details are slowly being released since it’s that time of the month in Japan. First up is the news about the supposed new 5th generation Pokemon Crater that would be revealed in the 12th Pokemon movie. All the evidence seemed to lean that way at least, however it seems now that the supposed “new” Pokemon might just be Pichu. Remember the ear of the “new” Pokemon that we saw in the trailer? it looks to me like that “new” Pokemon is just a Pichu. Pichu is a small, yellow, electric-type Pokemon after all, which fits the description. Nothing has been confirmed though, so don’t get disappointed just yet.
We also have two rough translations of the 12th movie title: “Toward Conquering the Emptiness of Space-Time” and “Towards The Overcome’s Time Space”. And since Arceus is very likely to be in the movie, its name will probably be added to the title once he is announced, as they have done in the previous movies. CoroCoro also states that we will get new information on the 12th movie at Japan’s World Hobby Fair in late January. But that’s not all! A new Pokemon will be unveiled at the World Hobby Fair as well. That sounds to me like the hidden Pokemon in the trailer is Pichu, however we’re still getting a 5th generation Pokemon in the 12th movie which will be revealed in late January. (more…)
Prince of Persia
SINCE 1989 the Prince of Persia franchise has been enthralling video gamers everywhere with its blend of intense action, great graphics and immersive story lines.
Prince of Persia sticks to the formula of intense action, great graphics and immersive story lines but ups the artistic anteThe latest re-imagining of the series, simply titled Prince of Persia, sticks to this formula but ups the artistic ante.Prince of Persia looks phenomenal on the Xbox 360. The fluid graphics and soft colour palette may seem childlike, but they add to the mystique of the in-game environments and narrative.
Couple this with the engrossing storyline – another retelling of an epic battle between good and evil in mythological Persia – and the non-stop acrobatic action, and it’s possible this is the best of the Prince of Persia series. The only let down is its lack of puzzles, an abundance of which has been the hallmark of the series. The game’s ballet-style combat remains top-notch.
Fable II
THIS game takes place 500 years after the original, casting you in the role of a young male or female tasked with avenging your sibling’s death and awakening your inner hero.The richly detailed and vast world of Fable II is as impressive as the epic story that unfolds.
The game greatly expands the scope of the original Fable by adding countless customisable features that are open to hours of random manipulation.Feel like buying a house and moving in with the local wench? Go right ahead. How about dying your hair pink and walking around town naked? You can do that too, but be warned that the local constabulary might nab you for it.By far the most impressive customisation is your morality.Perform enough evil deeds and your appearance will transform you into a mean-looking hoodlum. Conversely, performing good deeds will render you a tall and dashing specimen of morality. (more…)
