Power Disc Slam has finally been dated for Europe. The game is just a few days away from release, as it should be out on July 28 for €11.99.
Here’s a brief overview for those who haven’t been keeping track of Power Disc Slam:
“Power Disc Slam brings elements of air hockey and throws human players into the mix to create a macro version of the classic game. A wealth of power ups and special challenge levels stir up the gameplay to bring air hockey screaming into the 21st century.”
Power Disc Slam doesn’t have a date in North America as of now, but it should drop soon hopefully.

Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Mobile, News | 1 Comment
One Easter Egg Pokemon GO players have been unsure about is the method of making Eevee evolve through a particular trick. But at San Diego Comic-Con 2016 today, Niantic CEO John Hanke officially confirmed its existence.
If you haven’t heard of the trick previously, it amounts to naming Eevee in a certain way. To have Jolteon, you need to give it the nickname Sparky.
