He was an innovator, a maverick. The structured forms of the traditional martial arts bored him. Discarding their outmoded model, he became the creator of a new style based not on established techniques but on the realities of combat he knew so well.

We’re already getting close to the middle of September, so it’s time to take a look at all the new turn-based RPGs and strategy games that have popped up over the past few days. Last week, one of the biggest releases I featured was actually a demo (Final Fantasy Resonance).

And with that in mind, we’re kicking things off this week…
