TGS Madness: Sakura Wars DS
Ahhh Sakura Wars. Something about a tactical wargame / dating sim involving steampunk mecha and theater that really gets to an otaku. Too bad the bloody games have never hit Western shores YET. (Even though it was promised that the 5th one WAS suppose to be translated) The newest Sakura Wars game does away with [...]
TGS Madness: SRW OG Gaiden
(source: 4chan, Gigazine ) And so while Western game journalist report on the stuff the entire world would give a damn about, it does makes it a bit hard for those of us that play primarily Japanese games. Luckily, a shaky cam video of Super Robot Taisen OG Gaiden has surfaced on the net. I [...]

I Wanna… ROBO ROCK!
(source: Anime News Network) Robo Rock is an upcoming live-action film featuring robots and rock. Go figure. What’s notable is that Studio GONZO did the animation for the big-ass mech in the movie. It’s overall look is reminicisent of Iron Giant, but it looks like it kicks a lot more ass. This looks to be [...]
Imakibisou (PS3)
Sound novel games. One of the few types of Japanese games that really haven’t hit Western shores. Lots of talking, lots of reading, not much in the ways of action, explaining this type of game to a Westerner will usually get you one of those “What The?”-looks.

The reasoning (and spoilers) after the jump.
Again, Yet Another New Look
Ok, so I feel that the site needs another visual overhaul. So I’m going with what you see right now (it’s called the Nebula theme). Going to spend the next few days tweaking this, so bear with it. In the meantime, enjoy the somewhat random, yet coming more frequently, updates.
TGS Madness: Sept 12, 2007
Ok, so I’m not going to be even remotely near Tokyo. Hell, I don’t even think I’ll be in Japan. Best I can do is eat sushi, but at the very least, I can comment on the Tokyo Game Show rumblings that are happening this month. As if you couldn’t tell, we’re just a TAD [...]
