with all the talk about Dungeons and Dragons Tactics lately, I went digging for other PSP games on Gamespot and found this, which looks quite interesting:

In other news, I bought a PSP. I'll try getting a hold on field commander to see how it looks.

If you can get your head around the weird combination of collectible card game and turn based tactical combat game, Metal Gear Acid is a lot of fun.

I would welcome a good justification why I bought the PSP, played some Golf, Lumines and Wipeout and it's collecting dust for some time now. Please give a Field Commander review asap.. I've been told the single player mode sucks because of really stupid AI and boring good-guy suitable for children scenario and story. Hope it's not true.. hmmm.. but it would be no real surprise.

Sounds about right. I've had fun with it, but it's not been a challenge yet. Think more Advance Wars and less Battle Isle or Panzer General.

A new tactical jrpg comes out next week called Spectral Souls, maybe it won't be teh suck.

The reason a review hasn't been forthcoming is that I got the game three days ago. :)

My initial impressions after the three tutorial scenarios and the first mission of the campaign. It's *exactly* like Advance Wars, except in shitty 3D and a lot less style. Mind, I *like* Advance Wars, so don't see this as a negative impression, but I sure as hell hope something comes up later on to distance the two titles, because if it remains a pure clone my opinion will go into the negative because of the sheer lazyness this game represents.
