So a few days ago it was announced that Atlus will be supporting the Xbox 360, which in my opinion means a pretty big push in filling the system up with a variety of titles. Atlus not only has fiddled with plenty of Japanese RPG’s, including the highly successful Ogre Battle/Tactics Ogre games and the awesome yet not-nearly-loved-enough Contact, but plenty of other titles of various genres. It should give gamers more than the ultra realistic to look forward to, and here are two titles already announced to help push that forward.

Spectral Force 3, a strategy RPG set in a fantasy realm of ten kingdoms each trying to unify the country…under their own banner. You, the lead character, are a member of a team of mercenaries hired by one of the kingdoms and soon find yourself in command. The game is set to feature over 50 hours of gameplay with 150+ missions, over 40 characters to recruit and the ability to craft items of your own.
Operation Darkness takes place in the constantly overused WWII era, but hey, now there’s a fantasy element! Not to mention it’s Japanese, so its bound to be all kinds of crazy different from all of the realistic WWII shooters. In this turn-based RPG you lead a team of elite troops seeking to take down Hitler. The strategic system will require you to make the best of your character’s abilities, as well as the environment.

Both games are slated to come out in 2008.
