There will be a press event held tomorrow at 5:00 PM EST. What about? Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. LucasArts and BioWare are holding the event. Will it be KOTOR III or will it be the KOTOR MMO? I don’t know.

1UP will know the answer though, so keep your eye on 1UP.com.

Are you excited? I’m not…

The Star Wars: The Force Unleashed demo was released earlier today on both the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live! Marketplace. The game sounds brilliant on paper and definitely showed well in demonstration videos, but as the gameplay videos began to trickle in, doubt began to settle in my mind. I want a spiritual successor to the Jedi Knight games with rich lightsaber combat and despite the obvious subtitle; I was hoping The Force Unleashed would deliver on that. Unfortunately, I expected a bit too much.

Those of you who care for BioWare’s Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic may be pleased to know that an MMO spin off of KOTOR is coming. I can’t say I’m excited for two reasons:

1. I never played KOTOR
2. I not a fan of MMORPGs.

No further details were divulged.

For the hardcore gamer demographic, Nintendo’s press conference was a bore. For those with an open mind and curious as to how Nintendo will continue to broaden the gaming market, it was something worthwhile. Sorta.

The press conference was a mixed bag and just like Microsoft’s press conference, it’s a lot more exciting to read the list. Enjoy.
