Strike Witches is a popular anime and manga series. It is coming to the Xbox 360, complete with not-very-good graphics. A shame! Those on the Japanese internet are saying that the game looks like a Wii title, an Xbox LIVE Arcade title, a PSP title or even an original PlayStation game. The sailor suit material…

Another Monday almost over, another Kotaku Off Topic in which to vent one’s spleen, celebrate Mondays, seek a home remedy for a case of the Mondays or just chat about any number of not-necessarily video game-related things.
