Thats right, LucasArts has announced that the third DLC for the game, and the second mission-based one, the Tatooine DLC will be made available from today. The mission is basically a what-if in which
SPOILER ALERT!
The Apprentice kills Darth Vader and stands beside the Emperor as his best assassin/ Jedi hunter. The mission will see you, Starkiller being sent to Tatooine by the Emperor to kill Obi Wan.
That wasn't a very good pun, was it?
LucasArts confirms that the Sith Edition of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed will have trophies included. No announcement of a patch yet, but its very probable.
New DLC for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed has just been announced, as well as the Ultimate Sith Edition, and with it comes a trailer and screenshots.
The new content will be called "Infinities", allowing you to continue where the story left off, under the premise, "What if the dark side won?" It will be available this autumn for Xbox 360 and PS3.

On this ninth day, The Twelve Games of Christmas enters its ninth edition, and today we run through the top-performing disc-based releases of September 2008.

LucasArts has released the Jedi Temple Mission DLC (800 MS Points) for their popular Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. The new mission is said to take Starkiller into the remains of the Jedi Temple (hence the name). The Force Unleashed initially launched on September 16th in North America and introduces a number of new characters into the Star Wars universe.
"While the DLC offers nothing new in terms of gameplay, you'll have ten new costumes in which to hack Stormtroopers
to tiny bits. You have three new costumes for the Secret Apprentice (aka Galen Marek):
And seven "skins", allowing you to play as memorable characters from Star Wars lore:

"LucasArts has sent over word that it plans to release two downloadable content packs for Star Wars: Force Unleashed on 360 and PS3.
The first of the internally-developed packs will add costumes and character models to the game, including Luke Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ki-Adi-Mundi, and Kit Fisto. These can be used in place of the Secret Apprentice while playing through the single-player campaign.
Then later in the year a second pack will be released adding a new mission set in the J..."
"Whatever your opinion of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, most will agree that the story would've made for a halfway decent Star Wars film. It'd at least be better than the prequels. So what are the chances of The Force Unleashed becoming a movie?"
Australian software sales for the week of September the 21st for all consoles, the Wii and the Nintendo DS.
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed heavily dominated the all consoles top ten, also managing a respectable second on the top ten Wii games from being beaten by Wii Fit which also managed third being the best all console seller other than Star Wars. Wall-E managed top spot for the DS chart closely followed by Cooking Guide: Can't Decide What To Eat.
Overall the Nintendo Wii was by far ...
GamersDailyNews.com goes to the galaxy far, far away (but getting a lot closer, considering the slew of Star Wars stuff we've seen the last few years) and takes a close look at the latest addition to the Lucas canon. Is this a franchise that a game company should really be tinkering with?
"3) Sam tried to bring Luke Skywalker to the Apprentice?
No one likes to be an asshole all the time. Sam mentioned that he wanted to bring as much of Luke Skywalkers wide-eyed, naive nature to the Apprentice. Hes fun, hes likable and so is his crew, so you definitely get a sort of Millennium Falcon vibe from the bunch. Even if they are going around killing all the good guys in the first few levels, you still like them. It goes a long way to making the characters feel more rounded.
4) S..."
IGN have gone and released a review for Star Wars: The Force Unleased for the Wii in a lead up to it's release over the next couple of days.
It gives you a basic idea, discusses how the Wii version is better than was originally expected and the gameplay.
The games should start arriving this week at retailers Wednesday, September 17, and they should have a good truckload this time.

From Dragon Quest IV to Star Wars: The Force Unleashed to Crysis Warhead to WAR to Rock Band 2, gamers won't have trouble finding their blockbuster title of choice, though the trouble may be in finding how many one can afford.
Xbox 360 Fanboy has posted up the weekly gaming deals for us, which include the Gears of War PC version for $15, a free Force Unleashed t-shirt if you buy the game at Best Buy, and tons more.

