Let’s face it, who doesn’t want their very own Pokédex? Well good news, The Pokémon Company has official released a Pokédex app for the iOS.

If you have a iPhone, iPad, iPad mini, or iPod touch you can access and take an in-depth look at 640 Pokémon that currently exist, or have been discovered…so far.

The Pokédex for iOS features a ton of information on Pokémon such as where specific Pokémon are found, and which types of attacks an individual Pokémon is weak against.

While the Pokédex features all 640 Pokémon, to gain access to all of them you’ll have to purchase the full National Pokédex…individually…for $5.99 USD each.

The Unova Pokédex (National Pokédex No. 494-647) is available on purchase, while each region’s Pokédex, Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh must be bought from the app’s store.

Quite a set back for pokefans but nonetheless, it’s all there if you want it. Pokédex for iOS is available to now for iOS devices for $1.99 from the App Store.

The Last of Us Multiplayer Mode Confirmed, Preorder Bonuses Detailed

The Last of Us will feature a multiplayer mode, Naughty Dog community strategist Arne Meyer has confirmed in a post on the PlayStation Blog. While he said that the company is “not quite ready” to talk about what exactly this will entail, further details will be shared before the Playstation 3 game’s May 7th release date.

Although Naughty Dog is not talking about specifics about the multiplayer mode for The Last of Us just yet, that’s not keeping the studio from revealing multiplayer-specific preorder bonuses. The first preorder bonus, available at “participating retailers,” is the Sights and Sounds Pack. This includes the official soundtrack for The Last of Us, a PS3 dynamic theme, and two avatars: Winter Joel and Winter Ellie.

For those who reserve The Last of Us specifically at GameStop, they will receive the Survival Pack, which includes bonus experience points, a melee attack booster, extra in-game cash, customizable items, and two bonus skins that can be unlocked after the single-player game is completed.

AC3: Tyranny of King Washington DLC Trailer

The Assassin’s Creed series hasn’t been one to shy away from DLC or even single player DLC, as that’s where the series first got started with it in Assassin’s Creed II with the additional semi-side sequences for Desmond and Ezio to explore.  After that and the addition of multiplayer, Ubisoft has tried to have at least a little of each type of DLC for players to experience should they be interested.  However, it was always a part of the bigger story, even  if it was a small part it never headed off to left field.  Until now.

Where once the Ubisoft team set the history books aside for a little bit to add a little flair to the game for the players to enjoy, with the upcoming release of the Assassin’s Creed III single player DLC, they throw it out the window.  “The Tyranny of King Washington” is based around the idea of real general George Washington opting for a monarchy in lieu of presidency and makes Connor have to deal with his former ally.

Players can check out the trailer embedded below to get a little glimpse of this “what if” scenario as well as Connor wearing some cool new duds with an animal companion, both looking thrilled to see their good friend George again.  Not really.  Sharpen your blades, prepare to end his tyranny.

Upcoming Mecha shooter HAWKEN is launching its Open Beta campaign in less than two days. At the time of writing the game has one day and sixteen hours until launch. What’s important about this is that the team behind the game have stated that you should be able to grab the game client early to ensure you make the most out of the Open Beta period before launch. However, their site has yet to have any links to the launcher just yet.

The team has promised server locations in each of the main regions of the world, ensuring that players have the smoothest ping possible. These include: US West, US East, UK, Asia North, Asia South, and Oceania.

If you’re a player that was participating in the Closed Beta, you will find that you will have lost your progress within the game. This is unless you have obtained items from the Vanguard Initiative.

Be sure to check out the news posting here. See you all on the Battlefield 😀

Tomorrow the PlayStation Network will receive its standard update and this time around two more games will be added to the Instant Game Collection for PlayStation Plus members. The two games happen to be a digital title named Rochard and a full retail title in the form of Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition. It is worth noting that last week PlayStation Plus members were able to download BioShock 2 for free as well.

Unfortunately this does mean that there still have been no new PlayStation Vita Plus offers since Sony launched the service on the handheld a few weeks ago, which may leave Vita owners with at least a few questions concerning future offerings.
