Pokemon fans, listen up! You now have the chance to catch your very own Zoroark!

This is uber exciting ‘cos you can’t usually catch a Zoroark in normal gameplay. So before October 16, you should rock in to a speciality store to get one! Click here to find the closest one to you.

The Level 50 Zoroark is pretty special – it knows the exclusive Snarl move and it comes in a Cherish Ball. So cool.

You’ll need to take along your DS and your copy of Pokemon Black Version or Pokemon White Version… so don’t forget! Get gaming, MANIACS!

A New Rayman Adventure!

August 24th, 2011 by Ange | No Comments | Leave a comment | Filed in Games |

Hey MANIACS!

Rayman Origins is heading your way very soon! If you haven’t already, check out the trailer!

In Origins, Rayman gamers will get the chance to play in both single player and multiplayer modes as Rayman, Glowbox and two Teensies, as they navigate through 60 different levels and 12 different environments collecting objects and fighting enemies as they go.

The story will explain a lot of niggling questions you might have about the franchise by looking at the very beginning of Rayman. It’s set in the Glade of Dreams, a realm created by a creature known as the Bubble Dreamer, whose nightmares are beginning to mess up the harmonious world by turning good things bad.  Rayman and gang are tasked with stopping what’s going on and returning things to order.

From what we’ve seen in the trailer we’re guessing there will be plenty of LOL moments to look forward to!

KIRBY’S NEW ADVENTURE!

July 21st, 2011 by Dom | No Comments | Leave a comment | Filed in Games |

Kirby’s Epic Yarn is one of our favourite games this year. We love how he gets sucked into a world made of fabric and becomes like a piece of thread – we just never get tired of unzipping backgrounds and using our thread to swing up onto ledges, it’s fun to the MAX!

But now the time has come for us to finish the game as fast as we can because another AWSM Kirby game is on the horizon! From what we’ve seen in the trailer for the new game, which will just be called Kirby, it looks a lot like the classic Kirby games before Epic Yarn!

This time an alien spacecraft has crashed in the land of Pop Star and its pieces are scattered throughout the land. You Kirby have to find all the ships’ parts and help the aliens return to their home planet.

The game will feature a whole lot of new abilities for Kirby, like a sword, energy beam, whip and whirlwind made of leaves AND you’ll get ‘Super Abilities’ too which will be activated when Kirby inhales some types of enemy characters! Sounds great doesn’t it? We’re so excited for its release later this year! Check out the trailer now and keep reading MANIA for more Kirby updates!

Hey MANIACS!

This week we got to have a play of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D on Nintendo 3DS and we liked it!  It’s a remake of an old Nintendo 64 version which was really popular, but with much better graphics and played in 3D! There are some new gameplay features that we think you’re going to love. Check out the trailer!

Take flight with Green Lantern!

April 19th, 2011 by Ange | No Comments | Leave a comment | Filed in Games |

Hey MANIACS!

Check out the trailer for the new Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters video game!  The character model for Hal Jordan looks a lot like Ryan Reynolds, who plays the Lantern in the film – the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions have his voice too, so expect an authentic cinematic experience! We’re really pumped to try his awesome powers. We hear you get to use a “Power Ring” that lets you conjure a whole bunch of “hard-light” weapons to use on your enemies – including a gatling gun, giant fists and maybe even a fighter jet!? You can fly too!


The game releases for XBox 360, Wii, PS3, Nintendo DS, and 3DS on June 15. That’s just in time for the new Green Lantern movie out June 16! Be sure to stay tuned to MANIA for more updates!
