For a lot of people out there, Valkyria Chronicles isn't even on the radar as a good game. In fact, most people will tell you it's a movie starring Cruise, set during the second world war and is about the conspiracy to assassinate Hitler.

Valkyria Chronicles is a PS3 game released last year and flopped massivly in sales. However, it is also regarded as one of the best strategy/ RPG's on the platform. The game is set in Europa, a fictional version of Europe, in 1935. Because of its abundance of Ragnite Ore, which can be refined into a powerful fuel, the neutral nation of Gallia comes under attack from the East Europan Imperial Alliance, which is itself engaged in a war with the Atlantic Federation. Players take control of an uprising of Gallian nationals, dedicated to repelling the invasion. The game's visuals, which feature SEGA's CANVAS graphics engine, has received a lot of attention - with CANVAS, the game's entire graphical style is built to resemble a watercolor painting in motion.

The game however, is now out of print. If you want to get your hands on it then Ebay is the easiest option. But each copy sells for a ridiculously high price tag...

So if you havn't amanged to get your hands on the game, have no fear. An Anime was announced a few weeks back, and it is set to air in spring 2009. That's by the end of this month!

Judging from the image above, the anime may not be too shabby at all. I’m actually liking it so far. Looks like it won’t be much different from the game and the quality looks great.
