...They Keep Pulling Me Back In.

You might've seen by now that Vader's Apprentice from the upcoming - and awesome-looking - The Force Unleashed will be joining his master in Soul Calibur IV. Here's an image of him facing off with Yoda:

Despite bashing of how Namco is handling their female characters, I can't argue that Soul Calibur is anything short of an amazing series. The fighting has always been top-notch and fun. Now, they're adding cool new characters into the mix, making it even harder to ignore just how great SCIV looks. That I'll be able to play online, a feature sorely lacking in the last few iterations, makes me wonder if I can keep from blowing $60 on it. I gotta stay strong until the Platinum Hits version comes out.

At this point, I'm wondering why Lucasarts hasn't contracted out the Project Soul team to make Masters of Teras Kasi 2. We know how well Namco can make a fighter, and despite my reduced interest in the Star Wars Universe, I still get fanboy tingles upon seeing Yoda and Vader in action.
