I had heard about Prince of Tennis from otome game fans, but for a long time I wasn’t sure if it actually had otome games, or whether

Gungho Works has announced that Nade Pro ~Kisama mo Seiyuu Yattemiro!~ for the PS2 will be released on October 29 2009. Here’s the limited edition cover and the seiyuu (since this was originally a series of drama CDs, I’m assuming they’re the same, but je ne sais pas):

It’s been a while since I finished MOST of VitaminZ (still haven’t got those bonus events!), and I think I can finally do a kind of final review.

OK, let’s lay it all out on the table: The first day of October this year is now officially Hiiro no Kakera Day.

Whee, several more games announced in this month’s B’s Log and Girl’s Style!

The list of voice actors for Souten no Kanata, one of the PC games I’m really looking forward to (I’m a sucker for historicals!) was announced in B’s Log last month.

Ryoyuu: Hosoya Yoshimasa Kei: Yanai Hitoshi Shui: Mizushima Takahiro Ryuurou: Chiba Susumu Taishin: Kawada Shinji

Brand new from icingCandy (a label from Interchannel), Blood Call for the PC has an interesting setup.

Dengeki Online just announced detailed info on a new otome game from D3 Publisher, and it’s in the survival suspense genre! It’s not a horror survival like Resident Evil (thank God because I don’t think I could play it), but the premise is that the heroine gets stranded in an old school building in the middle of nowhere with several male students, a teacher, and a teaching student, and has to find her way out while a killer calling himself “Kamen no Shinigami” (The Masked God of Death) starts to attack them.
Kurayami no Hate de Kimi o Matsu is slated for a fall release for the Nintendo DS, and seems to have a puzzle component as well. To get out of the old building, you have to solve some puzzles using the touchpad and collecting items with one of the six guys you were stranded with. To make things even more nerve-wracking, the killer is one of the six guys you can choose!
The site has character info, and the Dengeki site has a bunch of screenshots showing the setup.

Someone asked me a while ago about Love Revo (sorry it took so long!), and specifically about Ichinose Ren, whose route is the hardest to finish.  I thought some general strategy might help - now this is from the PS2 version, but AFAIK it still applies:

Yikes, I thought I wrote about the several new games in the June mags, I guess I just updated the calendar.
