''Microsoft should be applauded for managing to turn its Xbox brand into a juggernaut in such a short period of time. Despite going up against both Sony and Nintendo, Microsoft has managed to carve itself a healthy share of the console kingdom. Unfortunately, as good at the Xbox 360 is, it does have a few weaknesses, such as the overall lack of RPGs. Oh, you get a few here and there, ranging from the lackluster Endless Arms to the fun Lost Odyssey, but they're the rare oasis in the 360's RPG desert. Thankfully, popular niche company Atlus, who is known for releasing obscure but often excellent RPGs to the American market, is taking its first shot at the Xbox 360 with Operation Darkness.
Operation Darkness opens in the early days of World War II with two British army soldiers, Edward Kyle and Jude Lancelot. When their first mission goes sour, Edward and Jude are the only survivors of their unit, and Edward is critically wounded by a surprise attack. At the last minute, he's saved by a passing Major James Gallant, who gives Edward a blood transfusion to save his life. However, Edward's salvation comes with a side effect because Major Gallant is a werewolf. Gallant is part of Winston Churchill's elite supernatural task force, the Wolf Pack, that's been assigned to counter Hitler's own supernatural forces. Since Edward has a bit of werewolf blood in him now, he also gains a bevy of supernatural powers, and he and Jude are promptly assigned to Wolf Pack. Before long, they end up battling their way behind the scenes of the biggest events of WWII, doing everything from stopping Victor Von Frankenstein III from helping the Germans launch an atomic bomb to preventing Hitler's elite vampire squadron from resurrecting the deceased Count Dracula.''
RPGs are great, but it takes a lot of dedication to finish most of them. Here are six PS3 and Xbox 360 RPGs Gamemoir's Nick never saw the credits of.
