So rather than try to justify spending money on Lumines or Uncharted — both fine games but not my cup of tea — I decided I would revisit some of my favorite PSP RPGs on the Vita’s big, beautiful screen. It’s worth noting that the better-known Final Fantasy Tactics is on PSN as well, and that it has much in common with Tactics Ogre , both of them having been designed by Yasumi Matsuno. Apart from the fact that they don’t require much in the way of precise timing — a virtue on a bouncing bus — they are relatively easy to set down for long periods of time. I haven’t owned a portable gaming device since GameBoy Advanced, and I don’t plan on starting again now - but I wholeheartedly encourage everyone who does to play Tactics Ogre. read more
