This one is easily good enough to warrant its own thread, so here it is. For those not aware this was easily one of the best games that ever came out on the PS3, and Sega, showing a bit of what I'd call unusual wisdom decided they owned some quality IP that could without too much effort be ported over to the PC and decided to do so.
The PC version launched yesterday and amazingly enough launched itself into the top spots on steam, for a game this old and an art style that some might find a bit off putting that's really rather amazing. It speaks to the strength of the game play, and if you enjoy turn based gaming, as I suspect some of you do, this is worth a look.
I never played it through on PS3 (which I only own because a gaming website I purchased PC games gave it to me for free in a drawing) because to be honest I'm so old school PC I owned the original IBM PC. But I've made it through a few missions so far since the launch on the PC and the console port is tolerably workable and the game play mechanic of the battles as brilliant as everyone has always raved about it.
I'll circle back to discuss as I play through it, I'm glad I picked it up before launch on sale for 13 bucks because this is looking like a true gem, I'd recommend anyone remotely interested in turn based combat pick it up even at full price (20 bucks).
