Okabu is a PSN game created by independent developers HandCircus.

Their mission, to save their planet from the threat of industrialization which is polluting their world.

My PlayStation 3 hasn’t seen much gaming lately but I think all that is about to change. Starting October, DC Universe Online is going free-to-play. That means that you’ll be able to download the entire game for free as well as play the game for free without any monthly subscription fees. This is great news as I’m always down for free games and the subscription fees were one of the issues that kept me from ever buying this game. There will still be a pay option for premium content, but it’s exciting to see most of the core game go free.
For more detailed information about the changes happening to the game as well as the 3 levels of access, check out PlayStation.Blog for all the info.

*Note – Since E3 is this week, I’ll be posting up a few trailers for games that really caught my eye this year. Since E3 focuses on a lot of console games, some of these are for mature gaming audiences only.

This is probably the last Portal 2 trailer considering the game comes out next week. This one is entitled “Boots” and features what Aperture Laboratories calls, the Long Fall Boot. It’s basically a “suit of armor” for your feet.
Over the last few weeks, we’ve gotten quite a few enticing reasons to pre-invest in Aperture Laboratories: from the planks of tomorrow, to test-optimized bots, to the last word in pre-emptive defense, the Home Safety Turret. Today marks Aperture’s fourth and final Investment Opportunity video, and if it doesn’t get you reaching for your special investment wallet, you wouldn’t know a can’t-miss opportunity if it was staring you in the face, yelling at you about boots.
More teaser trailers from Capcom. This time it’s from their upcoming game, Street Fighter X Tekken, two of the most popular fighting franchises of all time.
Capcom released information at its annual Captivate Media Showcase in Miami which detailed three new games that will be appearing in its 2011/2012 game lineup. Some of the games mentioned were Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition, Dead Rising 2: Off the Record, and a new franchise entitled Dragon’s Dogma. Dragon’s Dogma is from some of the creators of Resident Evil 4 and Devil May Cry 4 so this might be a title to keep your eyes on. Other titles shown were Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City, Street Fighter X Tekken, and Asura’s Wrath.

Has it really been 20 years already since SEGA first introduced Sonic the Hedgehog? It seems like just yesterday that I was first introduced to SEGA’s lovable mascot on the SEGA Genesis. This was back in 1991. Wow. Where does the time go? SEGA today put up a little teaser commemorating Sonic’s 20th anniversary that shows him running around on very familiar territory. It’s a look at a new game coming out but doesn’t show any actual gameplay. Not much else is shown but it looks like SEGA might have some really big plans for him this year.
