Folklore
Finally finished playing this game over the weekend so I would have room for Valkyria Chronicles. I have to say this is one beautiful game! The graphics are gorgeous, the story is intriguing, the gameplay interesting, but the icing on the cake is definitely the music. The title theme is one of my favorites, if not my favorite. Seriously, I always wait until it finishes before loading my game, it's that moving. In general there's just a lot of emotion and feeling in the musical pieces in the game.
The graphics are neat too but the part I like the most after the music is the gameplay. You acquire powers in the game by yanking the souls out of the creatures you encounter! When I say yank I literally mean you yank them out, using the motion sensitive PS3 controller. Most creatures you can just flick the controller up and you'll acquire them. Some bigger creatures you have to violently shake the controller up and down or repeatedly slam them into the ground by twisting the controller left and right, it's quite fun actually. :) Once you acquire creatures you assign them to buttons on the controller to attack with them. They all behave differently from each other so picking a good combination of creatures to use is fun.
I was looking at previews for a game called Flower to come out, hopefully sometime this year, that has me excited to get. One of the things I loved about Folklore was its ability to evoke feelings in me with its combination of graphics, music, and storytelling. Flower seems like a game like that. From what I can tell now you just move flowers in the wind and create music. :P Sounds simple and silly maybe, but the people who reviewed it were gushing over it, and when I saw the video I kinda was too.
