We went on as we were on a mission, latest in a Grand Tradition
And oh, what did we find? It was Ego who was flying the banner, and me and Crazy, Sindra and Logan.
Oh, we’d been unkind

But do you believe in something beautiful?
Then get up and be it!

Sega’s Cyborg Justice for the Sega Genesis has in interesting premise: You (and a friend is playing co-op) can build a customizable cyborgs and pit him against an onslaught of enemy cyborgs. However, an interesting premise alone won’t help your game, especially if the gameplay is as dull, frustrating, and repetitive as it is in cyborg justice. You play as a human who has been transformed into a cyborg against their will. Now you must escape the cyborg’s planet, battling waves of identical looking cyborgs on the way using generic combat moves.

Bleach the Third Phantom is the fourth Bleach video game released in the U.S, and the first that isn’t a one-on-one fighter, but rather a strategy RPG akin to Shining Force. The game is loosely tied to Bleach continuity, and it starts several years before the start of the series. The Third Phantom stars a pair of twins (one of which you choose and name beforehand) who are attacked by a hollow in the Rukon district. Afterbeing rescued by a group of Soul Reapers (including younger versions of Kiskue Urahra, Soske Aizen, and Kaien Shiba) the two decide to become Soul Repaers themselves. When a powerful enemy attacks the Soul Society, the twins shunted forward in time to the modern day where they meet Ichigo and his allies. There are around 60 playable characters, and nearly every major player in the Bleach series makes an appearance.

I ain’t talking about no damn laundry soap. Bleach is a very popular anime and manga series created by Tite Kubo. It debuted in America is 2006 and is currently shown Saturday nights on Cartoon Network’s late night Adult Swim programming block. It can best be described as Ghostbusters and X-men meet Gi-Joe and Samurai Showdown. It enjoys a nice following, particularly amongst fansubbers and bittorrent pirates, almost becoming as iconic of an anime as Sailor Moon, Gundam, or Naruto. This article deals with the anime, although most of it is adopted from the manga. The series has been on hiatus since last November, and re-runs have been shown in its Saturday night time slot since then. New episodes are set to premiere August 28th.

Transformers 3 hit the Windy City in a big way today. Lots of photos from the set have popped up all over the web. The highlight of it all has to be the glorious return of the trailer. Optimus Prime has classically been a big rig, and the original Prime of course pulled a trailer (that disappeared at a moment’s notice). The above video, captured by a fan with a phone handy, shows the heroic Autobot leader racing into battle without hesitation.

As for the Chicago set photos… well this might get into spoiler territory, so I’ll leave those after the cut. I must stress that you’ll only see CARS, we don’t know if they’ll become robots or what robots they’ll become.

UPDATE: Here is a video of some of the other cars heading toward the set:

Icon Heroes has updated their blog with both new images of the upcoming regular release of the Lion-O mini-statue and their SDCC variant. The SDCC variant features the short version of the Sword of Omens as well as a desert environment base, while the regular release features the full length sword and a jungle environment base.

I am really digging the packaging on that SDCC variant.

Pictures of the two are after the jump! Let us know how you think they turned out.
