Love Forza Motorsport? Can’t wait to hit the road with the upcoming Forza Horizon game? Well perhaps this news will be of interest to you. Microsoft Studios have revealed details of the VIP membership program for Forza Horizon.

The VIP membership program for Forza Horizon is set to provide players with an unprecented amount of exclusive content to get their hands on. The exclusive content was outlined in Turn10 Studios press release:

2012 Audi R8 GT Spyder — Going topless in an all-wheel drive super car might be illegal in some places, but just try and catch this culprit. The R8 GT Spyder has enough power and traction to leave nothing but the brief memory of its taillights in the mind of anyone trying to match its pace.
· 2011 Koenigsegg Agera — The Agera is one of the most interesting of the current breed of hypercar. It certainly has the requisite manic power numbers courtesy of a 940 horsepower twin-turbo 5-liter V8. With a top speed of greater than 260 mph and a sub-three-second 0-60 mph time, no one can deny its performance.
· 2011 Lamborghini Sesto Elemento — Faceted like a cut diamond, there’s no mistaking the Sesto Elemento for anything else on the road—even other Lamborghinis. Sesto elemento is Italian for “sixth element;” aka carbon, a not-so-subtle hint that the body is composed entirely of carbon fiber.
· 2012 Pagani Huayra — When one thinks of Pagani cars, it’s natural to think of craftsmanship, performance, and a platonic ideal of automotive beauty. The Huayra has been a long time in the making as designer Horacio Pagani began work on the car in 2003. But, like all works of art—automotive or otherwise—true beauty takes time.
2011 RUF Rt 12 R — Starting with the traditional 911 body-in-white, RUF completely rebuilds or replaces the rest of the componentry, and the result is stunning—730 horsepower and 693 ft-lbs. of torque, enough to rival all but the most extreme supercars. While the R can do things that few cars can equal, it does so precisely and without drama; a skilled driver can use this car as a finely tuned racing tool.

In addition, “Forza Horizon” VIP members will receive the following benefits:
· Special recognition in the community as a VIP member with VIP icon affixed to their Gamertag in “Forza Horizon”
· VIP Rivals Mode Events: VIP members will have access to exclusive Rivals Mode events in “Forza Horizon”

· Expanded Storefront: VIP members receive extra slots for things like photos, liveries, videos, etc.
· Expanded MyForza Gallery Space: VIP’s can store an additional two videos and/or Big Shot images in their MyForza Gallery on www.forzamotorsport.net

“Forza Horizon” Limited Collector’s Edition is Instant VIP: You can get your VIP membership by purchasing the Limited Collector’s Edition of “Forza Horizon,” available starting on Oct. 23. “Forza Horizon” Limited Collector’s Edition owners will also receive these benefits:
· Custom-designed Steelbook™ packaging

· Day 1 Add-on Pack with five cars (more details to come soon)
· Horizon Accelerator Token Pack

As you can see that is quite a great deal of exclusive content for VIP members of Forza Horizon. As mentioned in the press release, in order to get the VIP membership you simply need to get the Limited Collector’s Edition of Forza Horizon and you will get Instant Access to the VIP content.

In a series of twitter announcements, the Doctor Who twitter, BBC America Twitter, and ABC twitter have announced their respective air dates for this much awaited first episode of the Series 7.

In conjunction with the premier of Series 7, the BBC is also releasing a series of web adventures titled “Pond Life” to premier online on August 28. It is a 5 part adventure with The Doctor, Amy Pond, and Rory Williams, and will be tiered throughout the week daily, counting down to the UK Series 7 premier.
Denizens of Australia, I hope you can stay away from the internet for a week as you wait for Asylum of the Daleks to air on ABC1.

Keldeo Event Coming to Pokemon Black and White

It’s yet again time for another Pokemon event, and this one is to get the legendary Keldeo. Beginning September 15th, players can download Keldeo at participating EB Games/Gamestop and Target locations to their copies of Pokemon Black & White. This particular Keldeo will also be able to be transferred into Pokémon Black Version 2 or Pokémon White Version 2, where it will be able to change into a new form and learn a new technique.