With the Star Wars: The Force Unleashed being released in less than a week, GameTrailers have started preparing for this with a launch center, full of everything you'd want to know about the game.
You may have heard a rumor this morning that a PC version of Star Wars: Force Unleashed was in the works. The rumor has been shot down faster than a TIE fighter, which lacks the shield generators of larger Imperial craft and - okay, the rumor was disproved quickly.
Video games used to come preprogrammed with canned movements that expert players eventually could anticipate and figure out. But recent advancements in video game design and new game consoles with dazzling computing power have endowed computer-controlled characters with a sense of self-preservation and unpredictability not seen even a year ago.
Das Gamer had a chance to interview Julio Torres, the producer of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. She answered questions about having lightsaber duels with the Wiimote, multiplayer details, and a bunch of other things! The game will be coming out September 16th for the U.S.
The annual E3 Media & Business Summit, known as E3 is coming up soon between 15-17 July. There will be new games and announcements, but that's not all! Major game producers will be spreading big news, so be sure to take a look.
Gamespot have listed the games they're most anticipating and what will be seen at E3. The list includes the following: "Lego Batman", "Resident Evil 5", "Resistance 2", "Saints Row 2", "Soulcalibur IV", "Spore" (yes Spore!)... see the source for more.
"Sith Trials - Complete all Training Room challenges and Combat Modules
Sith Training - Complete all Training Room lessons
Cannon Fodder - Defeat 150 Stormtroopers
The Harder They Fall - Defeat 10 AT-STs or AT-KTs"
Yep, it ain't just Yoda and Darth Vader anymore in the upcoming Soul Calibur title. Namco Bandai dropped another bomb today, revealing the "Secret Apprentice," the main character in the (also) upcoming Star Wars: The Force Unleashed will be featured, this one being in both versions. Talk about pimpage.
"Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is the "greatest" Star Wars game ever made, according to the game's producer.
Speaking to VideoGamer.com at an Activision/LucasArts event in London last week, Cameron Suey, the producer in charge of the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the game, said that in his opinion The Force Unleashed, which sees you play Darth Vader's previously unknown secret apprentice in an adventure that takes place in between the two movie trilogies, has the greatest story of any Star ..."
Could Force Unleashed be one of the best Star Wars games ever made? Cameron Suey Producer of the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions certainly gives that impression in this interview. He also talks about the future of the Star Wars franchise in the game industry and says "You might see less and better" meaning there might be less Star Wars games in future, but they'll be of better quality.
The bigger they are, the harder they fall. The same saying goes for the PSP. It's already made big waves this year with God of War: Chains of Olympus and Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core, but don't think for a second that it's done pulling the punches yet!
PSP Blogger takes a look at some of the titles still planned for the PSP in 2008. Among these are a few new games, but there's also a few older ones coming out via the Playstation Store.
Just recently, LucasArts has announced that physics-based jedi sim will be released on: September 16th in the United States, September 17th in Southeast Asia and Australia, and September 19th in Europe. Hopefully the publishers don't delay the title.
The game will be releasing on Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Nintendo Wii, Playstation Portable, Playstation 2, and the Nintendo DS.
Yes its true. Darth Vader will be playable in the upcoming star wars game, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. You will be able to use his full powers from the movie and also be able to kick some wookie ass. There is also a brand new video of the Raxus Prime Level that can be seen here
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed might get delayed if Amazon is to be believed. The site has changed the release date from April to August. Lucas Arts is keeping it kind of busy these days with Fracture, Force Unleased, Indiana Jones and an un-named project with BioWare, so a delay to one of their games doesn't sound too preposterous.
While we might not be getting a genuine lightsaber game on the Wii for a while it shouldn't be too hard to make do with Star Wars: The Force Unleashed until then. Check out the official E3 trailer with GamerSquad.
We have a ton of others on offer including Silent Hill: Origins, Parappa the Rapper, de Blob, Scene It, Smarty Pants, Nitro Bike and more!
"Assume the roll of Darth Vada's secret apprentice and ramp the Force power amp up to 11, because thats the entire core gameplay mantra for The Force Unleashed, even the games creators are living and breathing the idea of monumentally "kicking someones ass with the Force" throughout the entire production."
