Final Fantasy Tactics for iPhone has been submitted to Apple for app store review.
Some new Devil Survivor 2 screens.
Two big releases this month: Devil Survivor 2 in Japan and Panzer Corps. Panzer Corps plays a lot like the classic Panzer General and has been getting great reviews. PC and iPhone continues to be a great source of tactics games in English, although most of them are indie games.
Many recent console and handheld tactics games don't seem to be getting an official English release. This is especially true of the PSP which seems to be abandoned due to poor sales and rampant piracy. No Valkyria Chronicles 3, Gungnir, Blaze Union, Gloria Union, R-Type Tactics II, or Blue Roses, just to name a few. And as usual we won't be seeing Super Robot Wars, SD Gundam G, or Daisenryaku titles in English anytime soon. Not all hope is lost, though. The latest Fire Emblem for DS has an unofficial translation project underway.
In non-video gaming fun, a strategy for solving a Rubik's cube of any size has been developed. This is on top of being able to solve any 3x3 Rubik's cube in 20 moves or less regardless of pattern.

Regarding not all hope is lost...
despite being on the bland and meh side of TRPGs the Luminous Arc-Series has quite the non-japanese following. Of course you have to calculate in the "boooobies"-effect. ~.~
After an official release of Part 1 and 2 of the series outside of Japan there is also one (several??) unoffical tranlation project(s) for Luminous Arc 3 going on.

I am in the middle of finishing the official Luminous Arc 2 for the second time and might be interested in this LA3 (and I wish them all the best on their journey) but I would trade in an translated Luminous Arc 3 for any translation patch-release of the games listed at the beginning of this post anytime.
I heard Luminous Arc 3 was somehow better than the first two. Any kind of English translation patch is good, imo.
If you give LA3 a try you can let me know what's up with it.
