I can go ahead and give the other half of the game away if you want me to do it.

All they would have to do is something like Paramount does. All of the live action shows and the 11 movies are canon (the Animated Series is not, most of the 11th movie takes place in a alternate timeline and thus doesn't screw up the real timeline). This means Star Trek novel writers, comic writers, game developers, etc. can do almost anything they want (obviously they need approval, Paramount would not allow something like sex stories) without messing up the canon.

Gene Roddenberry insisted that the novels and the animated series not be canon, and because of that there's all kinds of contradictory stuff in the old ones. In the last 10-15 years they've been pretty careful about what happens in the novels and the vast majority of stuff from that era fits in just fine with established canon, but it would be even more of a mess than Star Wars if some novels were canon and others weren't.

I personally consider Michael A. Martin and Andy Mangels' Enterprise relaunch novels, as well as Greg Cox's Eugenics Wars novels, to be canonical, even though they aren't officially part of it.

Just remember that none of the novels (or anything they contain), even the novelizations of the films, are canon. If it didn't happen in one of the live action TV series or movies, then it us no more canonical than fanscripts on the Internet. Some of the novels are pretty good and I hope that they start a new TV series (set in the real timeline, not this BS alternate timeline), this way they could make canon stuff like Bajor officially joining the Federation like they did in the DS9 re-launch novels. Roddenberry used to change his mind all the time on what was and wasn't canon. Things get more complex when you consider than some stuff has un-officially been decanonized (like the widely hated Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, which has had most of its content contradicted by later movies/shows as Paramount tries to ignore the movie.

But like you said, Paramount decided to play it safe and just say that all novels are not canon. This prevents the mess that Lucasfilm has with Star Wars novels and the "Expanded Universe".

I watched the teaser trailer for this game. How is he gonna kill the giant monkey thing? His laser swords aren't long enough.

I imagine that the boss battle will be something like that of God of War 3. The boss battle will be massive with quick time events that involve Starkiller attacking the beast at vital areas. You can bet your last dollar that this creature will be exclusive to the HD consoles because I do not see it happening on the wii due to hard ware restrictions. Although something like the boass battles of Monster Hunter 3 could work. You will most likely fight a basic rancor in the arena on the wii version.

Gee.... I wonder how the Epic boss battles worked in GoW 1 & 2 not to mention ICO and whatever else on the PS2.... poor Wii for not being able to handle such a task.

I forgot about that, but I can imagine the developer for the game thinking that the wii is inferior enough to not be able to handle such boss battles.

Apparently Darth Vader is going to clone Starkiller on Kamino and engineer him to more servile towards him and the Emperor. Starkiller's old memories begin to manifest and he eventually turns on Vader again and teams up with his allies. So the old Starkiller could be called Big Bosskiller and the clone is Solid Starkiller along with a rival called Liquid Starkiller. I see where this series is going.

You had a somewhat believable premise to me until you started dropping Metal Gear names...
