Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
You've got to feel a bit sorry for George Lucas. Having hit the jackpot with the original Star Wars trilogy and then Indiana Jones, pretty much anything he'd try to do afterwards was always going to have to be utterly brilliant to stop the moaning fanboys. Instead he gave us the Ewok movies, the prequels and then – my personal frothing at the mouth moment – The Clone Wars film. The Star Wars franchise is like a horse being flogged to within an inch of its life. But there is still life in the beast yet – at least if you're a gamer.

I have a terrible terrible sense of direction. I have been known to get lost in people's houses. That's ordinary sized houses. There is just a small part of my mind which is incapable of comprehending (and retaining) where things are in relation to each other. Navigation is my Kryptonite if you will. It makes getting places rather frustrating at the best of times.

Civilisation Revolution (XBox 360)
