On September 15, in a galaxy not so far away, national video game retailer, Game Crazy, is celebrating the release of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed with Midnight launch costume parties (8:00 p.m. - 1:00 a.m.). At Game Crazy stores nationwide, Jedi Knights, Storm Troopers, Bounty Hunters and other party attendees are invited to be among the first to play and purchase the new game when the clock strikes midnight.
