There's a good game in here somewhere, I just can't find it...
Deep Black Reloaded is an upgraded PC port of an Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network title that hasn't been released yet. We're just firing on all cylinders right from the get-go, aren't we?
Although already leaked, the official announcement has now been made.

Namco Bandai's Latest Takes the Series In A Slightly New Direction.
Many Tales fans feared that we would never see Tales of Graces on U.S. soil. It has been three years since the Japanese Wii release and two years since the release of the enhanced PS3 port, Tales of Graces f. Though it looked unlikely, Namco Bandai announced last year that we in the U.S. would officially be getting Tales of Graces f and that we would be getting the best possible version of the game. Tales of Graces f may not be on the radar of many gamers, but people interested in the JRPG genre should definitely look out for this.
Fantastic co-op saves what is otherwise a forgettable journey to the near future.
In a world without Deus Ex: Human Revolution I might be more kind to Syndicate. In that world Syndicate’s central concepts and general aesthetic presentation may appear more original - less derivative of a previously released game that did a far better job of creating a plausible, near future setting where the lines separating humanity and artificiality aren’t quite as clear as they are today. In that world Syndicate would be far more enjoyable, if only due to the lack of any real competition. It is good that we do not live in that world; it is not so good for Syndicate.
This will include all of the DLC for the game.
