Not only do we get the DVD/Blu-ray release of Season 1 of The Clone Wars today, but we're also treated to a double shot of Star Wars video games.

The Force Unleashed: Ultimate Sith Edition rolls out for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 with 3 new levels and other goodies to be enjoyed by the Starkiller enthusiasts out there. The PC version has been available since October 23rd. Click here for our TFN review of The Ultimate Sith Edition if you have yet to do so.

Handheld gamers can also now pick up the latest addition to the Star Wars Battlefront franchise, Elite Squadron, for the Sony PSP and Nintendo DS. Keep checking back for our TFN review a bit later in the week. There's a lot of fun to be had with this one and I don't want to miss anything for the review.

Let's not forget that Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Republic Heroes was released not too long ago on multiple platforms. We reviewed that one as well right here!

There's no shortage of Star Wars related releases this fall (especially considering we're also in the middle of TCW S2) so have fun with it all!


UPDATE: Got official LucasArts press releases for both games that came out today in case you're interested:
