LucasArts has released the official system requirements for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed: Ultimate Sith Edition: The Video Game, and while most of the bullet-points are pretty reasonable, the 24GB install is certainly a little intimidating.

Continuing the recent spate of Xbox Live demos, a demo for A2M's over-the-top action game WET is now available to grab on the 360 service.

WET is a third-person game centered around a mix of sword and gunplay. Players string together combos and pull off slow-motion trick attacks much like a cross between The Matrix and Tony Hawk, with bonus points handed out for stylish kills. Read more »

LucasArts gives us a peek at The Force Unleashed's Hoth mission with this new batch of screenshots. The mission will be included exclusively in the upcoming Sith Edition of the game, and sees the player traveling to the ice planet to do battle with Luke Skywalker in a bit of Sith revisionist history.

The Sith Edition hits this holiday on PC, Mac, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Publisher Bethesda today announced that WET, the latest game to emerge from seemingly innuendo-laden independent developer A2M (Artificial Mind and Movement), will hit North American store shelves September 15.

The PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 action game stars the gun-toting, sword-wielding and extremely acrobatic Rubi as she slices, shoots and slides her way towards revenge. Along the way, she'll chug countless bottles of whiskey (then toss the empty bottle and shatter it with a bullet) to regain health, or, as the game puts it, "numb the pain." Read more »

WET might seem a lewd and lascivious title, but publisher Bethesda has assured us it's a connection to wetwork--the bloody mercenary work protagonist Rubi specialises in. There's certainly plenty of that on display, along with some stylish stunts and set pieces.

During its press event in London last week, Bethesda not only cleared up the status of its long in-development project Rogue Warrior, but also announced it would be publishing A2M's action shooter WET and licensing a series of Elder Scrolls novels.

After the flips and swordplay and the exploding car, you think you've seen it all. But then, Rubi starts to slide down a vertical wall on her knees, and you realize you know nothing.

Developer A2M now expects to get PS3 and Xbox 360 gamers Wet with taint-splitting combat later this year. No word yet on a new publisher after Activision Blizzard dropped the title in mid-2008, but the studio tells Destructoid that it's "having discussions." Read more »
