Pretty much speaks for itself, doesn’t it? This Star Wars toaster burns the visage of Darth Vader into your breakfast.  It even uses the power of the Dark Side to prevent your toast from landing butter side down, something the Light doesn’t teach.

Read on for the official geeked-out description that only a true Star Wars nerd could appreciate. Read more…

Star Wars is back! But is it though? Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is a mishmash of sub-par combat, mediocre platforming, exceptional storytelling and sound, and a whole lot of Wookie ass-kickery. Are the high points enough to save the game, or will its drawbacks “force” you to pass this one by? Read more…

If the numerous photo and video leaks hinting at an eventual Soul Calibur IV DLC, allowing PS3 and Xbox 360 owners to download Yoda and Darth Vader respectively, were not enough to convince you of its existence, Namco is now confirming what many of us already expected. Read more…

Of all the new fighting games being released this year, SoulCalibur IV represents, like, half of them. Considering it doesn’t have much competition, SoulCalibur really didn’t need to try very hard to pillage the average fighting game fan’s cash. Instead of just phoning it in like some series do (*cough, Madden, *cough), Namco Bandai Games has hand-delivered a game that makes Street Fighter 3 Turbo Alpha Pro Edition look like Street Fighter 2 Championship Hyper Tournament Edition.

The rumor surrounding the possibility of being able to download Yoda on the PS3, and Vader on the 360, edged a tad bit closer to reality today, as supposed leaked in-game screens and video seem to confirm their simultaneous existence in the game.

The website housing both the leaked images (shown above and below), and the video which appears at the tail end of this article, claims that the content comes directly from Namco and has not been altered in any way.

While the screens are being reported as those of the Xbox 360 version (made evident by the green and red select buttons shown below), the site also states their belief that the PS3 version will share the same DLC option for Yoda.

Images have been known to be shopped on the web, but the addition of the video, which surfaced shortly after the screens were leaked, makes it hard for us to deny that, at the very least, there is some version of the game out there that contains the two characters.

Assuming that this confirms Namco’s intent to release both Yoda and Vader as DLC on their respective consoles, there is still no mention of price, and it’s hard to believe that a merger of two forces this epic would come for free.

Below is what appears to be an in-game video depicting Yoda battling it out with none other than Darth Vader himself. Enjoy. Read more…

hmm, surprised to see me you are…

Categorize this under ‘straight out of left field.’ Earlier today, 1UP’s James Mielke posted a news story revealing that Namco Bandai somehow acquired rights to Star Wars characters, specifically the Sith to rule all Siths, Darth Vader (only available on the PS3), and the tiny but mighty Yoda (only available on the 360).
