"When filmmakers and game designers are in the beginning stages of building a fantasy world and need someone to jumpstart the project with some breathtaking visuals, they often turn to Christian Lorenz Scheurer. The Los Angeles-based Swiss artist recently posted some of his sketches and early production art for Mistwalker's Lost Odyssey."

With Lost Odyssey finally released in the U.S, the packaging isn't identical as people would think it is to the Asian version. Plus since it's an Xbox 360 game, the game comes on four discs which reminds us of the PSX generation when were playing any of the Final Fantasy games or back when Shenmue was released on Dreamcast.

The packaging comes crammed with four discs. Three discs are stacked while the fourth is in a papered envelope. The Asian version had a much better solution which is to...

Well, this was originally the week Super Smash Bros. Brawl was supposed to drop, at least until the delay happened. However, what that means is that the games released this week aren't sent to die, and that's a good thing, right?

The two games I'm looking most forward to this week are the two in the title: Lost Odyssey (360) and Professor Layton and the Curious Village (NDS). Lost Odyssey is another RPG designed by Mistwalker, headed by the man who created Final Fantasy, Hironobu Sakaguc...

"Australian game site GamePlayer is reporting that if expectant consumers do not pre-order Lost Odyssey prior to release, they will not actually receive the game in its entirety.

It's another zany sales week in Japan, with DS and Wii sales shooting through the roof in a Nintendo-dominated top ten, and some weird and disheartening PSP sales.

There was a flip-flop at the top of the rankings, as this week's top seller was last week's #2, Mario Party DS, selling 180k units. The #2 seller is last week's #1, Wii Fit, with 124k units sold. Rounding out the top five is the only non-DS/Wii game in the top ten, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue (PS3 - 116k - BD Version), Professor L...

In the recent Famitsu issue here are the top 20 games most wanted from Japan's biggest games magazine. It's a really interesting list as what dominates the list in being No.1 is Dragon Quest IX for the Nintendo DS and then followed by Final Fantasy XIII which was at No.1. Third place comes the highly anticipated Resident Evil 5. A list containing top notch games. Too bad only one game from 360 makes it.

Speculation is currently looming over what Microsoft will be offering at the Tokyo Games Show tomorrow for there Xbox 360. Rumours build up from a great line up of products with the likes off Konami's Winning Eleven, Microsoft Game Studio's Halo 3, Koei's Blade Storm and Square Enix's The Last Remnant including many more. But I guess we will find out tomorrow for sure.

"In a recent, lengthy interview, FeelPlus president Ray Nakazato revealed several details about the upcoming Mistwalker RPG, Lost Odyssey.
