• WWE 2K25 – Xbox Series X Review

    To be frank: this is what you hope to see in an annually released game. More features and improvements across the board combine to make it better than ever. WWE 2K25 is exactly that – bigger and better than ever.

  • Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered - PC Review

    The year was 1996 when I first heard about Tomb Raider. I didn't have a Playstation, nor was I any sort of adept at using those controllers. However I did enjoy watching my friend play them on his PS...

  • Microtopia - PC Review

    Microtopia is a neat game where players grow a new kind of colony, the kind that is run by robotic ants. Now if an automation game where you get to control robotic ants isn't an interesting one, you've been living under a rock.

  • Maliki: Poison of the Past - PC Preview

    Hey there, and welcome to a preview of a new title that’s now wormed it’s way into my wishlist. Maliki: Poison of the Past is a really neat looking title that draws from the graphic novel series Maliki.

  • Space Engineers 2 - PC Preview

    Keen Software House (Keen) has recently launched Space Engineers 2 (SE2) into early access with a polished communication campaign featuring YouTube influencer previews, snappy teasers and a road map using the ‘vertical slice’ concept to show the intended path between initial early access availability and final release.

  • Ever 17: The Out of Infinity - Nintendo Switch Review

    I've got a good one for ya! An awkward teen, an amnesiac kid, a grumpy Lolita, a bratty child (not really), a hacker, an oblivious employee and an AI walk into an underwater bio-dome---

  • ZPF - PC Preview

    ZPF is a new shoot-'em-up game that looks, sounds and plays like a Sega Genesis game. The demo I played was short with three levels and three different heroes (ships) each with their own play style.

  • Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land - PS5 Review

    If there's one series that keeps me excited for every new release, it's Gust's Atelier series. As much as things change over the years, the core staple of the series remains the same. It's about alchemy...

  • Rise of the Ronin - PC Review

    Set in the Bakumatsu-era in Japan, Rise of the Ronin follows the path of a Veiled Edge, a unique paired swordsmen's technique where you play one half of a pair of sword-slinging ronin called Blade Twins.

Super Street Fighter IV - 3DS Review

What - what?  Didn't I just review this game like 5 minutes ago in another post? Well, kind of - but not.  I picked up Street Fighter IV shortly after it released some time ago, and then traded it in.  Then when my wife got me my 3DS for Christmas last year,...

Street Fighter - Happy 25th Anniversary

I was not planning on getting a post out today.  I was going to let my Street Fighter IV review sit at the top of the mountain for an extra day before I did my next Street Fighter review tomorrow.  Then I stumbled onto something when I was surfing the web early this...

Street Fighter IV - Xbox 360 Review

I picked this title up for Xbox 360 for one reason (usually if a game has an online mode, I grab it for PS3), and one reason only at the time - one of my best friends growing up was a huge Street Fighter fan, just like I was.  At the time, he only had an Xbox 360. ...

Street Fighter III: Third Strike - Online Edition - PSN Review

I first played this version of Street Fighter on my Sega Dreamcast years ago.  I recall being a bit thrown by it at first.  I had spent so much time playing Street Fighter II and its fifty variants that I had grown incredibly comfortable with a handful of characters...

Rage of Bahamut - iPhone Review

Recently, I mentioned getting an iPhone - which was sorely needed since my old phone was dropping calls and the touch screen stopped responding to... well... touch.  That seemed problematic. Of course, one of the things I was most excited about was getting some portable...

Farewell, Nintendo Power

I was going to hit you all with a roughly two week stream of straight up Street Fighter, but then I saw the Nintendo Power announcement and felt the need to write something up sooner rather than later. I have been playing video games for a long time.  A loooong time,...

Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix - PSN & Xbox Live Review

This is going to be the first of a few Street Fighter reviews. I purchased this on Xbox Live quite some time ago, but had a chance to pick it up for free on PlayStation Network as well.  Having played both versions, there is almost no difference between them except the...

How about some Street Fighter?

Uh-oh.  Yup, I'm at it again.  It's getting on toward fall, and with it a change in my color scheme and soon my banner.  I will likely run with this one until it starts to snow, and then I'll go to a lighter theme I already laid out.  Personally though -...

T.G.I....F! Contest, Madden, Dragon's Dogma and more!

Good grief, am I glad the weekend's nearly here.  I am going to be pretty busy tomorrow as I head out of town with my wife and youngest for a small trip related to her Girl Scouts troop.  I have a larger-than-normal night of Magic: The Gathering coming up on Monday...

Gua-Le-Ni: Paper Beasts - iPad Review & A Contest!

Originally released back in December, Gua-Le-Ni: Paper Beasts is an odd game at first glance.  It is a puzzle game, that much becomes clear rather quickly - but the way it plays out is unlike anything else I have played so far on the iPad.  The premise is simple, but...

Diablo 3 - beaten, 50k hits on the site - solid week

What have I been up to?  What have you been up to?  Usually I post these on Mondays, but I had a couple of reasons for waiting just a bit longer, and for two reasons.  First up, I beat Diablo III finally.  I know, I know - everyone and their mom who has played...

Red Faction: Guerrilla - Xbox 360 Review

Here's another lightweight review of a somewhat older game from this console generation - Red Faction: Guerrilla.  I borrowed this from a friend for a weekend and my son and I both went ahead and played it for several hours each.  My son liked it a bit more than me,...

Orcs Must Die! 2 - PC Review

There is something about the strategy involved with tower defense games that sits really well with me.  I have only played a handful so far, but enjoyed them all to differing degrees.  My favorite to date has probably been Defense Grid.  That being said, I think...

Chaltire's Mediocre Blog - huh, say what?

So, I mentioned earlier this summer that my son would be starting up his own gaming blog.  Well, it finally happened.  He's been poking around several of the other sites on here of late such as Coffee With Games, Digitally Downloaded and Gamesoup as he slowly dipped...

What I've been posting about elsewhere

Slightly different title than what I usually go with, but there is a reason for that.  Otaku Gaming will be merging over to Digitally Downloaded going forward.  So, this will probably be my last post where I am linking to articles directly at Otaku Gaming.  So...

Dungeons - PC Review

Do you know what one of my favorite feelings in all of gaming is?  Sure, there are a handful of correct answers here - like an emotionally satisfying story, finding an Easter egg, beating a friend in multiplayer and becoming lost in a graphically amazing moment are all...

Heavy Rain - PlayStation 3 Review

I read about this game long before ever giving it a try.  As someone who had kept up on the reviews and trailers, I had a pretty good idea of what I was getting into.  Quantic Dream thanks you for supporting Interactive Drama, and that is a good way of phrasing it...
