I decided to ditch Blue Dragon and rent Lost Odyssey. No idea why as it's an RPG, and I have it for a week =/

Put about 6 hours into it so far, and i'm about 2/3rds of the way through disk 1. I seem to have the problem that I can only play for a couple of hours at a time, yet as soon as I shut the console down, I want to play again. It's a good game though, so that's probably why, and it seems a bit easier than Blue Dragon, as I haven't actually died yet.

Started playing Rise of the Argonauts today, only done the first mission so far but the combat so far seems fun, nice and bloody with body parts being chopped off or crushed by your various weaponry. It's an action RPG so while the action part seems ok so far, it'll probably take a little while for the RPG side to show good it is (or isn't). It's based in Greek Mythology though which I love, so I'm looking forward to putting a fair bit of time into this in the next week or so

I'm envious
I'm mainly playing Guitar Hero:Aerosmith and Mass Effect. GH:A must be incredibly easy to the likes of Davey and Creature. Even I'm getting 300ish note streaks without much difficulty. It is quite entertaining though And just unlocked one of my favourites: She Sells Sanctuary
Mass Effect I've rented again to get some more points. I forgot how pretty it is as last time I played it, I was just using my monitor. Really does look nice. Should make a good change of pace as well
Tomorrow I'll hopefully have Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon which currently I think my Mum's more excited about than me

GH:A was bought (why!), completed and returned very quickly. I feel horrified that it graced my 360. But yes, it was incredibly easy, bring on GH: Metallica with Expert+

Nah, just the week. Was getting bored of dying to the same boss over and over with seemingly no decent way to level up. Should hopefully get to disk 3 of LO, then i'll go back to it.

I did GH:A in a single session one night while waiting for some boxing to start. Went through on Hard and wished I'd done it on Expert as I didn't find it challenging at all.

Think I'll pass on GH: Metallica though, I find those songs hard enough without having an Expert+ option to kick my ass

Expert plus though is just the drums so I've read??? Is that correct. I read that the guitar is the same, but expert plus is for dual pedal.

I bet guitar is as easy as WT.

Currently got two games come through on rental. NHL07 and Cabela Big Game hunter

I love hockey games and 09 is still too expensive for my liking. Cabela is a game i've always fancied trying.

Hopefully Expert+ is for Guitar too, otherwise I can see it being beaten very quick =/

Just finished the first disk of Lost Odyssey, and my god is it a good game. Took a shade under 8 hours, which I thought was pretty good.

I remember after aerosmith came out I said that was going to be the skill level required for GHWT and no one believed me. Although I was wrong GHWT was even easier
