A powerful use of the force doesn't necessarily mean that the force power has to be unique, just that its use has devastating results. And if you want a fine example of that, look no further than Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.

While quick time events are practically a dirty word among gamers, and not unjustifiably, TFU's are handled decently enough - in that they're exclusively relegated to mini bosses or end-level bosses. And when you do come across them, they are glorious to behold. True to the game's name, Starkiller unleashed the force in a way not seen until the sequel trilogy took off the kid's gloves with the force.

From throwing Shaak-Ti into the middle of a giant sarlacc beast and then frying them both with force lightning, to managing to floor Darth Freaking Vader, this game makes you feel less like a Jedi or Sith, and more like a cosmic god.

Just a shame that the sequel couldn't continue this high, and instead reminded us all why we can't have nice things.
