Jedi Power Battles is back in our lives early next year!

For those of you who have been around GamingTrend for a bit know I’m a bit of a Star Wars fan. Jedi Power Battles was one of the first games I ever played on the Original PlayStation! Now, it looks like we’re getting an updated version of the game coming to consoles and PC early next year!
