There’s a growing genre of really popular blogs that rely on reader submissions for content. I Can Has Cheezburger, Cute Overload or Texts from Last Night are just a few of the community-powered sites to catch on over the past few years. Some have handled submissions manually through an email address, and some have set up their own submission systems. Since the staff at Tumblr noticed that folks were using their platform for this kind of material, they decided to make it easier and introduce Tumblr Submissions . You can turn on Submissions from Tumblr’s Customize screen to enable readers to drop posts into your submission queue via email or a modified version of Tumblr’s regular posting interface. The queue is accessible from your dashboard, and you can clean it out or approve posts from there. Submissions aren’t going to be useful for everyone, but if you were thinking of starting some kind of themed blog with user-generated content, Tumblr should be your go-to platform.

Koei has announced that the PSP distillation of its latest large-scale infantry combat themed console game will arrive in the US on August 25. Warriors Orochi 2 — which, like a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup of historic Asian warfare, features characters from Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors — will ring in at $29.99. The game boasts a whopping 96 playable characters, two of which are new to this handheld incarnation. New game modes are also called for, including one which pits heroes versus heroes (sans armies) for close combat, tag-team scuffles. We’re hopeful that Koei will have better luck in its attempts to break the 100 character mark with the inevitable Warriors Orochi 3 .

Natsume is finally bringing the long-delayed Afrika to American audiences this year. The nature-themed photography game is very much a niche title, but its production values are far beyond what a typical budget game offers. Pricing is a tricky subject for the publisher to handle, as its games aren’t meant really for casual gamers. “We are not so interested in the so-called ‘value’ titles,” Yasuhiro Maekawa explained to Gamasutra . “Most of the Natsume games I’d say are about in the middle. Sort of normal retail price titles with normal graphical levels.” So what will the publisher pursue for Afrika ? “For a PlayStation 3 title, this will probably be $49.99. That’s what we’re thinking. Between $39.99 and $49.99.
