Cartoon Network gets hyped for the Ben 10 Ultimate Alien: Cosmic Destruction video game
Ben has a pretty cool gig. I mean, he’s had, what, three shows so far? Ben 10, Ben 10: Alien Force, and Ben 10: Ultimate Alien. He’s had specials, movies, live-action segments, great LEGO toys, and all kinds of products. But one of the only ways to truly get a sense of just how cool it is to live Ben Tennyson’s life is to get your hands on a Ben 10 video game. Papaya Studio, Cartoon Network, D3 Publisher, and the rest of the folks behind the latest gaming adventure, Ben 10 Ultimate Alien: Cosmic Destruction, had that specific goal in mind – and it appears the goal was achieved! The game, due out in just a month, on October 5th, features 17 playable characters, including normal aliens, ultimate aliens, and Ben, himself — Fourarms and Rath will appear in special editions. Be sure to check out the trailer right here in this post, then pick the game up for whatever platform you have: PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, PSP, Xbox 360, Nintendo DS, or Nintendo Wii. (more… )

Square Enix brings Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep to PSP this week
Ten years before the first Kingdom Hearts game, the world of Disney, and the Land of Departure, is a much different place. Terra, Aqua, and Ventus are close friends, training under Master Eraqus as Keyblade-wielders. Through the adventures of Birth By Sleep, this trio runs against Xehanort and Vanitas, other Keyblade Masters, as well as the Unversed; creatures who feed from negative emotions. Dark and twisted, but could you expect anything less from Square Enix? The game, which has been selling like hotcakes in Japan since January, hits Sony PSPs across the English-speaking world this week: September 7th in the U.S., and September 10th across Europe.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles strike a pose for TMNT Comiquettes
With 25 years to their history, there’ve been a number of really cool products based on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, from the awesome arcade games to the sweet TMNT-style Snuggie. One particular item that caught our eye (and not with a Nun Chuck) is Sideshow Collectibles’ collection of Turtle Comiquettes – a hybrid word for comic book and maquette (which basically is fancy for “statue”). The level of craftsmanship in each of the figures is amazing, completely detailing your four favorite Mirage Studios’ greenies to the last bit; Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo never looked so good! As they prep for their official move from 4Kids (or “Toonzai”) to Nickelodeon, grabbing one of these would be a pretty sweet way to hype up! Hmm… maybe there’s a ToonBarn contest in the works… (more… )

Gotta Catch ‘Em All. No, seriously, for Pokemon, Lisa Courtney has to catch them ALL
I like Pokemon. I would go so far as to say, over the years, I’ve really loved the franchise! Toons, cards, toys, games, etc. It’s awesome. But… then, I heard of Lisa Courtney through a little publication called Guinness World Records 2010. According to the book, Lisa Courtney has collected more than 13,000 Pokemon items. Thur. Teen. Thousand. That’s statues and figures and pens and shirts and backpacks and cups and anything else you could Poke-possibly Poke-think of. Through the past decade of collecting, the 21 year old girl has dedicated entire rooms of her house, including her mother’s room! “I’ve even named the room where my main collection resides ‘Pokémon Centre Europe!’” she said.
