A tactics game so good it's worth buying a PlayStation 2 for. It got released on Steam so it's a game so good it's worth buying a PC for. :)
My notes began for the PlayStation 2 version but have been checked and updated for the Steam version.

Well, it's got a sellout anime feeling to it. The graphics and sound are more cartoonish. A number of the annoyances of the first game have been hammered out, but there is a "toy" quality to the game which replaces the original gritty feeling of the original game.
My notes are for the PlayStation 2 version.

A particularly good scroll-and-slay type game. Pseudo-rpg, with character improvements via weapons and equipment.
Decent game. Has a fair amount of complexity but it's manageable. The camera controls somehow don't work for me. A bit repetitive until you get into things properly.. and then it's fun.. repetitive but fun. Crap-assed ending.

as in "thirteen"
A cartoonish shooter. The cutscene rastering makes me want to vomit, and the gameplay is fair. For $5 "like new" it was worth every penny.

Cool, but has automatic camera angles and too much button mashing.
Too much oddness for me to deal with it. God of War 2 might be worth it though, but I dunno.

Not really a tactics game, mostly stupid, very tedious, poor controls.
Properly titled Future Tactics: The Uprising

Bloody f-ing hard!
It definitely needs to be slowed down, zoomed-out and given hit points.

An action/adventure type game, with an expansive world to explore, a huge set of skills, a lot of things to do .. and is just generally fun.
Beautiful and artistic. Very forgiving gameplay. A very linear plot. Has some unfortunate mini-games that break the general style and fun.

This looks like a great game. But it feels a little not-great.
Properly titled Silpheed: The Lost Planet
