Well I just pulled the trigger & ordered 4 new 360 games today. I haven't figured out how exactly I will play these games all that much but they were pretty cheap, about $30 each roughly & Amazon gives free shipping. One game I had to order used since it was still above the $40 for a new copy. Here are the games I ordered (drum roll please):

1. Lost Odyssey

2. Dark Sector

3. Assassin's Creed

4. Culdcept Saga

After all the talk about JRPGs coming to the 360, I figured I should finally get one & see what the fuss is all about. I don't believe I have EVER played a JRPG other than demos since I've never owned a Japanese console. I do own Septerra Core but never got into it. It just wasn't interesting. So LO is technically my first JRPG for me, subject to all others that I play in the future.

I looked at Dark Sector & it looked like fun, reminding me of Gears of War. The price wasn't that bad. Same goes for Assassin's Creed. I figured both of these are staple games for the 360 so they should be part of my collection.

The last game I was a bit chagrined about. It wasn't exactly as cheap as I'd like in new condition, but I did want to give it a try further than what the demo gave. It's pretty much hit or miss, I'm not sure how much I'll enjoy it. For those that don't know, it's a board game with trading card qualities. I've been curious as to how such a game will work. On the demo, some of the animation sequences suck but the game might be interesting nonetheless. I also hated the voice acting. It really wasn't necessary...and I hope there is a way to turn it off other than me having to press mute all the time. I may try this game first. That way if I really hate it, perhaps I can return it. However, the Collector cards for the game intrigue me, since I was a MtG player in the past.

We'll see.

should have waited mate

infinite undiscovery, ff13, vesparia etc are the ones you want

as fior dark sector, it seemed pretty generic to me. What's with all these dark games these days anyway. Dark Sector, Dark Void, Dead Space

I cant tell them apart

Well the good news is that I just got a $100 amazon gift certificate from work & I still have a Best Buy $50 certificate from last Xmas I still need to use. I'm basically just back-filling my collection of games that I didn't get to play from earlier in the year but wanted to. The prices have come down making them a reasonable bargain for new copies. So far every game has come in except for Lost Odyssey which I'm still waiting on.

As for Dark Sector, the game looks pretty interesting & Amazon was offering it new for $23-24 with free S&H. They've already increased it back to $30 now. Dark Sector has a Gears of War look & feel to it so I think I'll enjoy it & hopefully most of the glitches have been worked out.

My biggest fear right now is being consumed by Spore when that game comes out. I saw the Wil Wright presentation & that game is going to be sucking up a ton of my free time!
