Today Nintendo revealed a new member of the Super Smash Bros. roster, well new being a relative term in this case, as it just so happens to be Kirby’s usual foe King Dedede. To go along with the announcement the company released a number of screenshots showing him in action in the Wii U version of the game and even tossed 3DS owners a bone with one image featuring Dedede with Peach and Zelda.

From the looks of things, King Dedede will continue to use his signature hammer and his facial expressions have certainly been reworked to make him more expressive.

Great news for all you WWE wrestling fans out there,  the Animal Batista will be making his in ring return to the WWE on Monday Night Raw on the 20th of January 2014 after signing a two year contract with the WWE.  Rumor has it that the four time World Heavyweight and two time WWE Champion Batista will start off feuding against Mexico’s greatest export, Alberto Del Rio.  Can we expect the Animal to go all the way to top of the WWE mountain once again? Only time will tell.

Bill-Goldberg

In other WWE news OR rumours, the WWE have offered Bill Goldberg one million dollars to make an appearance at this years’ Wrestlemania XXX (30).  As shown below, Goldberg has shot down this rumour by responding on his official twitter @goldberg that it’s not true.  Certainly a shame for wrestling fans as a match against current WWE super star Ryback, who is constantly mocked “Goldberg” by the fans each time he wrestles in the ring, would of been a great match to see.

What do you think will happen?  Will Batista Bastista Bomb his way to the top? Will Ryback face off against Goldberg at Wrestlemania XXX?  Let us know what you think in the comments section below Brotha!

Rambo The Video Game ‘Machine of War’ Trailer Released

Rambo-The-Video-Game-Machine-Of-War-Trailer

Rambo is one of those classic 80’s movie series that can’t be remade as a video game with just a lifelike main character – You’re going to need blood, fire, explosions, a badass headband and most importantly guns… Lots of guns. Reef Entertainment, the makers of the upcoming Rambo The Video Game, seem to know this better than anybody and their latest trailer proves it, featuring not only some of the most iconic moments from the Rambo franchise, but also enough carnage to make the real Vietnam War look like a puff of smoke.

Giving us a taste of both gameplay and cinematic cutscenes, the newest trailer follows our hero John Rambo storming a Vietnam prisoner of war camp using a variety of increasingly deadly weapons. He starts off by stalking his way through the jungle with just a bow and arrow and the next second he is raising hell on a truck-mounted machine gun turret, ripping through enemy soldiers like a knife through butter. Will this game live up to the name of its legendary source material? We’ll just have to wait and see.

Rambo The Video Game is expected to release on Xbox 360, PS3, and PC in early 2014. Pre-order now to get your hands on a limited edition figure of John Rambo himself with your game. Make sure to check out the new trailer below!
