Well it has been announced by Viz Media that they will begin showing Naruto: Shippuden on Adult Swim’s Toonami starting on January 2014. These episodes will be shown in English and will be the uncensored version of the show. As for the current basic Naruto, it will be removed from the Toonami line-up on November 30th.

Today Namco Bandai has released some new screenshots for Soulcalibur: Lost Swords, their upcoming free-to-play fighting game for the PlayStation 3 which will feature micro-transactions. These screenshots also introduce the new “Soul Break,” weapon arts, and support character system that have been added to this game.

When the player sees a red glow appear around the enemy, they can unleash an attack that will do major damage to “Soul Break” the opponent by smashing apart their armor. Not only does smashing armor do more damage to the enemy, but it also gives the player a chance at acquiring an item from the defeated enemy.

It is also possible to switch out characters on the fly through a support system, though these are only available for temporary use.

Garfield Kart is now available to own on your iOS and Android devices at a price cheaper than a serving of lasagne! Garfield and 7 of his friends, including fan favourites such as Garfield’s canine sidekick Odie and his owner Jon, will hit the track to race one another in this latest kart racing game. As with any license based kart racer, the game features a bunch of crazy powerups that you can use to knock your opponents off the track or boost your own karts abilities.
