Pokemon Conquest and gamestop are teaming up to bring it this June

Pokemon Conquest is now incredibly close!  With a US release date of June 16th this game really snuck up since it's announcement earlier this year.  This strategy RPG will blend Pokemon with Nobunaga's ambition like it has never been done before in an all new Pokemon experience.  As the game draws near, some tasty morsels of information have come forth.

The first is a message on the official site, http://www.pokemonconquest.com/en-us/news, which talks about upcoming downloable episodes and content via Nintendo WFC.

The second is a pre-order announcement from Gamestop detailing a way to have ten Pokemon under your command from the start of the game.  If you pre-order by June 16th and pick up your game by June 26th you will gain access to Emolga, Lapras, Pikachu, Riolu and Scyther.  If you are a Power-Up member, you can cash in 1,000 points to gain access to another five: Axew, Beldum, Darmanitan, Larvitar, and Sneasel!

AWESOME!!

THQ Goes Hollywood with an amazing Metro Last Light Live Action Trailer

One of the highlights of last year's E3 is sure to make a big splash again this year.  THQ is warming us up for the upcoming post-apocalyptic thrill ride Metro: Last Light.  As the follow up to 2010's Metro 2033, you take on the role of a young survivor going out into a post nuclear war-torn Soviet Union.  This series is based on a novel by Russian author Dmitry Glukhovsky, and while not becoming a sales blockbuster, it garnered great reviews and a great cult following.  THQ seems to be pulling out all the stops for the 2013 follow up and has dazzled our eyes with this fantastic live action trailer.  Enjoy the show and prepare yourself for the terror that awaits deep under ground in Moscow.

Tell me what you want to see at E3 2012 and win

As I prepare for my next adventure into the wonderful world of E3 my mind races with the prospects of what amazing delights await.  Maybe some more hands on time with the Wii U, or a playable demo of Resident Evil 6, Darksiders II or Borderlands 2.  HALO 4 and Black Ops 2 will also surely be a huge draw.  It'll be exciting to see what will be new for the PSVita and if anything will be shown for the next generation of Xbox and Playstation.  With all the amazing possibilities ahead, I will need some help.  So what would you like to hear about this year?  What upcoming announcements have you in a froth?  Are you more excited about Nintendo, Playstation or Xbox this year?

Leaked Pokemon Black and White 2 Animated Trailer

Just leaked is the new fully animated Pokemon Black and White 2 trailer!  Sadly, it only depicts exsisting Pokemon and no new ones other than the Black and White versions of Kyurem.  The trailer does offer up some tantalizing action and some cool plot premises with lots of returning characters and locations, and of course, the insidious Team Plasma.  Get ready to return to Unova with this amazing trailer and see what events will transpire just two years after to conclusion of the last story.
