Final Day of the 2015 Steam Summer Sale - Anime games still discounted

Today June 21st is the final day of Steams big summer sale and a whole lot of the Anime related games that were featured last week are still on sale.

• Both Naruto Shippudden games being published by Bandai Namco
• Dragon Ball Xenoverse also published by Bandai Namco 
• Valkyria Chronicles published by Sega 
•  The first of 4 chapters of the Visual Novel Higurashi: When They Cry was released in English  last month 

At the time of this post there are just over 20 hours left in the Steam summer sale so if you were holding now is you last chance to pick up tittles on your wishlist. 

Summer Steam sale 2015 has begun and includes two Anime related games

The Annual Steam Summer sale started today and surprisingly two games featured on the front page are worth talking about. first up is for all of you Naruto/Shippudden fans out there Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution  is 66% off, making it just under $20.00 USD. This game was released on Steam last September. Aside from the large playable roster, playing as Mecha-Naruto is downright odd.

If I remember it right Mecha Naruto can be seen in episodes 376 and 377 of the Anime. The previous game ... Ninja Storm 3 Full Burst is also on sale for much less (under $10.00) 


Naruto Shippudden Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution

Ninja Storm 3: Full Burst

The other game was originally a Sony PS3 Exclusive  and received a Windows/PC port to the surprise and joy of many. Valkyria Chronicles, Released in November of last year, can be had for $5.00 USD.  Good game if you like a  military-themed, turn-based strategy game.  I kind of cheating with this one because the Anime was made after the Video game.

At the time of this posting the titles mentioned above will be on sale for the next 40 hours.

Steam is having a Weekend Batman sale

All  the major games in the Arkham series is on sale this weekend on Steam to get you ready for the upcoming Arkham Knight in late June.  Giving any interested gamer a month to get through these games.

The titles included in the sale are: 

Batman Arkham Asylum:  Game of The Year
Batman Arkham City:  Game of The Year
Batman Arkham Origins

At $4.99 each, now would be a good time to pick them up if they aren't part of your library. 
While Batman Arkham Origins doesn't include the DLC like the two other games The add-ons are discounted.

I would definitely recommend that you play through Arkham City before Knight comes out. Not only for the story connection but to get familiar with free flow combat system.

Saint Seiya Soul of Gold - Anime fans in Europe must be really happy

So after watching the first episode which appeared online a few days ago, I'm interested in watching more since it's actually a series about a group other than Seiya, Shun and that cast of characters. I haven't read the Manga (Japanese comic) this is based on so I could be wrong.

The one point of confusion for me is the inclusion of Norse Mythology. Asgard being mentioned a lot in this first episode When was this element added? I know that the original Saint Seiya started with Greek Mythology. Still using the classic series theme of "Brightly burning Cosmos". 

....
There also seems to be a new Saint Seiya video game coming to Sony PlayStation (3 and 4) as well as PC/Windows. Bandai/Namco as of late have been giving Anime/Gaming fans a chance to play Games based on Anime...

• 2 Naruto Shippuden Games
• Dragon Ball Xenoverse
•  yet to be released, One-Piece Warriors 3

There's a good change that the West will get a English version of the game eventually.

Some of the best Star Wars games in one bundle

Part of the Star Wars (Episode VII)  Force for Change  initiative Pay for games at a discount and fund a good cause (Unicef). These are for Windows PC/ Steam/Digital Downloads.



===Tier 1===
Knights of The Old Republic
Jedi Knight III: Jedi Academy
Dark Forces

The first Tier requiring a min payment of 1 USD, Knights of the Old Republic is an RPG game that came before The Old Republic MMO. Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy allows you to wield A lightsaber and force powers. Used to play this a lot over LAN.




===Tier II====
Battlefront II
Knight of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords
Republic Commando



===Tier III===
Empire at War (+ Forces of Corruption expansion)
Force Unleashed: Ultimate Sith Edition
Force Unleashed II

Empire at War was the Real Time Strategy game where you could lead the Rebel Alliance or Galactic Empire to victory. The Force Unleashed games  are supercharged version of Jedi Academy.  Better graphics and in-game physics engine.



This would be an excellent way to get some of the best Star Wars Games that (now defunct) Lucasarts published prior to closing down shop. I already own a lot of these games on physical media or from Steam via individual purchases

Over a Week left before this bundle expires.

Pinball pack for a weekly Bundle

A cool collection of digital pinball tables for fans of Star Wars and Marvel Comics. There are only a 3 days left from the original 7 to pick this up.

Zen Studios developers of Pinbal FX2 are offering up pretty much all of the Star Wars and Marvel related tables they have released so far. Going for around 6 USD at the time of this post.

If you pay for the 2nd tier minimum you also get....

• More Marvel tables ( X-men, Thor, Deadpool) 
• More Star Wars ( based on the Prequel trilogy)  

If you can get past the "floaty" ball physics then you will be treated to tables that have some great action sequences that a physical table just couldn't really pull off all that well.

Of course you will need a Steam account and Client to redeem the Steam Key codes to play and install the game on your computer. the other cool thing about buying from this site/sale is that you can choose which groups involved should get more of your money.  Zen Studios, The charities or Humble Indie Bundle.

Defintely worth playing if you are a fan of Point and Click, story focused games.

Season 1 $6.24

I honestly don't know if the PC port of the game is any better or worse than the 360/PS3 releases. If you were interested in picking it up but found the price too high before, now is a good time.
