This week continues the onslaught of JRPGs

Infinite Undiscovery

Pick of the Week

Infinite Undiscovery (Xbox360):

This new Square-Enix Published, Tri-Ace developed game is the first in S-E's attempt to break into the Xbox360 as well as new IP in a company known for storied franchises such as Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy. Combat is similar to Tales of Vesperia in that is separated from overworld movement, but is realtime. Actually, like Vesperia, it does bear some parentage in the classic Tales of Phantasia.

Fans of Square Enix games as well as Action RPG fans should not miss this. Even if you aren't a Final Fantasy junkie, it's become a trend to expect great things from Original IP games from Square-Enix (The World Ends With You being the most recent example)
