The embargo for our Tactics Ogre Reborn hands-on preview lifted late on Friday night, so we didn’t have time to do an article for it here (we were off celebrating our IT Journo Lizzies Award win).

I also chat about why this game means so much to me, and what it might mean for this often-overlooked property in the future.
So, in case you missed the video over on our YouTube channel, here ya go:
