Review Guidelines + Lost Odyssey First Impressions

Well, it's taken a few days to get organized but I'm finally ready to start working for real on this blog. I wanted to start off by stating how my reviews will work. I have all the current and last gen systems except for the PS3 so my reviews will cover everything but the PS3 for now (unless i play a game suitably at a friends house, I might write a review for it). As for my gaming area, I play on a semi-decent TV, about 28" but I do not have HD in it so I won't be able to give you the full extent of the graphical power for most games. I have quite a bit of reviewing experience too, working for a few gaming websites (all unfortunately defunct now) and I reviewed several games on a previous account. All in all, I hope to provide the best reviews possible so that you can make informed decisions on games. Obviously, these reviews are not going to be perfect and are simply one opinion. I highly suggest you look at more reviews than just mine before deciding to pay for a game. Finally, the game I'm working on now. I am currently playing Lost Odyssey for the Xbox 360. It seems to be a pretty great RPG but standard in a lot of ways. While it does have a few new twists to the gameplay including a timing mini-game whenever you attack, most of the features have been done before. Also, some decisions were made about this game that seem incredibly dated. For example, I would have thought random encounters would have died off long ago but Lost Odyssey maintains them. That being said, the graphics are amazing and the characters/storyline all seem very interesting. I'm excited to play through it and can hopefully give you a good review when I'm finished. Peace friends!
