Again,Star Wars 1313 has no confirmed release date or platform. When Broken Joysticks knows, you will know! So stay tuned here for more information as it becomes available.

New Mythical Pokémon Keldeo Coming To EB Games

Posted on August 25, 2012 by Les Major

Nintendo is adding a new Pokémon to the Black and White series. Named Keldeo, this is a Water-type Pokémon that cannot be caught in the game. Rather players will be able to bring their DS or 3DS systems and a copy of Pokémon Black or Pokmon White to their local EB Games and collect it there. Keldeo is noted to excel at super effective moves against seven different Pokémon types: Normal, Fire, Ice, Ground, Rock, Dark, and Steel. However, Keldeo becomes even better when transferred to either Pokémon Black 2 or Pokémon White 2.

Not only will trainers be able to transform Keldeo into a new form when transferred to the new game, but they will also be able to play out a scenario based on this event. When transferred, Keldeo learns ‘Secret Sword’ and transforms into Resolute Form, a new look that features a more porminent horn on it’s head. Because Keldeo can learn this fighting-type move at the very first stages of the sequel, it makes it a powerful ally to add to your team.

Mists of Pandaria’s Pet Battle System Details

Posted on August 25, 2012 by Les Major

Though it is very much a Pokémon system for WOW, I’m very eager to get into the Mists of Pandaria Pet Battle System. For those unfamiliar with the concept, the pet battle system takes your collectable yet non-combat companions and turns them into characters you can level up, teach skills to, and even hunt in the wild to add to your collection!

So instead of just buying or finding pets as item drops, you can now encounter and capture pets in the wild. I’m excited for this. The main story to Pandaria sounds wonderful to me and I’m eager to enjoy that new WOW content, but the pet battle system sounds like a bonus game that comes with the universe you’ve already come to know and love. It’s there for those who want to finally name that hard earned rare drop pet and turn it into a high level champion of this new system. Read on for more details Read More

343 Industries & Microsoft Games Studios have released a brand new live action trailer for Halo 4 titled Forward On To Dawn: Enlist. Get ready to follow the initiation of several UNSC foot soldiers preparing to battle insurrections. The insurrection is an even in the Halo fiction that takes place between groups of USNC soldiers and organized rebels in Earth’s outer colonies between 2493 and 2537.

The events of the insurrection where a point of regret, as well as a rallying cry for the USNC forces during the Human-Covenant war. By making the extended Halo universe the central focus of the viral marketing 343 is giving a huge nod to longtime Halo fans. Even though Bungie has moved on from the series their dedication to the Halo universe and its fans seemed to have rubbed off on 343 and Microsoft games studios.
