The PS3 is my familys neglected child this generation, even the Wii gets more play time. It isn't because we're just some horrible haters who bought it so we could objectively say it sucks. No, my family never needs to prove its bias. The reason we got it was because my brother bought it, as such it is relegated to my parents house. However, even if it were at my house, it would still only be used to exclusives and Blu-Ray mostly because any game that is cross platofrm I will play on the 360 for achievements.

Anyway, the whole point of this blog is that I've got a reason to dust off the black behemoth and that reason is called Valkyria Chronicals. I know I'm a little late to the party but this was the quickest I was able to get it through gamefly. So far I've player through Chapter 2 and am really enjoying it. I am a huge tactical RPG fan, so this game is really right up my alley. I'm hoping to get enough time to finish it. I also can't wait to get snipers on my team (I played them in the demo).

The thing I think helped sell me the most is that I actually was able to just turn on the system and put in the game and play. I can't tell you how anying it is to get a game, then realise you have to update the system, then install the system update, then install the game, then download the update for the game, then install the update, then finally (after that hour or more of work) play. Those were my last experiences with Little Big Planet and Metal Gear Solid 4, but that aside at least someone knows how to make a console game for the PS3. I hope this will be the norm from now on.
