Preview: Valkyria Chronicles II

<p> With lengthy battles and no checkpoints, I&#39;ve always felt the PS3-exclusive Valkyria Chronicles would be better suited for a handheld system. The ability to put the game to sleep without having to stick a battle out or quit in the middle (the cause of many tensions when on a schedule) is a necessary feature for a game that puts the player in battles that often take a minimum of one hour to complete -- not including retries. To my elation, the sequel will be released for the PSP, set for August 31st, and the demo was just put up on the PSN store. The developers claim it has the same gameplay as the first in the series with improvements, despite being put on a less powerful system, and from what the demo exhibits they&#39;re right.</p>

Recently, I’ve been able to sit down with the PC version of EA’s latest attempt to reclaim the FPS throne, Medal of Honor. Even though the game is still in beta, it's possible to tell EA that has its sights set on bringing down the current FPS king, Modern Warfare 2.

Recently, I’ve been able to sit down with the PC version of EA’s latest attempt to reclaim the FPS throne, Medal of Honor. Even though the game is still in beta, it's possible to tell EA that has its sights set on bringing down the current FPS king, Modern Warfare 2.

It is worth noting that Medal of Honor is being built using 2 distinct engines and by 2 different development teams within EA, the Unreal Engine for single player by EA LA and the Frostbite Engine by EA DICE (known for the Battlefield series).
