Street Fighter V - Rashid Reveal Trailer



Capcom revealed new Middle-Eastern fighter Rashid in the newest trailer for Street Fighter V!



Rashid looks like a really fun character. He is incredibly agile, which fits well with his unique wind-based attacks. But what is with that scouter he wears over his left eye? Maybe there is an interesting backstory to the "Turbulent Wind".

Rashid joins the savage Necalli as newcomers to the series. Street Fighter veterans Ryu, Chun-Li, Charlie Nash, M. Bison, Cammy, Birdie, Ken, Vega, and R. Mika have also been announced as part of the roster.

No official release date has been announced, but Street Fighter V is expected to arrive no later than spring 2016 exclusively on the PS4 and PC.

Pokémon GO - Announce Trailer



Nintendo has released the trailer for Pokémon GO, their first augmented reality game for Android and iOS!



Capturing Pokémon in the real world sounds like a dream come true for many gamers, young and old, but how well will that translate into mobile gaming? Game developer Niantic, who worked on the successful augmented reality mobile game Ingress, will bring their valuable experience to the popular Nintendo franchise. So it appears the game is in good hands.

Nintendo will also be releasing a bluetooth device compatible with the game called the Pokemon GO Plus.  It is not necessary to enjoy the game, but it does have some perks. The device will allow budding Pokémon trainers to perform basic actions in the game such as catching Pokémon with the simple press of a button. It will also alert players of nearby Pokémon and events.

The Pokémon GO Plus. Wear your guilty pleasure!

The game will be free to download and play, but expect lots of potential in-game purchases.... and a hefty cellphone bill.

No official release date has been announced, but Pokémon GO is scheduled to be available on Google Play and the App Store in 2016.

Arrow - Season 4 Trailer



The CW debuted the season 4 trailer for Arrow at Dragon Con and it has a few surprises.



Yes, that is Constantine at the 43 second mark. Looking forward to that crossover. Now if another network could just pick up the series where it left off.

Also noteworthy, Diggle debuts his new crimefighting costume this season.

Magneto?

It's about time he donned a mask. Diggle looks a bit like a modern version of The Guardian, an obscure hero from the pages of DC Comics.

The trailer also showed off Neal McDonough as Damien Darkh, Alexander Calvert as Anarky, Echo Kellum as Mr. Terrific, and the return of Caity Lotz as Sarah Lance. Season 4 is going to be interesting to say the least.

The new season of Arrow will premiere on Wednesday, October 7th at 8pm/7c on The CW.
