Matt Shell, Marketing Manager at LucasArts, has told all gamers to mark their calendar for August, because a demo of the hugely anticipated Star Wars: The Force Unleashed will be hitting both Xbox Live and PlayStation Store during the month.

Of great interest, Shell pointed out that the demo will feature its own unique ending. The scene will be demo-only. What that ending will be, and how it will tie into the retail version of the game is unknown, but this kinda of unique content is the sort of things most Star Wars fans would sell their mothers for.

The Force Unleashed looks like it's going to turn out quite nicely at this rate. We'll keep you up to date as we find out more.

It's the best kind of in progress critique you could hope for. Good on them for wanting to make a demo worth putting one's interest in and thus, get the answers they want whilst giving gamers a good bite for them to assess what they think about the game so far. Win-win, I think.

I did NOT buy Iron man and Turok based on the demo... and the reviews went hand in hand. There were of course the games I bought that had NO demos.... like GTA4 and MGS4... but those titles had sooo much funding and hype... that it would seem ludacris not to buy them. .... on a side note, my wife randomly signed me up for gamefly.. the service that lets you rent games like neflix.... I think this might change the way I buy games. ... and by the way, I LOVE my wife.
