Question about Mercs II:
Church, I heard the 360 version recently got a patch, by any chance do you know what it did if anything? I've been tempted to buy Mercs 2 but it sounds unfinished even after they delayed the game a few months.
Tales of Vesperia (360) 9/10
This is my favorite Tales game to date. The first thing I'm greatful for is they took the battle system from Abyss and improved it, making it the best Tales battle system to date. The cast is also solid and while a few clichés did pop up it didn't seem to distract from the story. Graphics are good and I love the presentation, but be warned the game is cel-shaded. Very strong entry into the 360 RPG market.
(I do believe this Tales is a full point, at least, better than Tales of the Abyss but the game isn't a perfect 10. My Abyss scored has been updated to reflect my feelings toward both games)
