Frozen Synapse, the turn-based tactical strategy game that looks like its set inside a computer, is nearing its release on the iPad tablet. (Here's our review of the PC version we did of it nearly two years ago!)

In a post on the official Frozen Synapse Facebook Wall, the game is entering final beta by the end of thise month. There hasn't been any note on if cross-platform play will work, although it seems unlikely due to a blog post from one of the developers commenting on how cross-platform play for Frozen Synapse on other platforms would be difficult to manage.

And within that blog post, you'll notice that there is a new Frozen Synapse coming to the PS3 and Vita, titled Frozen Synapse: Tactics. This will feature a few graphical updates, while still retaining original gameplay. Below is a mocap session for the game:

Frozen Synapse: Tactics is being handled by Mode 7 development partners Double Eleven. There hasn't been any announcement on release date yet.
