Pokemon Company recently announced on their Japanese site that there will be a new Pokemon game out soon: Pokemon Black and Pokemon White. Not much information has been released about these new games, but they have told us that it will fully reveal two new Pokemon named Zorua and Zoroark. Both are Dark type Pokemon. We do not know if they will be god Pokemon or companion Pokemon. Zorua is on the left, and Zoroark is on the right.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare [Reflex] - 9.5

He he. I'm almost giddy with excitement when i think of Modern Warfare Reflex. The experience is almost identical to the Xbox 360 or PS3 game play, the only difference would be the graphics. Activision really delivered with this one. The game play is exactly how an FPS should be: fast paced (but not hectic and chaotic), realistic, FUN, and challenging. [Reflex] allows you to take a break from the pastel colored world of all the hundreds of kiddy Wii games, and drop yourself into a world of explosions and m4's (there are plenty of both). The single-player is amazing and varies in type. One level may be a 'run n' gun' kind of mission and the next you may be crawling beneath tanks unnoticed to snipe an enemy. It has something for everyone (except for little kids). The Wiimote is very responsive and is seldom inaccurate. The controls are easily mastered, though I do not recommend playing with a Wii Zapper. Too many turns and jerks and buttons in weird places with the zapper. The online play is astounding. It keeps you motivated all the way up to Level 55. New guns, perks, and customizations will keep you fighting to the next skill level. Also it has more than the stereotypical Team Deathmatch. You can play capture the flag, try to blow up the base, or do a 1 on 1 match in close quarters. The graphics are lacking, but for a Wii game they're pretty good. Here comes the parent section: In terms of gore, there isn't much to complain about. In one scene an arm is sniped off (you see this from a distance), and in another scene a dog is shown eating a person (there is blood all over, but no gore). I haven't heard any language to complain about. The violence in and of itself isn't that graphic but keep it away from the littler ones. Kids 14+ should be able to handle this.Overall it is the best shooter for any wii owner out there.
