The Badass From Space, Poke-Peeps!

The latest Wi-Fi event for the Pokemon Black 2 and White 2 games is officially live and ready for all English Language games.

The Legendary Deoxys has been released and this will be the first time, without trading or hacking, that you will be able to get it on Black and White 2. Not only do you get the Pokemon but you get it at Level 100 and with a few awesome moves too, not to mention a special item.

Deoxys, Level 100, comes with the moves; Nasty Plot, Dark Pulse, Recover and Psycho Boost which is great considering it’s a psychic type. The item that it is holding is the Life Orb which boosts an attacks power by 30% yet takes 10% of health away which is actually not too bad since Deoxys is powerful enough to take out a great deal of enemies with haste. It’s ability, like most of the Legendary Pokemon, is Pressure which effects the PP of the enemy. If that’s not enough it also comes in it’s very own Dusk Ball which, while having no actual effect, looks pretty cool when throwing it out to battle. You can also take advantage of all of Deoxys Forms by taking it to Nacrene City that way it can fit in with any team structure you could have.

As you can see this beast of a Pokemon would make a great addition to any team and is ready for a fight as soon as you get it.

To participate in the Deoxys character distribution event via the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service, players will need:

  • Wireless broadband Internet access
  • A Nintendo DS, Nintendo DSi, Nintendo DSi XL, Nintendo 3DS, or Nintendo 3DS XL system
  • A copy of the Pokémon Black 2 or Pokémon White 2 game
  • No more than 11 Wonder Cards in their possession

This Event runs until the 31st of May so go grab it now before it takes off back into space once again!

MotoGP-13-Screen-01

Developer Milestone Studios and publisher PQube have released a new gameplay trailer for MotoGP 13 that showcases the Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix circuit for the first time. You can view the video at the very bottom of this article.

Some background on the circuit;

MotoGP returned to the US for the first time in 10 years for the Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix at Laguna Seca in July 2005, with a fairy-tale first GP win for American Nicky Hayden. The Californian track played host to Grand Prix events from 1988 to 1994 but advancements in MotoGP racing machines required the event to be moved elsewhere while the track was modified and adapted to meet present day safety requirements.

MotoGp 13 will be out for the Xbox 360, PC, PlayStation 3 and PS Vita this June. You can pre-order the racer here.

New Wolfenstein Title Announced

wolfenstein-the-new-order-logo-001

Bethesda has just recently released details on their latest project. That Project? Wolfenstein: The New Order.

The Wolfenstein franchise has a fairly strong legacy behind it. The first memorable game in the Wolfenstein franchise is the game Wolfenstein 3D, which many attribute to be the pioneer of 3D gaming in general. From there, there was a potential sequel, Rise of the Triad, but this was quickly turned into its own game. From there, the next notable game was Return to Castle Wolfenstein, by Raven Software.

This brings us to the current Wolfenstein game, Wolfenstein: The New Order. This retelling of the story is by developer MachineGames, who claim to be massive fans of the franchise. To quote the Press Release:

“We are excited to bring a new chapter of Wolfenstein to gamers everywhere,” said Jens Matthies, creative director at MachineGames. “As fans of the series, working on this game is an honor, and our team is driven to create an unforgettable action-adventure experience that will make FPS fans proud.”

Real-time strategy title Wargame: AirLand Battle is currently in its early access Beta phase. As of now players have a new mode to play in, an impressive 10 versus 10 mode that promises some of the biggest battles yet.

The latest update to the Beta also added the Army Deck system, allowing players to customise their armies for specialties such as airborne attacks, armoured assaults, motorised infantry or simply securing supply lines. In a 10-man RTS match, these combinations and the possible strategies boggle the mind.

Developed by Eugen Systems, Wargame: AirLand Battle is the successor to 2012’s European Escalation. This line of games combines military strategy with very cinematic gameplay, continuing on from where the likes of World in Conflict left off with more detail and jargon than an armchair general can poke at.

Check out a tremendous 10v10 battle below. Any of you RTS fans pick this up? Let us know!

Saints-Row-4-Artwork

“In a time of national crisis, we need a Commander-in-Chief willing to kick politics…right in the BALLS!” I think that phrase applies to real-life too, or at least it should. In Saints Row IV, YOU are the President of ‘Merica, and you have the power; multiple SUPER-powers, that is.

Deep Silver and Volition have just mandated that you watch the latest trailer for Saints Row IV, which can be viewed at the very bottom of this article. The awesome video showcases your ability to kick alien ass, as you lead the charge against the invading Zin. Your super-powers, as well as your accuracy in delivering the perfect nut-shot, are second to none it seems.

Saints Row IV comes out August 20th in ‘Merica and August 23rd worldwide. Check out the Commander-in-Chief Edition, which you will be upgraded to for simply pre-ordering the title.
