Nintendo HD

Well, it looks like that there have been rumors floating around the internet about Nintendo's new HD console and its supposedly reveal date is to be E3 this summer. Along with that, there are rumors saying it's controllers that will have a built in HD screen.

I found this all out on GameInformer, if you're interested in a more depth article go check it out. It talks about the HD Console itself and the controllers.

Portal 2

 
A couple of days ago www.aperturescience.com showed a countdown for Portal 2, now that countdown has changed. First a message is typed out from what seems to be our beloved GLaDOS:

09:00 – Hello again.
09:00 – I’ve been waiting a long time for this.
09:00 – I know it’s arriving later than expected.
09:00 – But I have a message for you:
09:00 – April Fools.
09:01 – I’m joking.
09:01 – Seriously, though:
09:01 – You’ve been surprisingly competent at
09:01 – generating electro-chemical energy to jumpstart the system.
09:01 – But now we need raw computational power
09:02 – to speed up the reboot process.

After awhile, the page changes into this:

On this changed site, Steam is keeping track of the Potato Sack games and it seems like if a certain amount of players buy the pack or play the games, Valve will release Portal 2 early.

If this is true, then that will be a first for Valve since they always aren't always the most reliable when it comes to their releases. I can't wait for the more secrets they will have in Portal 2 and their files, hell, I can't wait for the game itself. Too bad I have to wait awhile to actually get it, wish I could though.

Make sure to keep checking the website to see if Valve changes everything, I'm going to be keeping a tab on it.

Nintendo Release Dates

While scrolling through GameInformer, I found a list that Nintendo released giving release dates for the Wii, DS and 3DS for the next few months. The only noticeable game for the 3DS is Ocarina of Time, other than that there's nothing good for it yet.

Hell, nothing good is really coming out for Nintendo's consoles any time soon, Conduit 2 and OoT are the only ones that catch my eye.

Secret Pokemon Egg at Toys 'R' Us

The Pokemon Company has announced today that there will be a special even at Toys 'R' Us from April 27^th to May 31^st for your copy of Pokemon. The egg is to contain a Pokemon that one of the main characters (Ash, Iris and Cilan) in the show have. So it can be a Axew, or maybe a Pidove or either a Pansage. No one is sure if it will be a regular Pokemon or one with some special stats.

So make sure to go down to your nearest Toys 'R' Us and pick up your mystery egg. I know I will, it gives me an excuse to go shopping for myself.

Cloak and Dagger Miniseries

I totally forgot about this, but a couple of days ago, Marvel has announced a new miniseries featuring the dynamic duo Cloak and Dagger. There's no set release date, but this could be pretty good. Cloak and Dagger mainly make small appearances in other comics and don't really have a big comic publication.

Cloak and Dagger will be written by Nick Spencer, who is currently writing on Iron Man 2.0, which is pretty good. I'm liking Iron Man 2.0, so I'm sure I would enjoy this miniseries.

Mass Effect Anime

EA has announced this morning that they will be working with Funimation in order to create a Mass Effect anime. According to their press release, "the anime video will tell the tale of an epic science fiction adventure set in a vast universe filled with dangerous alien life and mysterious, uncharted planets." It seems like that the anime won't feature Sheperd and his gang, instead it will show other life forms. I enjoy that EA and Bioware has made expansions outside of the games. Either way, I'm pretty excited about this and want to see if any Turians will have any exciting roles.

Also, make sure to get your hands on the May edition of GameInformer for 12 pages of exclusive information on Mass Effect 3.

Fear Itself First Thought

Fear Itself has been released today, and I just finished reading book one, and I have to say that this is going to be an excellent event. You've got Sin, Red Skull's daughter, picking up a hammer like Mjolnir and Odin leading the God's out of Midgard back to Asgard.

I believed that Civil War and Seige were the best events Marvel has had, and Fear Itself might beat it by the looks of it. I really can't wait till next month to get Book 2 and find out who the Worthy are. I highly recommend any comic book reader to get this. Best part of the comic was this here:

It wasn't an all out brawl between Thor and Odin, but nontheless it was incredible and made me wanting more.

I'm not sure if the Watcher will have a role in the upcoming books, but he does make a cameo in Book One.

Gang Garrison 2

Looking around today, I've stumbled upon an 8-bit version of Team Fortress 2. And it's pretty nice and entertaining for it being free, and it's not just free, it's an online game. It's pretty much just like TF2 but with just extremely toned down graphics. What I like about it is that it has all 9 classes and they do what they're suppose to do. You've got the medic with his medigun and the airblasting Pyro.

If you're interested in Gang Garrison 2, then head over there and download it.

Spider-Man: Edge of Time Trailer

A few days after it's announcement, Beenox has thrown out a teaser trailer for us. It still looks good, I want my hands on it. I really like how it's bringing a non well known Spidey as a main character. Usually it's just the 616 Wall Crawler or Ultimat.

Booster Gold and Blue Beetle in Smallville

I just found out that Booster Gold and Blue Beetle (looks like Jaime Reyes) will be appearing in an upcoming Smallville episode. I have never really watched Smallville, besides about 3-5 episodes, and they were really bad in my opinion (especially the Justice League episode). So I don't know if they will butcher the dynamic duo or what, considering the episodes I've watched seemed to be poorly written. I might tune in to this episode though on April 22^nd.

The costumes though, could've been done way better. I don't know if it's just the picture of what, but Jaime's suit looks pretty clunky. Booster Gold's costume looks like it could be slightly better. I just hope they write them right.

Spider-Man: Edge of Time

This fall Beenox, the developers of Shattered Dimensions, and Activision are bringing back Spider-Man in their newest installment. Spider-Man 2099 is also involved in this story. And by the name of the title, we can conclude that Edge of Time will focus on time traveling.

Beenox states that they "Want to create a totally distinct experience in Spider-Man: Edge of Time." So it looks like they are going to spice things up a bit, and hopefully it will be good and not bad.

Either way, I can't wait to get my hands on it. Shattered Dimensions was excellent, and I have high expectations for Edge of Time now.

New Wonder Woman Costume Thanks To Fans

NBC has decided to change Wonder Woman's costume in their upcoming Wonder Woman t.v. show. At first, I had no problem with her costume, but I am really enjoying this new get up. It looks like they got rid of the "cheesy" looking pants Android upgraded them to something non Party City looking. Kudos to both NBC and DC for listening to their fans.
