    Two of the seventy new game areas get a film clip of their own on the game's official website. You also get to see a couple of the characters run through the rich environments, lightsabers drawn. Mike Gallo, the narrator, lays out some new items, like a Force Crush - a power that allows you to lift your enemy off the ground and squeeze the life out of him. Just as in the original, the decisions you make will affect your path toward the Light or Dark side of the Force. While you're at the site, check out the screens for the new planet Dxun. They're under the heading "New Planet Revealed!"

    Obsidian's follow-up to the best-selling Xbox game, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, gets a good preview written up on Action Trip. KOTR 2:The Sith Lords takes place five years after the story from the first game. Spoiler warning! The article has some new details about the adventure that might ruin some of the fun. Your character can attain powers like Force Clairvoyance, Force Crush, Force Rage and Battle Meditation while battling on seven planets, including Dantooine. Apparently, the game isn't seeing a lot of updates as far as graphics or gameplay are concerned. That's probably fine by the few million fans who bought the first KOTR.
