Tales of Vasperia - JRPG - August 26th About the game: A bold new interpretation of the elements that made the Tales series a hit with gamers around the world, Tales of Vesperia delivers a standard-setting RPG experience on the Xbox 360. Using an all-new graphics engine and character designs by the renowned Kosuke Fujishima (Ah! My Goddess, Sakura Taisen), the game delivers high-quality HD character models and environments that are indistinguishable from traditional cel-based anime. The game also makes significant additions to the series’ trademark real-time combat system, allowing players to do battle in massive battlefields and learn new special attacks that are tied to individual weapons. New finishing blows allow players to take down enemies in a single hit with correctly timed button combinations, while mission-based battles increase the variety of each encounter as players gain unique items by fulfilling various battle objectives. Players can also use materials collected by successfully executing finishing moves to craft rare and unique equipment for their characters.

Posts: 425 | I agree with most except Endwar, Racing games, Guitar Hero and World at War. Reasoning: Endwar, and racing games not a fan of either genre. Guitar hero.. I like Rock Band :] And World at War because I can't believe they're going back to World Wars. EDIT: I'll give Endwar a shot anyway.
