Blue Dragon

Xbox 360 fans, namely the ones we're totally not friends with, have been whining about the lack of decent role-playing games on the machine. Well, Blue Dragon should shut those bastards up for a good 50 or 60 hours at least. The story is your typical paint-by-numbers RPG narrative: Some kids get magic powers, then they are joined by a cat-like creature, and they meet some monsters, then they meet an old dude, then they meet more monsters, more old dudes, fly around in an airship (don't ask), meet an old woman, more cat-like creatures, monsters, old dudes, etc. THE END. See? We just saved you 50 or 60 hours. If only the story was more original, or one of the female character removed her top once in awhile, or if the box was made of candy, we might have had a better time enduring the game's three-disc length.
