Dead or Alive was one of those fighting franchises that always looked nice, but I never got around to playing early on. My first brush with the series was Dead or Alive 4 on the Xbox 360.

Some games beaten, new ones started
I'll probably put a review out this weekend, but not this week. Too many games to work on this week - not that that is a bad thing. I have a handful of new games coming over the next week or two, and picked up some new ones recently as well. Probably the most pronounced was Assassin's Creed III, which I beat late last night. That game got off to a 'slow' start for me - I really was not terribly into it, but it got considerably better in the later portions. Except the end. I will not go into details, but the ending left a bit to be desired in my opinion. Surprised that I had not heard more about it, given the fits the ending from Mass Effect 3 caused.
Games I meant to play in 2012, but never got around to
There were a lot of games I meant to play in 2012 and just never got around to. Some, I simply never bought. Others I purchased and still never got around to - so I have even less of an excuse. Some of the games released this year, some in years past.
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 what will change? Hopefully my articles will get even more readers, but... that's about it.
I will continue to post the same kinds of stories over on Digitally Downloaded, including some additional ones now as well. I fully plan to keep posting here on Chalgyr's Game Room as well, so feel free to visit my articles on both sites until you are completely sick of me (it likely won't take long).
So, to start things off - I have guest written reviews on Digitally Downloaded in the past, but I got to self-post my first review for them, and the game was an excellent one to be sure. Orcs Must Die! 2. I will be getting a review up over here as well, but if you are really curious to see what I thought of the game, feel free to read this review in the meantime.

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 information.
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. I know I got a couple of comments that I managed to highlight a few games that others missed - was my E3 posting of use/interest then by and large or not?
Well, aside from E3 and a lot of the big name announcements, I was surprised at how many other games and companies that were a bit lesser-known were also putting out tons of announcements, and I tried to track a lot of that over on Otaku Gaming. It wound up being a pretty active week and change on that site for me as well, so here's the breakdown for those who are interested.
We can kick things off with the announcement that Dark Souls will be releasing DLC for consoles to include that extra content coming out for the Prepare to Die PC version.

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 are announcements and trailers released. However, knowing that my youngest daughter loves LittleBigPlanet or my son enjoys all things Call of Duty, I find myself examining games more closely than I might otherwise do - and occasionally find myself pleasantly surprised when I do.
My oldest? She mostly plays games like The Sims, but she absolutely loves games with unique artwork too. She might not play, but she will plop down next to me and watch me play, which can be fun too because it gets us sitting together and talking as we pass the time. One such title I think will appeal to her is...

Demon's Souls, Dead or Alive 5, Person 4 Golden and more at Otaku Gaming
Good morning - I hope you all have a nice weekend and survived Monday with flying colors. The last week was a busy one for me at Otaku Gaming (Internet Archive link) with quite a few screenshots and announcements that I would like to point out. A bit later on the week, I'll touch on my thoughts on The Elder Scrolls Online on this blog, continue to drop some more reviews on slightly older games and more.
Also, for those of you new to my blog, I have a links page listed below my banner and a blog roll in the far right tab of the right sidebar here. There are so many great gaming sites and blogs out here, and when I get a chance I like to call them out in relevant posts, but don't just wait for me to do that. I realize that not everyone's blog is for everyone, but there are some really interesting reviews, opinions, announcements and more to be found on this collection of sites. If you are reading this and you don't see your site linked/blog rolled and want me to? Feel free to drop me a comment in this article or an email at Chalgyr@yahoo.com and I'd be more than happy to add you.
Gamers are a community unto themselves and those of us passionate enough about our hobby to share our thoughts through blog posts and comments are yet another community that we should take advantage of.
Now, then - a recap of my articles on Otaku Gaming last week...
