Valkyria Chronicles
MGS is an over-rated franchise for me. I beat MGS1, 2, and most of 3. Only played a little over an act of MGS4, and then some bosses later on on my friends save, and it follows the same formula. Conspiracy theory game, with a lot of ridiculous bosses (like the vampire in MGS2), silly nuclear armed dinosaur Metal Gear things, and on top of all that, the game is mostly cinematic (MGS2 was a 10 hour game for me, on my second play through skipping cinematics I beat it in 80 minutes). To me (ME!!!!!!) it's an over-rated franchise.
Valkyria Chronicles was unique, new, and fun. It was a mix between Nintendo's Advance Wars and Fire Emblem franchises imported to console with third person battle sequences. To me this is just awesome. SEGA rarely makes a good game, but when they do it's amazing, and this is their latest remarkable achievement. Really interesting plot with the Dark Haired people (similar to jews in WW2) being abused, and a German esk country taking over. Really cool ass Valkyria boss, and overall just a fun as hell game to play. My only complaints are that for an RPG this is a short game (25 hours), and that in the end the game gets really silly (SPOILER! Maximum Boss fight, Mega Tanks, enemy Valkyria basically giving up, not using your Valkyria in battle, land battleship, etc)
Still no contest, Valkyria Chronicles is the best exclusive on PS3 for me, and that's a clear cut win.
