    My Reason to buy a PS3

    One of the better games I've played as of late. A take on WWII in another dimension. Learning to play the game was simple enough. With the use of symbols that distinguishes specific units, it proves easy to identify which units are what. Couple the gameplay with a unique graphics engine, the game is artistically brought to life.  Though the game is a turn-base tactical game, the flow of the gameplay proves to be much more faster than traditional turn-based games. As for the story, Valkyria Chronicles is a dramatic game that proves to be much more in depth than just trying to win a war. It deals with ethnicity and racism, struggles for freedom and power, and the human will to succeed.

    Overall, this game is a masterpiece. If you prefer artistic graphics over real life graphics, turn-base strategy to real time strategy, this is a must buy. For others, I recommend trying the demo before making a buy.

Chronicles tells a deep engaging story set amidst a WWII-type clash of superpowers as well as challenging you with a varied and deep combat system. Set in a fictional version of  Europe, cunningly named Europa, embroiled in the Second Europan War, Valkyria Chronicles follows the events of the Empire’s invasion of a small, neutral country...
