So many good games have come out in the past year or so! And here I am without enough time to play them all, bleh.
Anyhow, hopefully you all have enough time for this Roundup tonight at least! Dive into the news after the break.

Earlier today, Hasbro dropped a press release on Twitter announcing that they have teamed up with Ubisoft to bring some of their game-oriented brands to console. Sadly not a single drop of pony is mentioned, focusing mainly on their board game titles including Trivial Persuit, Risk, and Battleship.
It does bring up an interesting idea though. With Hasbro working with a major game company like Ubisoft, there is always the possibility of some pony in future games. They have already tapped into the mobile and PC gaming market (via flash games), and with the MLP avatar gear dropping on Xbox live, it wouldn't be too surprising to see consoles as the next target if that stuff ends up doing well.
We had this discussion about a year ago, but times change and pony shifts with it! Lets imagine that Ubisoft does see the dollar signs when it comes to a pony game, what type would you like to see them make? Their genres are vast, including everything from strategy and pet simulators to greatly expanding the concept of free-running with games like Prince of Persia and Assassins Creed. The choice is yours! Hit the comments up! -
I think this about closes out the flood of contest winners. PMV's really have evolved over the years. I remember early on just seeing scenes and ponies singing to music was amazing, now we have these complex animation filled works almost daily. That does put us in an odd situation for a spotlight blog though!
Anyway, take what I said up above and maximize it. Spark is definitely one of the best of the year. Everything from the typography to the squeaky clean usage of the effects and vectors takes this one straight to the top. If you don't usually watch pmv's, be sure to check this one out regardless! Get it below.

A new set of 5 figures has appeared over at Toys R' Us, though there isn't an image available as of yet. For those collecting the Equestria Girls dolls, this is your first chance to pick up a Luna toy. The description reads:
Canterlot High is a happenin' school and these classmates want to show their school spirit! You can hold a whole pep rally with the 5 figures in the Canterlot High Pep Rally set. Your Vice Principal Luna doll will lead your Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Applejack and Rarity dolls in the Wondercolts cheer. What kind of ponyfied adventures will you have with all your Equestrial Girls pals? Go Wondercolts!
TRU is listing the ship date for 12/31/2013, which usually means "we haven't a clue!". Expect it some time later on in the year. You can pre-order the set here now.
Set includes 5 dolls. Canterlot High Pep Rally set features Vice Principal Luna, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Applejack and Rarity dolls. Fancy, ponyfied fun!
Thanks to everyone that sent it in! -
Want to get involved with the MLP Card game announced last week? Enterplay has opened up signups to join their volunteer program. Some of the duties that will be expected of you will be:
- Learning how to play and judge MLP: CCG.
- Staying up-to-date with MLP: CCG news, releases, rules updates, and the overall community.
- Introducing MLP: CCG to MLP fans at meet-ups / CCG players at local game stores.
- Planning, organizing, hosting, and judging MLP: CCG organized play events at meet-ups / game stores, which involves advance communication and maintaining a positive relationship with meet-up organizers / game store management.
- Recording and submitting official event results online, along with a written summary of the event.
- Maintaining communication with Enterplay and volunteer leaders regarding the status of CCG organized play in their region.
- Encouraging the growth of MLP: CCG.
- Maintaining a professional appearance and demeanor, online and offline, while you represent Enterplay and MLP: CCG. This includes having no online ties between your name / fandom name and unsavory materials (explicit, derogatory, etc.).
- And possibly most importantly, maintaining a positive, friendly attitude when interacting with players, non-players, meet-up attendees, game store customers, meet-up organizers, store management, other volunteers, and potential players (that’s everyone!) in your capacity as a volunteer for the MLP: CCG organized play program.
