Valkyria is not an Action RPG, it is a strategy RPG. An action RPG would be something more like Kingdom Hearts or Dark Cloud.

Well I took that information from IGN that says Valkyria Chronicles is an Action RPG

nice choices..but waaaaaaaaaay to early to be calling this



Torillian on 21 May 2009

Well I really don't see how they could think that other than the ability to move people around when it is their turn. IGN is incorrect.

IGN is wrong and it isnt the first..Sonic is a platformer but they always have it in the Action genre

To be honest that is actually a pretty fair list, I enjoyed Soul Caliber over Street Fighter but that's because I got to play as Yoda when I played :) and then as the apprentice on my friend's PS3.

Your pretty rounded and fair I think, of course some people will always complain.

My only qualm with the list is the racing category. I've never been a big fan of racers that try to be super realistic so perhaps my view is skewed but I think MKWii is the best racer I've played in about 10 years.



Currently dreaming of: DKC4 or Sonic the Hedgehog 4 (classic 2D platformers) for WiiWare, Smash Bros. for DSi, New Super Mario World for DSi, a Wii remake or true sequel of Final Fantasy Tactics.

One down, hopefully more awesomeness to come.

Fallout 3 is way better than Oblivion.

What I would change would be:

FPS: Killzone 2

JRPG: The Last Remnant or Star Ocean 4 (Controversial games, but very good games in my eyes...but don't worry Final Fantasy XIII will take the crown) TPS: Gears of War 2

Fallout 3 over Oblivion.

I would probably give Uncharted runner-up for TPS.

Everything else looks good so far.
