Each of the three companies below will have three waves of content that will be given to early pre-orderers of the game and the list can be seen below along with an image of each pack.

Halo 4 Terminal: Jul ‘Mdama Revealed

While at Comic-con in San Diego earlier this year, 343 Industries revealed that terminals will be returning for Halo 4. They have just released the first terminal for the game and it acts as a prologue of the Covenant’s role in the game.

Titled “Jul ‘Mdama,” you get to hear about why the Covenant is heading towards the mysterious planet Requiem. The greatest part about the terminal is probably the fact that they reveal that there are still some Forerunners left in the universe. Also, unlike the terminals in Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, the Sanghelli actually speak in their natural language and that adds more depth to the terminals.

You will be able to watch this terminal and all the other ones when Halo 4 launches exclusively on the Xbox 360 on November 6, 2012.

Many of you may not have heard about Sword of Rapier before thanks to the fact that it was simply a Windows Phone 7 and Xbox Live Indie Game from Japanese studio vDog. However that is all about to change thanks to the fact that the developer of the game has come out on Twitter and said that he is working on bringing Sword of Rapier to the PlayStation Vita.

In response to a fan on Twitter he stated “I’m making SofR for Vita now. Don’t Miss It!” Currently the only gameplay footage is from the already released Windows Phone 7 version, which can be seen below. As for the game itself, the story follows a young woman named Katharine who has lost her memory and is being chased by soldiers. While the game does appear a bit basic from the trailer, it is worth noting that the Vita version may look better and it is always good to see another digital Vita game in development.

Looking for a new app that has the right mix of cute and colourful? Well you’re in luck because indie developer Alex Vlaskin has released Bebee the bee, a free game where kids (or adults) can help Bebee collect nectar and pollen from 8 different kinds of colorful flowers. You explore the map, avoiding obstacles, pollinating flowers, dealing with deadly wasps by either fight or flight, and reaching a quota for nectar and pollen.

There are 14 challenging levels to fly through (including bonus and special levels), five different types of enemies, eight different flowers, and five animations celebrating your wins.

You can either use gesture controls, or if that’s too new tech for you, then you can use a button system. Bebee is aimed at an audience of younger kids (but don’t let that stop you), and was quite popular with kids at the EB Expo 2012. So if you’re looking for something to keep the kids quiet during a road trip or waiting room, then you should definitely look at getting this app.

Check out the trailer for the game below!

BeBee the bee is available on the iPad for FREE – Get it HERE
