Independent game design team Blue Isle Studios announced today that the survival horror Slender: The Arrival is coming on March 24 to PlayStation®4, the computer entertainment system, and on March 25 to Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft via the ID@Xbox self-publishing program. The official video game adaptation of the internet phenomenon, Slender: The Arrival will send the most fearless gamers into panic as they unfold the twisted mystery in a dark, foreboding atmosphere and a story fraught with terror, paranoia and other-worldly forces.




Based on eye-witness accounts, The Slender Man is depicted as a thin, unnaturally tall man dressed in a black suit with a blank, featureless face. Now Slender: The Arrival comes to next-gen consoles with brand new story elements and extended levels that continue to unfold the Slender Man mythos. Players are enveloped in a world of sensory deprivation filled with haunting visions and audio cues that create a healthy dose of tension and paranoia.

In The Arrival’s all new storyline, Lauren is in search of her friend Kate, who recently has become increasingly obsessed with the folklore of Slender Man. Was Kate’s disappearance the work of Slender Man?  Use Kate’s forgotten flashlight to explore abandoned houses, creepy mines and dark forests to unravel the mystery – all the while being stalked by the menacing presence of Slender Man.

Developed in collaboration with Eric “Victor Surge” Knudson, creator of the paranormal phenomenon, and written by the creative team behind the Marble Hornets series, Slender: The Arrival is rated ‘T’ for Teen (Blood, Violence) and will release for $9.99 digital download on March 24 for PlayStation®4 and March 25 in the Xbox Games Store for Xbox One.

SLUGTERRA: SLUG FU SHOWDOWN On DVD Review

SLUGTERRA: SLUG FU SHOWDOWN
All-New Feature-Length Adventure from the Slugterra Animated Series

                        Available February 10, 2015 from Shout! Factory Kids



Slugslingers, get ready: it’s time to slug it out with a whole new kind of slugslinging! On February 10, 2015, Shout! Factory, in collaboration with DHX Media, will release Slugterra: Slug Fu Showdown on DVD.  This exciting animated movie also includes a bonus ‘slugisode’, and has a suggested retail price of $14.97. Fans can pre-order their copy by visiting ShoutFactory.com.

In Slug Fu Showdown, Eli has added some awesome new slugs to his arsenal: the ELEMENTALS. But the Elemental Slugs are ancient, extremely powerful, and temperamental, and Eli can’t control them. Junjie, the newest member of the Shane Gang, has the solution: Eli must learn SLUG FU, the ancient and mysterious form of slugslinging that Junjie mastered when he lived in the Eastern Caverns. The Slug Fu training won’t be easy, and it’s something Eli and Junjie must do alone. That means leaving Kord, Trixie and Pronto behind—and all of Eli’s slugs, too! Things get even tougher when Eli’s training is cut short by a mysterious new villain with a seriously insane plan to rock Slugterra to its core. The villain needs only one thing to unleash his evil plan: the Elemental Slugs! Luckily, Eli left them with the rest of the Shane Gang, so they are safe…or they would be, if Pronto hadn’t annoyed them so much that they hopped off and ran away. As Kord, Trixie and Pronto struggle to keep the wily Elementals out of the wrong hands, Eli and Junjie engage in a showdown with the madman before he can reduce the 99 caverns to rubble!

Slugterra is an epic sci-fi comedy adventure set deep underground, where the ammo’s alive and only the quick survive! In this luminous, high-tech, underground world, every cavern holds a new adventure, a new battle and weird little slugs to be discovered. Slugterra was created by Vancouver-based animation studio Nerd Corps Entertainment, which was recently acquired DHX Media Ltd.

MY THOUGHTS

I enjoyed this one and I know kids will absolutely love this .  It is fun and action packed that will keep kids entertained. The graphics are pretty good and story line a little cheesy but I know children will just adore this cartoon. 

I give this 4 out of 5

MY THOUGHT

I wasn't even born when this show aired but I remember watching it (in French) with my dad when I was a kid and I remember that I really enjoyed it so I when I got the chance to review BATMAN: THE SECOND SEASON, PART 1 I just had to jump on the chance to review it .

I am so happy that WB finally re-mastered and put these on DVD .  Sure story-line and is cheesy and the action isn't great but for back then (1966 to 1968) they didn't have our technology but it is entertaining .  

If you are a big fan of Batman and you love this show than I think this will be good to get. 
Only thing I don't like is the fact that season 2 DVDs are released in parts.

I give this 4 out of 5.

KarePax Subscription Box Review

The product(s) featured in this review were provided free of cost to me by the manufacturer or representing PR agency for the sole purpose of product testing. Opinions expressed are my own and are NOT influenced by monetary compensation. 


What is KarePax ?  Well KarePax is a fairly new snacks and comic book subscription box.  Every month you get snacks from around the world and comic books. If you don't want comic books you can opt. out of receiving them and they will send you extra candies . I opt. out of the comic books. 

KarePax have different subscriptions plans. You can pick one month, three months, 6 months, 12 months or 3 months Comic books only subscription boxes .

Here is what I received in my box :





I actually got 2 of these but I forgot to add the other one in the photo





























Some of the snacks I have tried before, some I had heard of but never tried and some I had never even heard of. I like that because I got to try some things I had never tried before and I probably would never have tried them .   

Do I think it is worth it? Yes I do especially if you like trying out new snacks.
