So what's going on in the world of tactics games this month? Not much apparently.
Valkyria Chronicles 3 customization video. It looks like you can buy weapons from a shop, a first for the VC series. Next up there's tank upgrading. Nothing has really changed here. Hopefully there's no imbalancing tank parts available like in VC2. Nextyou can see the class upgrade and class change systems. Class changing shouldn't be a gamble like VC2s upgrade system. Finally there's the character advancement board.
Aquaplus has announced new games in the Tears to Tiara and Utawarerumono series for PS3. Neither of these series have ever been to NA.
More details on Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars for 3DS. According to developer Julian Gollop (creator of X-Com), "You have 6 characters you control, each with unique abilities and equipment. You can level them up, gaining abilities and more equipment options." and "During missions you have various allies, and a whole variety of objectives - rescuing prisoners, blowing up bridges and trains, assassinating key villains, and so on. The tactical system, and the way the weapons work, have a bit more of a 'Advance Wars' feel - indirect launchers, area effect, EMP grenades, etc. There is a unique 'support fire' mechanic." Sounds like a bit more like Super Robot Wars to me than Advance Wars.

Chess grandmasters use twice the brain. MRI scans reveal that chess grandmasters use both sides of their brain to analyze and solve complex chess puzzles. Next time you're speaking to a chess (or video gaming) noob, you can now accurately call them half-brained. I wonder what other genres or games that this full-brained approach applies to?
