LOST ODYSSEY

This game is huge! hitting you right from opening the box,hitting you with its four discs,its obvious that getting to the end is going to take time,and lots of it.
Cut scenes are plentiful with you not being able to walk 10 minutes without seeing some sort of cutscene or text heavy dream sequence,but these just fill out the main story.the characters are likable and the story is dramatic and often emotional.for the first half of the game the story is on rails but hit the fourth disc and the whole map is open to you.grinding the levels is a must as is the same with most rpg's but certain areas make it easier to level up.
easily passable as a contender for the final fantasy crown and definately the best rpg on the 360.
If you do choose to take this game up,make sure you have plenty of time on you're hands.

RAINBOW SIX VEGAS2

I wasn't even going to bother with this one after seeing videos,mainly because the graphics aint any improvement on the last installment and it didn't look like it was offering anything new,but to my surprise it turns out to be a bigger improvement than it first looks.
single player is easier than the last,although it is short and the new sprint function makes the time spent going through the levels much quicker.theres a few sections where you have to defend a location but none are as hard as the theater section in the first game.The co op function is a lot more functional this time round,although its better to let someone else host if you're going through realistic difficulty for the achievement.
the ranking system is better in my opinion though as exp gained in single player is added to a grand total,so with enough playing you could get to elite without ever touching multiplayer.
A lot of people are unhappy with the multiplayer side of the game,mainly because theres a lot of spawn camping,but to be fair i'm enjoying it in much the same way as i enjoy call of duty 4.
The achievements are glitched though,so the full 1000 is gonna be a little tricky until an update,but don't let this put you off..It is a good game even though it doesn't feel like a new game,and you don't actually spend a lot of time in casino's.

Army of two

one word sums this up.....short.
the campaign is way too short,in a rental period i had completed it 3 times(once on each difficulty)and was left feeling cheated.This is a big disappointment because it is such a good game,the single player can be a bit frustrating mainly because the AI is quite basic,but get a partner in co-op and it s a whole new ball game.working as a team feels natural,the controls are fluid,and the gameplay is a lot more fun than gears of war.The difficulty levels are hard in places but with a decent strategy it doesnt seem too bad and after a few tries at some sections.
If they decide to release a sequel i just hope it lasts a lot longer.
Multiplayer is ok,nothing outstanding,but coupled with the fact that theres not a lot of people playing this online,it all makes a refreshing change to not have to wory about other teams too much cos the objectives are where the money is and theres plenty for everyone.
As soon as there is copies available i will be buying this just because its so fun to play.

LOST:VIA DOMUS

I went out and bought this one mainly because im a big fan of the lost series and from what id seen prior to release looked ok.After 2 sessions id completed the game and was left with a feeling of disappointment,dont get me wrong it a good game but it is way too short.the achievements are easy if you know what to look for,but the puzzles(although only 3 or so types)are quite frustrating at times especially towards the end.It is nice however to play a more sedately paced game after the month or so of frantic cod4 playing.
my advice is to rent this though rather than buy.
