It's not true, Star Wars is a September release, it must have slipped past Anthony's fact checking, i've amended this.

The force must have abandoned me for a minute. 
But no, The Force Unleashed will be released on September 17.

Kung Fu Panda is not kiddy, I've played the Demo and its awesome, so fun. I mean I know people won't agree, but I would have more fun with Kung Fu Panda than Halo 3.
As a fan of platformers its good to see some good ones coming to the Xbox 360

There have been a few decent movie tie-ins in the past few years. Meet the Robinsons comes to mind, which if I recall correctly scored a 7.0 on PALGN, though the DS version didn't fair as well. Some critics also liked Robots.
I guess movie tie-ins will appeal to some people while others won't even take a second look at them. Also, coming from someone who's played more 'kid' games in the past year than he'd like to, many of them are quite fun in short bursts. I don't mind telling you that I actually got into High School Musical: Making the Cut. It had the same addictive nature as Elite Beat Agents, though the music tracks weren't as appealing and the difficulty was considerably less. While I never touched it again after getting the credits to roll and writing the review, it still kept me interested from beginning to end, and I could easily see anyone who loved High School Musical would enjoy the game. Other games I have been impressed by include Disney Friends and Horse Life, each one had some appealing feature about them which made them different and kept me interested.
Lets move on briefly to some of the more 'mature' movie tie-ins. I know people who hate and people who love the transformers, spider-man and pirates of the Caribbean videogames. It really comes down to how big a fan the individual is, and also their preferred genre. As zeldamario has stated, he seems to prefer platformers over FPS. Likewise, I'm sure someone who owns nearly every FPS on the 360/PS3 wouldn't be interested in games such as Kung Fu Panda or Ratchet and Clank (well, minus the blowing stuff up part).
While I'm not interested in Kung Fu Panda myself, if zeldamario has played the demo and enjoyed it, then he may like the final product. It's his choice, his money and his time, so I say let him be. What you may find to be a great game, whether it be Halo, Resident Evil or Super Mario Galaxy, more than likely there will be someone who hates it. Likewise, if you hate a particular game, there may be someone else who enjoys it. (hmm, that end bit doesn't work but you can gather what I'm trying to say)
