Bladestorm: The Hundred Years' War (Playstation 3, 2007)

An early title for the PS3 it didn't do much to show off the graphical capabilities of it, think on par with later final fantasy games for the most part, however it did deliver a fantastic story along with a great system for levelling up different unit types. Throughout the game there was always an element of challenge with a healthy does of fun strategy and hack and slash when you wanted to (just go solo!). With dozens upon dozens of items to loot and use and equip yourself with the planning for missions could be extremely involved. This one's definitely worth a play for anyone who has a bit of time and can find a copy, there's nothing like taking over an entire country side for the French and then siding with the English and taking it back all over again. :)

The sounds and sound track were fantastic even if the graphics weren't quite up to par with what people expected on PS3, on that note the graphics were still pretty good.

Controls are fluid though take some getting used to when moving units instead of just your own body, and horses are a challenge to control in Melee but they should be! Pay attention to the hints and you'll have no trouble.
