Pokemon Go Adds New Gen 5 Legendary Today

Heatran is leaving Pokemon Go, but a new Legendary is on its way to the game. Tornadus, one of the Legendary Pokemon from the Unova region in Pokemon Black and White, will make its debut in Raid Battles beginning today, February 4, at 1 PM PT / 4 PM ET, making this your first chance to catch one in Niantic's hit mobile game.

Until February 25, you'll be able to encounter Tornadus in five-star Raids. Before you can catch the Legendary, you'll first need to team up with other players and battle it; if your group is able to successfully defeat Tornadus, everyone who participated in the Raid will earn a handful of Premier Balls and a chance to capture it.

Tornadus is part of the Forces of Nature trio, alongside Thundurus and Landorus. As a pure Flying Pokemon, Tornadus is especially vulnerable to Rock-, Electric-, and Ice-types like Rhyperior, Raikou, and Mamoswine, so your best bet to catch one is to bring along Pokemon of those types when challenging it.

If you don't yet have a Rhyperior, you'll have a chance to get one later this month. After a day of fan voting, Niantic announced that the featured Pokemon for February's Community Day will be Rhyhorn. Not only will you have your first chance to catch a Shiny Rhyhorn during the event, but you'll also be able to get the exclusive Rock-type attack Rock Wrecker if you can evolve it all the way into its final form, Rhyperior, up to two hours after the Community Day ends.

Similarly, you'll have another opportunity to add a Raikou to your collection this month. A new Special Research quest revolving around Team Rocket is now live. As before, the questline culminates in a battle with Team Rocket boss Giovanni, and if you can defeat him, you'll have a chance to catch a Shadow version of Raikou. You can read more about how to catch and purify Shadow Pokemon in our guide.

Niantic has a ton of other events lined up for Pokemon Go this month. A new batch of Field Research tasks is also now live, and if you complete enough to achieve a Research Breakthrough this month, you'll get a chance to catch another debuting Gen 5 Pokemon: Woobat.

MediEvil Review - Bones 'n Brawn

As a remaster of the 1998 puzzle-platformer of the same name, MediEvil holds up reasonably well. Its cartoonishly charming characters and varied, if relatively simplistic, level design both stands the test of time and looks better than ever thanks to a complete graphical overhaul. But as much as MediEvil can feel like a warm blanket of nostalgia--especially for those of us who played the game 21 years ago--it also feels incredibly dated, with jittery controls and camera issues that regularly get in the way of progress. You play as Sir Daniel Fortesque, a dead knight who is returned to life when the sorcerer Zarok makes an unexpected return to Gallowmere, bringing with him hordes of monsters. Fortesque remains every bit as charming a character as he was; his gnarled teeth, warbly voice, and single, rolling eyeball lose none of their charisma in the remastering process. Zarok's design hasn't aged well, though, and the new visuals leave him looking like a plastic doll who’s been

After Pitching Dragon Age Musical DLC, David Gaider Is Finally Getting To Make His Musical Game

Dragon Age lead franchise writer David Gaider is making a new and intriguing-looking musical adventure game Chorus . As it turns out, the veteran game developer--who left BioWare years ago--has been thinking about making a musical game for a long time. In an appearance at the GameSpot Theatre today at PAX Aus about his new game and studio, Gaider said he in fact pitched musical DLC for Dragon Age during his time at BioWare. The musical Dragon Age DLC could have taken place inside the metaphysical Dragon Age realm called The Fade, he said. It was a semi-serious, semi-joking pitch, Gaider said, but whatever the case, it never happened. Gaider is now getting to realize that dream. His new game, Chorus, is a musical adventure game where they big story beats play out through song. Gaider is working on Chorus with Summerfall managing director Liam Esler (former Obsidian, Beamdog developer), while prolific voice actress Laura Bailey (Uncharted, Gears of War) is voicing the main character.
