    Here Comes The Pain! Brock Lesnar Confirmed for WWE ’12!

    Last night we brought you a report that Brock Lesnar would in fact be a featured Superstar in WWE ’12. Right on cue, THQ have now confirmed this with a new trailer featuring the “Vanilla Gorilla”.

    The clip shows some teasing at the start, with a bit of gameplay footage afterwards that shows Lesnar in action. This isn’t the same Brock we seen in “Here Comes The Pain” either, as his current UFC look (with the chest tattoo) is the one that will be featured within the game. If you are a WWE fan, this is pretty big news as Brock hasn’t even been spoken of in the WWE Universe for years due to leaving the company for his very successful UFC career. Check out the new clip below and get ready to do some F-5s, as WWE 12 launches November 22nd.

    Fullmetal Alchemist Movie to screen in 100+ North American Theaters

    U.S. Fullmetal Alchemist fans, rejoice! Funimation have teamed up with Eleven Arts in order to undertake a huge nationwide theater run for the latest Fullmetal Alchemist movie, Fullmetal Alchemist: The Sacred Star of Milos.

    The film is set to run in theaters this Winter, however specific dates and locations are still forthcoming. This is one of the quickest fast-tracking of an anime film from Japan to America in recent history, with the film only hitting Japanese theaters roughly 6 months before it hits the U.S.

    Funimation have also confirmed that they will be releasing the title on DVD and Blu-Ray in Spring 2012. Which isn’t too long a wait when considering it would have already been in theaters for your viewing pleasure.

    Xbox 360 320GB Hard Drive to Include Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars…

    Been needing some space for that Xbox 360 S? You are now in luck as Microsoft will be soon releasing the 320GB hard drives by themselves for the price of $129.99. As we all know, that is a lot of memory and it can take a while to fill such a large device. Microsoft have thought ahead on that though and will also include a download voucher for Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars with every new hard drive, which is a pretty decent value for those who went with the 4GB Slim back when it launched.

    No date has been given of when we will see these new bundles of sorts hit stores, but I would expect to see these out sometime during this holiday season.
