The Force Unleashed

As much as I loathe to confess any admiration for the continuing works of the heresiarch Lucas, I am forced to do so with the two new bits of Force tech on offer; Digital Molecular Matter and Euphoria. Both videos are worth a look despite the obvious Stormtrooperphobia of the latter. I am less impressed by the power-twink premise of the game (via Unicorn Bacon).

With DMM in action, a Jedi unleashes the Force like never before. His violent Force push hurtles a helpless stormtrooper through a stone column, blasting it apart. Moments later, the sudden lack of support causes the building to smash to the ground, piece by piece. Meanwhile, a virtual Jabba the Hutt presides over his court, as rolls of gelatinous fat bounce and jiggle thanks to a body composed of DMM.
...
A revolutionary behavioral-simulation engine, euphoria simulates the unpredictability of real life where no two experiences are ever the same. For the first time ever, euphoria enables interactive characters to move, act and even think like actual human beings, adapting their behavior on the fly and resulting in a different payoff ever single time.
