So if this simulation is anything to go by, expect the Lions to obliterate the opposition during tomorrow’s match. Rugby Challenge 2: The Lions Tour Edition features the official licensed British & Irish Lions 2013 Tour of Australia campaign, the first match of which was used to make the prediction.
This just in Meatbags, BioWare’s 2003 RPG classic Star Wars: Knight of the Old Republic has made its way on to the iPad and is available to download right now from the App Store. All thanks to a port by Aspyr, the same company who ported the game over to Mac last year.
Star Wars: Knight of the Old Republic (or KoTOR as it become known as) is highly regarded as one of the best Star Wars games ever made, as well as one of the best RPGs ever made.
Originally released for the Xbox in 2003, Knights of the Old Republic quickly won over fans worldwide and critical acclaim for its rich character driven narrative, innovative player choice morality system, and turn-based combat system. Not to mention, even making it on our 100 games you must play before you die list.
Set in the Old Republic, 4,000 years before the events of the Star Wars movies, KoTOR follows the struggle between the Sith and Jedi in a desperate struggle for the galaxy’s fate. The game was so popular and successful that it spawned two sequel in the form of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II – The Sith Lords in 2005 and an MMORPG in 2011 Star Wars: The Old Republic
The force is strong with this one with over 30+ hours of gameplay, and all for a price of AU$10.49 from the App Store.

The third installment of the action–adventure franchise The Expendables, that follows the exploits of Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone), Lee Christmas, and their associates, is rumored to have a crazy amount of action movie stars making their return or first time appearances. So far all we have are a whole bunch of rumors and speculation on who will be returning and who will be joining in on the action packed rollercoaster ride full of thrills, kills, explosions and non stop action.
Who will be the bad guy? Chan, Snipes, Cage or Jovovich?
Well, we all know that Stallone will be back as he’s co-writing the film and will be leading his team of Expendables once again, but who will be joining his team and who will be opposing them? So far the rumors are that the following four action celebrities could be 90% locked in: Jacky Chan, Wesley Snipes, Nicolas Cage and Milla Jovovich – star of the Resident Evil Series. These four celebrities are currently negotiating contracts for the their roles in the film. What we’ve also heard is that from one of these four celebrities just mentioned, we’ll have our “Bad Guy” that will lead the charge against the Expendables… Who could that be? Our money is going on Nicolas Cage.
A whole lot of other celebrities have also been rumored to make their return or first time appearances such as Jean Claude Van Damme from The Expendables 2, Steven Segal, Hulk Hogan, Mickey Rouke, Jet Li, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, Bruce Willis, Chuck Norris and Arnold Schwarzenegger. But at the moment these are just rumors and there’s no cold hard concrete evidence just yet. We’ll all have to wait and see as time goes by and more information is released/leaked out to the public.

Japanese bullet-hell shoot-em-upMamorukun Curse! is coming to the North American PlayStation Network for the PS3 on July 16, courtesy of UFO Interactive Games.
Developed by G.rev Ltd and Gulti, this top-down, vertical scrolling shooter follows Mamorukun and several other Chosen Souls who have been plucked from the realm of the Living and tosses into the Netherworld. They must then restore balance to the Netherworld and stop the World of Darkness from taking over.
There’s a choice of seven different characters, each with different gameplay mechanics. Here’s a list of the stack of features:
3 exciting game play modes: Netherworld Action Mode, Arcade Mode, and Story Mode

Mamorukun Curse! will be priced at US$19.99. Check out the screens and announcement trailer below, and follow the publisher’s Facebook and Twitter pages for more info.
