If you've been enjoying Mistwalker's Lost Odyssey then you're in for some good news. It would appear that Lost Odyssey just may be Microsoft's own Final Fantasy, with sequels already planned.
HMV is offering 1000 Microsoft Points to anyone pre-ordering Lost Odyssey before its release on Friday.
But they did change the review: "Editor's note 02/19/08: After posting this review GameSpot found that load times in the review version of Lost Odyssey were significantly longer than those in the retail game. We have amended the review accordingly and regret the original error."
Lost Odyssey takes top spot of the Gamefly Top Ten 'Most Queued' list. Super Smash Bros. Brawl continues it's reign at the top of the Nintendo Wii list, while PlayStation 3 gamers have Devil May Cry 4 queued up at the top.
Microsoft have teamed up with HMV.com to bring you an offer you can't miss, all you need to do is Pre-Order Lost Odyssey at HMV.com (link below) and you will get 1000 MS points for free.
Mistwalker's latest Xbox 360 RPG, Lost Odyssey, is shipping today, and GameInformer's review is almost ready for release. GameInformer caught word that there is a difference in load times between the review build GameInformer had and the final boxed version, however, so GameInformer is waiting to double-check if this is indeed the case before GameInformer posts. GameInformer's readers deserve the most accurate coverage possible, and if there is a noticeable load reduction in the retail SKU, GameInformer wants to make sure they know. GameInformer is hoping to have their review posted tomorrow-stay tuned.

Another so... so... week of releases. Near the top of the heap is Lost Odyssey (Xbox 360), Conflict: Denied Ops (Xbox 360, PS3, PC), and Professor Layton & the Curious Village (Nintendo DS).
Gamers in Hong Kong can pick up Lost Odyssey at Toys 'R Us and show the receipt to a local Mos Burger to receive a gift. The Japanese fast food chain is teaming up with Microsoft to promote Lost Odyssey with Kaim concept art covered meals.
Eurogamer has confirmed that the recently released Asian version of Lost Odyssey can be played in English and works on PAL Xbox 360 consoles. Well, Dave McCarthy confirmed it. He's excitedly playing through it at the moment, the look of love on his face, the semi-regular spinning initiation of random battles probably reflected in a glassy stare of concentration and affection. Unless it's rubbish, obviously.
