2 NEW XBLIG REVIEWS ON THE WAY!!!

I'm glad to let you (My Viewers/Readers) know that I have two new XBLIG reviews in the works. One of the reviews will be of kilroyfx's 'Bloody Checkers'. He has been kind enough to give me a code for review, and has kept me informed about some bug fixes that are in the works. The second XBLIG title is sosodevgame's new title 'Fluffly: Operation Overkill'. My thanks goes out to both developers for being generous enough to share their game with me. You can look forward to the reviews coming very soon. I'm currently working on 'Bloody Checkers', and I have to say I'm quite impressed. I'm also very anxious to get these reviews out there to my audience. Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to read my initial posts, and I hope you return here for more reviews. Thanks Everyone!!!

Fighting Game Character DLC: "Is It Worth It?"

Recently gamers saw the release of Mortal Kombat's new DLC character 'Skarlet'. If I've researched correctly the 'Skarlet' DLC will cost players $4.99. This isn't bad compared to the DLC characters I bought for 'BlazBlue: Continuum Shift' ($7.99 ea.), but it's still a steep price to pay since it looks like MK's developers are looking to release a lot more characters. I'm all for new characters, but with the economy the way it is, it's getting hard for me to support my gaming habits. Currently I'm only able to focus my money on purchasing gaming necessities, and maybe one new title a month. I'm pretty sure other gamers are currently feeling the pinch from the economy's situation as well. One big issue I have with MK Developer's plan for future character releases is that some of the new ones are actually old ones. I like the old MK characters as much as the next fighting game enthusiast, but if they are going to charge five bucks a pop then I'd like to see brand new characters. That's just my stand on the issue.

Skoddle Game's "Astro Cluster" Possible LIVE Weekend Matches

I've been doing Xbox Live Indie Game reviews just for a short while now. It has truly been a dream job for me, and Andy Merrill of xblaratings.com made that possible. While doing reviews for Andy I reviewed a game titled 'Astro Cluster'. The game ended up recieving a '10' rating which was the highest available on the site. It rightfully deserved it as well. I'm not going to go over the review here out of respect for Andy, and xblaratings.com. If you want to read the review you can find it at www.xblaratings.com. There's also a link to that site here on my blog. After reviewing the game, the developer @Skoddle replied to my review with a kind message complimenting me. It's not every day that I recieve compliments from a game developer, so this was a special moment for me. @Skoddle ended up inviting me to play online with him, and I did not hesitate to accept. The first online match we played was without the headset, but it was still very fun. We ended up sampling all of the multiplayer modes, and had a good time doing so.

OtakuDante's Gaming Inferno Blog Launch!!!

Welcome everyone to my official review blog. In the days, weeks and months to come I hope to provide my readers and viewers with with some quality reviews. Most of you that already know me via Twitter, or Youtube already now that I'm a serious gamer. You may also already know that I've been a reviewer for a while now. About 3 years to be exact. I've had the privelage to do reviews for such sites as MovieSet.com (from Canada), realotakugamer.com, and recently xblaratings.com ... I take pride in my reviews, and I'm very passionate about what I do. I will not lie to you if I think a game is bad, and I'll definitely give a game praise if I honestly think it deserves it. My goal here is to give quality reviews for new and old titles, so that gamers, anime, and movie lovers alike will know what to invest their hard earned money in. The economy is squeezing everyone dry, and I feel that services like mine are needed for the future enjoyment of video games, movies, and anime.
