So this is my first tales game. Took me a while to get into the combat but once I started to get better combos and techniques ...I got sucked in.

Oh and Yuri's awesome. Probably one of the best protagonists I've ever seen in a jrpg.

And his sidekick is a friggin dog that smokes a pipe and weilds a dagger in it's mouth!

Hell yeah!

I put down a preorder for these two bad-boys

and

(best preorder deal ever!)....I just gotta get live. I have about a year to get it running before that free original banjo kazooie on XBLA deal expires.

I also picked up Fable: the lost chapters. I beat the original and decided to trade it in and get TLC for the longer quest and extra content. I'm enjoying it thus far. It's actually running better on my 360 compared to the original fable. Not really getting any of those weird texture glitches. The slowdown is still there but its only prominent in towns where there's alot of people on screen.

Well that problem resolved itself quickly. I simply used the warranty and got a new one fresh out of the box. Now lets hope my karma's ok and it doesn't get struck with the RRoD.
