Not too long after Google released 16 games on Google+, Facebook announced it was making some changes of its own when it comes to its gaming platform. The way we see and interact with games is being redesigned to give developers a better chance at gaining more users. Among the changes is a ticker that shows what your friends are doing in games as it happens and bookmarks.

Valkyria was one of those games that was released in the holiday launch storm between Fable 2, Fallout 3, Little Big Planet and Gears of War 2.

Valkyria’s retail chronicles didn’t turn tin a happy ending and the as-niche-as-it-gets game ended up getting pummeled, ensuring that either Sega learned its lesson about launch windows or that the company won’t be taking another risk any time soon. Which would be sad considering how good Valkyria Chronicles is.
