PS3 games I do find promising...

[REIA]

Valkyria Chronicles.

Completely sh*ts all over EVERY other PS3 game apart from MGS4.

LOL that was one game that I was going to add in my next post.

Senjou no Valkyria - Gallian chronicles (Is the version I received, includes an artbook, the OST and an Edelweiss remote controlled toy for 90 bucks).

This game has really unique aspects that makes it way promising as the top scoring games, but game reviewers didnt score it more than 8 becuz of the graphics. These unique aspects are the universe and storyline, it fits in a fictional world in a world war II themed event. The story is based on a militia liutenant called Welkin Gunther who accepts the duty to join the military and fight to prevent a small nation called Gallia be swallowed by a might of two giant factions. Unlike usual strategy games, the storyline here is treated more like a novel (almost aiming a love story with his minor at charge, Sargeant Alicia Melchiot) instead of a documental narration like. Taking the responsibility of a 20 soldiers squad called Squad 7 you must venture into top risk operations to push away any threats in the nation of Gallia.
The Gameplay is turn based, 8 soldiers and tanks, the rules are unique, the strategies must be choosed wisely but aren't hard to plan. Your troops can be upgraded depending on your performance on the missions, the upgrades can make them have more combat features than the starting ones, for example adding additional weapons to them or changing the weapons type which is just handy in a strategy game guaranteeing wise use making your small squad defeat entire enemies armies.
Quality wise the game cannot be marked as a graphical game like Metal Gear or the others, this game starts off with an first made in time 100% watercolored anime enviroment, involving not only the graphics, but the special effects and character aspects. The storytelling of this game is RPG like, which involves a lot of character talking each other, unlike RPGs they count with 3D mugshots that can express any possible expression known in anime, making it more fun to watch unlike usual RPGs using a 3-10 expresion images set or simply having none. The japanese voice actors are pretty well known and good doing their roles if you are an anime loving person as well, making a good providing to the storytelling.
Difficulty wise, ENEMY FORCES OUTNUMBERS YOURS! don't go without a plan, the game indeed have coolish maps, that can render both difficulty and advantage, unique events and objectives gives a certain challenge factor that you didn't seen in usual strategy games. The game also counts with bosses that requires quite tactics to defeat them, not only knowing their weak point and exploiting, guaranteeing enough challenge for those difficulty lovers.
