From the review: "Their latest, Gungnir, is the 9th game in the Dept. Heaven line of titles, which included past games like Riviera and Yggdra Union. Fans of tactical RPGs like Final Fantasy Tactics and Jeanne d'Arc will find plenty to enjoy in Gungnir, provided they can get past the crushing difficulty that almost completely unravels the experience."
Oprainfall begins their Game of the Year coverage with best DS game, best PSP game, Hottest Guy, Hottest Gal, Best Hero, and Best Villain.
The big upcoming release is Borderlands 2 and we've found a sale on the DLC subscription so you can be ready when those extras start rolling out. None of the big three (Best Buy, Gamestop, Amazon) have the console versions discounted, so you'll probably only find deals if you're looking for the PC download. Elsewhere, you can get the new NHL 13 collector's edition for the same price as the standard edition, and Green Man Gaming is really showing THQ some love.
In Norse tradition, Gungnir is the mighty spear wielded by Odin. On the PSP, it’s a newly-Americanized Japanese Strategy RPG brought to North America by Atlus. With its focus on grid-based gameplay and strategy, Gungnir does offer something different for PSP gamers, and that alone makes it worth the attention of JPRG fans.
