Supanova 2013: Melbourne Coverage
Sticking very much to tradition, the numbers of costumed attendees of Supanova Melbourne 2013 seemed to largely outweigh the amount of non-costumed folk, thanks to the gaze-stealing powers of their beloved attire. Just about every character, genre or media format you could think of was on display: videogame icons, television and movie characters, DC and Marvel superheroes, cartoon characters and of course the anime aficionados.

Nintendo DS Game Review: Bleach The Blade of Fate
In Bleach: The Blade of Fate you have to first go though the basic Story Mode, which is set during the first time in the Soul Society. Playing as Ichigo you go through levels, fight the people in your way, and then save Rukia, which can be relatively hard if you don’t read the cut scenes . When you’ve completed that, things get fun, and easier. New characters are unlocked for Arcade mode Versus mode. You also unlock some of the Extras and the rest of the story modes. There are a total of 23 story modes, each based on a different character and the last one is the really long conclusion of Episode 1. I quite enjoy the multiple Story modes you unlock and the character available.
