fashioned story driven RPG.

BioWare created the KotOR franchise, so if they say TOR is KotOR3, I'm more inclined to believe them than the whinings of bitter "I want KotoR3 to be single-player!" fanboys.

MMOs are shit. End of story.

TOR is not KotOR 3, it's a rapebaby MMO which I hope fails like Galaxies did.

Gotta love your attitude. "Let's hope this game fails miserably since otherwise I might actually end up liking it." MMO's aren't all bad, I loved playing them because of the sense of community you get. Even if half the population are douchebags, the other half is really fun to play with.

Look at EVE Online. They've managed to create a world where player corporations can exist, thrive, and then be dismantled due to espionage from another faction. Single player games can't replicate that sort of thing.

TOR might not be KOTOR3, and believe me I wish there was one, but it's obvious that it's going to offer an experience that most MMO's haven't attempted to achieve yet, and that's enough for me at least.

Everyone wants a new Jedi Knight game. Which means its going to be another crappy arcade style game. They never give us what we really want.
