This is it! The final two variants to Ramathorr, the Elephant swordsman have finally been revealed to complete the Anitherian Nine set.

SSejjhhorr and Ggruxx have stood to oppose Ramathorr and his Anitherian Guard. Hailing from the Mutant kingdom, these two figures feature an all new head sculpt and come with two battle axes and faux fur loin cloths.

The green Ggruxx will be an exclusive to ToyRocket, while the red SSejjhhorr will be an exclusive to Figures.com. Each site selling a variant from the set has set their own price point and production number for the figure. All are sure to be limited in quantity though.

Ggruxx:

 

Crowinghorse from figures.com mentioned on the FANtastic Forums that they had about 550 Ssejjhhorr’s made. That will probably be on the high end of production numbers for any of the exclusives, with the exception of Ramathorr.

Ssejjhhorr:

The new game from Riddick developer Starbreeze will be out very soon, and I cannot wait. It based on the comic The Darkness, and aside from the usual FPS antics I’ve grown to enjoy, it employs a mechanic where in the player gains demonic powers when stepping out of the light. Fantastic. The voices for those demons are provided by Mike Patton, best known as the singer for Faith No More.

The Darkness on Xbox 360 and PS3 will be out June 25.

The movie is on its way and the figures have just come out. I wanted to share with you a figure I was very excited about and this is it.

Apologies for the long run time. I didn’t add anything beyond the scope of the figure, it just has a complex transformation that takes a bit.

Released during the midst of the fighting game craze of the mid-90s, this game went largely overlooked due to the fact that so many other games came out during the time. Shame too, as it attempted to set itself apart from the many Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat clones of the era with it’s storyline and unique combat system, which was based off real fighting styles more so than other 2-d fighting games.

Constant re-releases of Street Fighter 2 notwithstanding, Capcom shows us how to do a remake the right way. (Check Maverick Hunter X and the Gamecube Resident Evil for proof.) With that said, what better game to remake than the beginning of one of the most classic and recognizable franchises in gaming? Mega Man Powered Up is a remaking of the original NES Mega Man, complete with new polygonal graphics, a remixed soundtrack, two new boss characters, and even a level editor! Players can either play in original mode (the original Mega Man with new graphics) or remixed mode, which adds in new bosses, different level layouts (even the old weapons won’t work on who they originally worked on), different item placements, and the ability to play as the bosses. There are also several unlockables to be found, and when you get tired, you can create your own stages in the level editor and upload them online. If you can get past the ultra-cutesy look, you’ll find the ultimate update to one of the greatest games in history.

Just a quick little weekend update for your gaming cravings. Bungie Entertainment and Microsoft have released the official box art for the highly anticipated Halo 3 game, slated for release in September. Ravenous fanboys can breath a sign of relief now, for gazing upon it’s cover is the next step between now and the game hitting the shelves. Master Chief, we salute thee.

It may be just me, but for such a highly waited-for game that fanboys have been drooling over since Halo 2 came out, the cover art seems a wee bit….anticlimatic to me. Of course, that’s just me, and I’m just a silly gamer girl who doesn’t know quality, right?

The rest of you can continue salivating now.

Apologies if it seems a bit over edited. Remember to check out the show notes after the jump for more information not in the video!
