did you actually buy/rent/play those games? I'm confused because of reading the Valkyria Chronicles section. Anyways, not every game is for everyone, so no surprise you don't like some of them. Seems like you really should buy tactical strategy games though

Anyways, the one game I fell for hype for was Zack & Wiki. If it wasn't for the fact that they move so slow I would have liked the game. But dieing right at the end and then painfully having to redo everything just annoyed me.

I tend to not rent games now.  I go out and buy them.  Valk. Chronicles was on sale for $30, so I decided to take a shot on it. I thought I might get into it, because I like strategy titles, and this kinda fit.  I think I should avoid games that you micromanage the equipment of more than one character.

I never bothered with that in VC. Just assigned everyone the same weapon. I did use some of the Ace weapons though. I can't even be bothered to use more than 1 very small set of characters either. I had fun messing around with my tank settings though, but I didn't really change those either other than the best accuracy/power possible.
