Apparently Microsoft isn't the only one with summer release plans (meanwhile Nintendo appears content to continue sitting on the sidelines. How long until Steam's summer sale hits I wonder?) Anyway, Tuesday, July 3rd, the following games will be available at 30% off (50% off if you are a PlayStation Plus Member)...
J.U.L.I.A Untold HD - iPad Review
I recently touched on the game J.U.L.I.A for the PC, and found myself liking it quite a bit. Recently Lace Mamba released J.U.L.I.A. Untold HD for iOS, which is a direct spinoff of the original game. Like the original J.U.L.I.A, Untold HD tells a self-contained story...
J.U.L.I.A - PC Review
I really did not know what to expect when going into J.U.L.I.A for the first time. I had liked some of the screenshots I had seen, and enjoy a good adventure game from time to time. This sci-fi game starts you off in the role of a scientist who wakes up after a long...
Worth the wait? Mass Effect 3 - Extended Cut DLC
I have given a lot of coverage to Mass Effect 3 at this site so far, including a review where I gave the game high marks despite the controversial ending. While I did not mind the ending, it was quickly made clear that a lot of other fans felt that it was a complete disservice. ...
My recent articles on Otaku Gaming
Well, with me having been ridiculously sick, my posting volume on Otaku Gaming was certainly affected as well. Still, I managed to get out a fair number of posts and maybe a few will interest you? Let's start off with my article about Ragnarok Tactics and its release...
Marvel Pinball 3D for 3DS - Trailer, Screens & Release Info
So I just saw a press release from ZEN Studios in reference to Marvel Pinball 3D for the Nintendo 3DS, which is set to release June 28th, 2012 in North America and Europe for the Nintendo eShop.

Oh it's been a long, long week and weekend...
And unfortunately that's not 'long weekend' as in: It was loads of fun.
No, I managed to stay sick for over a week and I'm still not at 100% and don't expect that I will be until Wed or Thursday at the moment, but the worst of the bronchial infection appears to be over. ...
The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav – now available!
I commented on this game a few times in the past, and it is now apparently out:
...
Magic: The Gathering - Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013 release
While I am down and mostly out sick (bronchial infection) - I got excited to read about the release of the latest Magic game. I have reviewed the last couple and have been enjoying my return to playing the actual card game of late to, so this is a welcome release for me...
Quick update - plus Tomba!
So, pretty much still sick as a dog. A very old dog. At least that's how I'm feeling today. And still at work because we had a big software release today. So, not much of a post here today, expect to say Tomba! has made its debut on the PlayStation Network. ...
Thrillville: Off the Rails - Wii Review
Hopefully you all had a nice weekend? Mine was equal parts fun and not-so-fun. The not-so-fun is I've been fighting a flu-like something-or-other since Saturday afternoon and it's still kicking my butt as of this morning. The fun came in the form of going to...
Tekken Hybrid - PlayStation 3 Review
At first glance, Tekken Hybrid looks like a pretty full package. It comes with an HD version of the venerable Tekken Tag Tournament, which was both an arcade and PlayStation 2 title. It also comes with a completely CGI movie called Tekken Blood Vengeance and Tekken...
Tekken 6 - Xbox 360 Review
I first got hooked on the Tekken series way back on the PlayStation. There is no number after that, just the first PlayStation. That console was home to some really good RPG and fighting games, but Tekken stood out as arguably my favorite fighter at the time.
...
Left 4 Dead - Xbox 360 Review
This one's been out for a few years, so I'm giving it the slightly more lightweight treatment, which is fare because as good as the game is, there is not a ton of meat on its bones. For starters, this is not a game that is meant to be played in single player. I can't...
What have I been posting at Otaku Gaming?
Lots and lots of things. First off - thanks for all the looks and comments during E3. I decided to go with a more ddigest-form or it this year as opposed to last year where I was tossing out some high Twitter traffic and doing just a couple of roundup pages. ...
Happy Monday!
Yeah, that title's about as excited as I can get for a Monday morning. That said, I had a pretty solid weekend. Got lots of gaming in over it and got to catch Prometheus to boot (I dug it). What games have you guys been playing of late? My list grew a...
Highlights from E3 - Part 7
So maybe I spoke just a bit too soon about Nintendo not having any other franchises to talk about. Even better? They threw a bone to Wii owners as well with...
...
Highlights from E3 - Part 6
Brraaaaaiiiiiiiinssss.....
It's amazing how popular zombies have become in our culture of late. Between that and vampires, we seem to enjoy our undead, but personally I am just about zombie-d out. Even so, the game...
...
Highlights from E3 - Part 5
One of the best things about E3 in my opinion, is getting to see cutting edge visuals on display. I already touched on the Final Fantasy demo, but one of the most notable announcements came from Heavy Rain developer Quantic Dream with...
...
Highlights from E3 - Part 4
With a household of gamers of varying ages and interests, I find myself considering a lot of titles that might not immediately appeal to me. That's not to say that Forza or Kingdom Hearts titles are bad games, but they are not ones I would give much thought to when there...
Highlights from E3 - Part 3
Round three of... well, I don't know how many yet. As someone who owns every current-gen system except the Vita though, I have quite the interest in a wide variety of releases. And quite frankly, there is a solid chance I wind up with a Vita sometime in the next...
Highlights from E3 - Part 2
One of the great things about being console agnostic is I get excited about a wide range of games and do not believe in fanboyism. Do I come to appreciate the offerings of one system more than another, or one game series more than another? Sure, but it is personal...
Highlights from E3 - Part 1
So this week I have commented on my own E3 thoughts, and how I came away disappointed from the conferences that Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo held. There were few real surprising announcements and most of the best stuff shown was third party software that shows up on multiple...
Nintendo's E3 conference
I was really hoping Nintendo would come out swinging this year. Last year I thought the Big N had the weakest showing at E3 of the three consoles. They only showed one title from their current gen console, and while Skyward Sword was amazing, it still left a lot...
June's PlayStation Plus
I haven't had a chance to finish watching Nintendo's E3 yet, but once I do I'll get a post out there (probably tomorrow) with my thoughts on it as well as on what has been (at least to me so far) a disappointing E3 overall.
But in the meantime, if you are a PlayStation 3 owner,...
Just a few quick E3 thoughts this morning
Unfortunately real-life is conspiring against my ability to fully digest and share my thoughts on E3 right now, between my dad visiting from out of state, some issues at work and so on. Still, having gotten to watch some of the press conferences, here's some of the things...
Heroes of Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes - PSN Review
Heroes of Might and Magic is a series I am familiar with, but not experience with. I know that it is generally a strategy series involving magic and monsters of fantasy lore. This game has little resemblance to those titles based on what I know of them, with a story...
Final Fantasy XIII-2 - PlayStation 3 Review
It seems like I have been playing this game forever. My wife picked it up for me when we went to a Pistons game earlier in the year, and I have been picking at Final Fantasy XIII-2 between other games ever since. I was a fan of Final Fantasy XIII, giving it a score...
