Put the Force Back on its Leash
Finished Star Wars: the Force Unleashed on Friday. I guess I thought it was going somewhere bigger than this. Let me start with the non-spoiler comments, and then I’ll get into the details behind spoiler tags. I need to return for a second to the complaint I had about cutscenes last time. Worse than just […]
