Weekend Gaming: “Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II,” “Fable 3″ [OPEN THREAD]

This week in gaming saw a number of major releases, but the game that has seen the most action on my console is Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II.
The game moves much faster than its predecessor. There is almost zero exposition, with the player stepping directly into the extremely powerful Starkiller who is capable of forcing his way through just about anything. Not the most challenging game to ever hit the shelves, but it’s still pretty gratifying to hurl massive objects at stormtroopers and force crush TIE fighters in mid-flight.
Beyond that, I consider it an act of cruelty that Fable 3 and Fallout: New Vegas were released within a week of each other. How is a dedicated gamer possibly expected to keep up? But that’s enough about me. Let’s talk about you.
Still playing HALO: Reach? Just getting around to Vanquish? Holding out for Call of Duty: Black Ops? Playing something entirely different? Tell us about it.
Comments are open to: tips, critiques, (good-natured) smack talk and basically anything else related to gaming.
The weekend gaming open thread is intended to bring Mashable gamers together through conversation about games. This thread is for those of us who had the first NES and for those whose first gaming experience happened on an Xbox 360, so let’s try to keep it fun for everyone.
