Gallian Shock trooper Kevin Abbot fell on the field of battle at 3:25 PM today. He was brutally murdered by an Imperial shock trooper as he lie wounded near the enemy's base. He fought valiantly as a part of Gallian Militia Squad 7 in many battles, and gave his life to protect his fellow troopers Rosie and Jane. He was swiftly avenged by Lt. Gunther, who enraged at Kevin's death, rammed his way through numerous obstacles to shoot down the murderer with his tank's machine gun. Kevin will be missed.
All kidding aside. Valkyria chronicles continues to amaze me. I really am saddened by the fact that I lost kevin. He wasn't a main character or anything, just another foot soldier. SEGA injected enough personality into every character, no matter how minor that I actually care when they die. I applaud them for making death a permanent thing. It gives you pause without taking away from the fun of the game. I have played a lot of turn based strategy games over the years. I've always been ruthless about using my troops as cannon fodder, but I simply can't do that in Valkyria chronicles! If you have a PS3, you have got to play this game.
