Valkyria Chronicles is stunningly unique in both visuals and strategic game design. A blend of calligraphy, Manga and war-time show reels, it looks like it plays - like nothing else on the PlayStation 3.

There's a moment in Dark Void when the mythos of the Void world, the history of the Bermuda Triangle and the shadow of World War Two come together and create a brief instant of epic storytelling.

When Capcom released the original Resident Evil it captivated me. Each subsequent game in the franchise has had me looking for that magic of the first game.
