And I have to say, of the 3 hours I've played, it is the mostartistically beautiful game I have ever seen. It's graphics may not be of Gears of War or Bioshock level, but art-wise, it is amazing. The colors, the cell shading, everything, it's like playing Tales of Symphonia (my favorite RPG of last gen) all over again, but on a more powerful system and shinier graphics. If you don't take my word for it, just take a look at the screenshots, the artstyle, while anime-ish, is beautifully done, and the environments are amazing. I'll probably end up reviewing it once I've beaten it.

In other news, if my preorder went through and fine, I should be getting Halo 3 within the next week hopefully. I was never a big Halo fan honestly, but Halo 3, I have to admit, looks like something truly special. With 4 player co-op, fantastic looking multiplayer, and Forge, this is the first Halo game I've ever actually been somewhat excited about.

Man, with Metroid Prime 3, Eternal Sonata, Halo 3, Mass Effect, SSBB, Mario Galaxy, The Orange Box, and much more, this holiday season looks to be a very good one.
