Tactical RPGs
 

These are 'square based' RPGs recently made popular by Nippon Ichi with releases such as Disgaea and Phantom Brave.

Of course these types of games have been popular for quite a while now, I was really into Shining Force on my Megadrive/Genesis and Vandal Hearts on the Playstation 1 is one of my faves too.

Still there's so many I've not played yet, Final Fantasy Tactics, Suikoden Tactics and Fire Emblem being the most well known ones I guess.

So what's hot and what's not?

the only tactical RPG that i've played was "Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together" on the PS1... i thought it was pretty fun to play.
