About Me

Old-school gamer. I started gaming with the Atari 2600. I became an addict with the arcade release of Street Fighter II at my college. The SNES release pushed me into buying that system and a lame arcade stick. I haven't looked back since then. I still consider the 16-bit to be the Golden Age of gaming. The current generation is keeping me pretty happy, especially with the fighting game renaissance that's happening lately. And, yes, I'm old.

Even more Valkyria nilcam | 2:06 PM on 11.12.2008 9 comments

Valkyria has taken over my life. It seems that once a generation, I am completely enamored with a (non fighting*) game. In the SNES era, it was Chrono Trigger. During the PSOne era, it was Suikoden. On the Gamecube, it was SD Gundam Gashapon Wars. On the GBA, it was Advance Wars. In the current home console generation, it is Valkyria. I have not played any other game in the past week and I constantly find myself thinking about strategies with each class. This is, most likely, my game of the year. I even ordered some of the trading figures last night. This is the game that I will compare all strategy games to in the future. It's that good. *Fighting games are a constant obsession of mine and can be played for short periods of time. That's why I'm differentiating them from other games.
