Special version of Famitsu magazine dedicated to Xbox 360 has some new reviews in the latest issue:

Soul Calibur IV (Xbox 360, Bandai Namco): 9 / 9 / 8 / 8 - (34/40)
Mobile Suit Gundam: Operation: Troy (Xbox 360, Bandai Namco): 7 / 7 / 6 / 7 - (27/40)
Tales of Vesperia (Xbox 360, Bandai Namco): 9 / 9 / 8 / 8 - (34/40)
NBA 2K8 (Xbox 360, 2K Sports): 7 / 7 / 8 / 7 - (29/40)

Tales of Vesperia and Soul Caliber IV got the same reviewscores.
Thoughts?

Things are finally really starting to turn around for the 360 in Japan, much deserved.

Looks good for Vesperia. Symphonia 2 got 31 (from th ereal Famitsu though, we'll have to wait for that score.)

Anyway this is a nice score, I hope it will be reviewed well in other places. This might be a system seller for me, and everything that helps me in making the PS3 or 360 decision is very welcome.

GAH!!!

I wish Benga would just buy a 360 already, the suspense is killing me.

OT: This game sounds better than I expected. Too bad PAL has to wait till 2009

I don't see why you wouldn't get a 360 if you like all of these JRPGs. You can always pick up a PS3 later if you really feel like you're missing anything.

What?!!?!?

You're teasing me I hope...

Not bad score but I still wonder about Famitsu (still smarting from their Haze 34/40 score).

If you mean the 2009 release, its true. I cried alot too.

But... We speak English! How can they do this to us? :(

I'm pretty sure I won't buy a 360 and a PS3, since 90% of the games will come to both platforms. And I seriously don't have enough time to validate 3 consoles.

Really the only thing holding me back from buying a 360 is the quality of the hardware. I always buy quality stuff and I hate it when things break down. My most wanted games are multiplat anyway: RE5, Beyond Good & Evil 2 and FF13.

But Star Ocean, Lost Odysse, Blue Dragon, Vesperia, IU etc are definitely on my list of games I really would like to play and I do consider the 360 library superior to PS3's, but PS3's don't die.
