How Valkyria Chronicles Got Me Addicted To A Japanese Social Game

Before last year, I had never seriously played a social game. I was never interested in Bejeweled or Farmville (as the later just seemed to be a lazy version of Harvest Moon to me) or any other Facebook/mobile game.


You Got Your Manga In My Game!

One of the most interesting things about Capcom’s Lost Planet spin-off E.X. Troopers is its art style. Like more than a few games, it has cel-shaded graphics and bright colours which give off a distinct and beautiful look. But what makes E.X. Troopers stand out is how committed it is to being a manga-in-motion.


The Valkyria Chronicles 3 Anime Is So True To The Game, I Forgot I Wasn’t Playing It

As I’ve said before, I was a fan of the Valkyria Chronicles series from the moment I first saw its debut trailer. Not only was it beautiful but also it got me, a man who never liked strategy games growing up, to spend countless hours on them. I love the series (though VC2 has more than its share of problems) and picked up Valkyria Chronicles 3 the first day it came out in Japan — not for work, but for pleasure.


Valkyria Chronicles 3 Fan-Made Translation Patch In The Works

Last week we showed you how to play Valkyria Chronicles 3, even if you don’t understand Japanese, using a collection of translations and guides from across the internet.

Valkyria Chronicles: Where Histories Diverge

Historical fiction is one of those concepts that gaming handles best. Whether it’s Einstein building a time machine to kill Hitler or assassins battling Templars in the Renaissance, gaming alone among popular media allows people to interact with a world both familiar yet radically different from our own. Valkyria Chronicles is one of the best examples of historical fiction in gaming–and like all good historical fiction, there is generally one single thing that causes the world to diverge from established history into a newly conceived, intriguing world.


How to Play Valkyria Chronicles 3 Even if You Don’t Speak Japanese

In the year-and-a-half since the Japanese release of Valkyria Chronicles 3, it’s become painfully apparent that it will not be leaving Japanese shores–at least in the foreseeable future. If you are one of the many fans of the series dying to play the newest Valkyria Chronicles, fear not! You are not alone.


Valkyria Chronicles 3 Is The Best Game Of The Series

From the moment I laid eyes on the first Valkyria Chronicles’ trailer, I knew it would be a game I would love — for the art style, if nothing else. As it turned out, the graphics, while as beautiful as I had expected, were only one part of a great game.


There’s A New Valkyria Chronicles Game, But Don’t Get Excited Just Yet

It’s a browser game. Yeah. But it’s still a new Valkyria Chronicles game….just one for your browser. Make that, a virtual card-based Valkyria Chronicles game for your browser.


Curvy General With A Curvy Figure (GEDDIT?)

If you’ve played war game Valkyria Chronicles or seen the anime, you probably know Selvaria Bles. She’s the part of the game’s Empire faction. And like any good Brigadier General, she has good command of her troops and her swimwear.


The Sexy, Scribbly Art Of Valkyria Chronicles

You wouldn’t think a turn-based strategy game would be the type to be called “beautiful”, but that’s exactly what cult 2008 PS3 title Valkyria Chronicles was.