Check out the details for Keldeo below, and you can find a link of participating locations here.

 

Because the Colt Pokémon cannot be found during normal gameplay, this distribution is the only way Pokémon players can receive it at this time. During the distribution period, 15th September through 10th October, Pokémon fans can bring their handheld console from the Nintendo DS® or Nintendo 3DS™ family of systems and a copy of Pokémon Black Version or Pokémon White Version to selected EB Games and Target stores and receive a Keldeo that knows Aqua Jet, Leer, Double Kick, and BubbleBeam. As a Fighting- and Water-type Pokémon, Keldeo excels at moves that are super effective against seven different Pokémon types: Normal, Fire, Ice, Ground, Rock, Dark, and Steel.

Powerful in its own right, when transferred into Pokémon Black Version 2 or Pokémon White Version 2, Keldeo can learn its signature move, Secret Sword, and transform into Resolute Form, a new look that features a more prominent horn on its head. Secret Sword is a Fighting-type move, well suited to Keldeo’s high Special Attack stat. Because Keldeo can learn this move from the very first stages of Pokémon Black Version 2 or Pokémon White Version 2, it will be a powerful ally as you continue your adventure.

Nintendo Power Shutting down this December

It’s always a sad day when a major magazine closes, but this time things are even more somber as the long running publication Nintendo Power will be ending in December. Nintendo announced the news earlier today via their Facebook page, and gave a brief statement.

We can confirm that the December issue of Nintendo Power will be its last. To celebrate Nintendo Power’s long history, please share a memory or favorite story. For Nintendo Power subscription inquiries, please visit nintendopower.com/customerservice.

Some could say that the quality of the magazine has been a bit on the decline in recent years, but we all know that the real reason for the end has to do with the digital revolution. We all seen it coming, but it’s still a sad thought that the next generation of gamers won’t get that joy of Mario coming to their mailbox each month.

NIS America revealed some unfortunate news today for fans of their upcoming Mugen Souls title. It seems that Chou-Chou is going to have at least another month to rehearse her world conquest in North America, because the title has been delayed for one month in that region.

Due to “schedule adjustments” Mugen Souls will now be released in North America on October 16th instead of September 18th. This means that those of you in Europe will actually be getting the title first, as the release for your region is still coming on September 28th. While this delay is unfortunate, those interested in learning a bit more about some of what Mugen Souls will have to offer can check out our E3 preview of the game here.

It was announced today by Microsoft, 343 Industries, and 7Hz Productions that the Halo 4 soundtrack by composer Neil Davidge (Massive Attack) will be available October 22, 2012. The Halo 4 soundtrack, which will cost $14, features 15 tracks and over 75 minutes of music. They also said:

“It marks the first time a new composer has taken the reins for the iconic series’ musical score since the launch of the original “Halo” game more than a decade ago.”

Each Halo 4 Special Edition 2-Disc set is individually numbered, and will include the Halo 4 Remix Album, produced by Davidge in tandem with fourteen of the world’s most renowned electronica producers and artists, including DJ Skee, Sander Van Doorn, Gui Boratto, Caspa, Apocalyptica, Hundred Waters, and many more.

Neil Davidge stated the following:

“It was an honor to compose and produce the ‘Halo 4’ score. I am so proud of the way the OST has turned out and to have had the opportunity to evolve the great legacy of ‘Halo’ music. To be able to then collaborate with these talented DJ’s and musicians on various remixes was a real bonus as it is always fun and interesting to see how others interpret and re-imagine what you have created.”

If you are an avid collector of the Halo universe then you will be able to pick up a limited edition of the soundtrack for $75 and it will include a behind the scenes video on making the music of Halo 4, an exclusive hardcover book about making the music for Halo 4, a signed art print, and much more!

You can pick up the official soundtrack and the remixed version of the soundtrack when it releases on October 22, 2012.
