Hello pixlbit sorry I haven't been around to much lately, but I have been playing Tales of Xillia in aanticipaion of Tales of Xillia 2, any who wanted to share this fantastic WW2 game I picked up on the 360 digital only for a hefty $30 but trust me its worth it first off it has over a 100 scenarios in around 14 campaigns and has a comic book art style and this is a very unique game in the sense I have never played a game with the comic style art in the game kind of like the Art in the ps2s Heroes of the Pacific but anyway read this about it to see if its something you may like but trust me on this, its worth the $30 price tag.
