Oh man, this looks so cool.  I had no interest in XBox 360 until a minute ago, but now I may get one for this game:

I knew I bought a 360 for a reason.

The coolest part is that finally a developer is using all the next-gen features to create something unique and stylish, as opposed to just OMG SO REALISTIC

It's hard to imagine that Yu-Gi-Oh occupies a similar conceptual space as, say, The Thundercats - its lure is so brazen as to be almost pornographic.

The newspost is genius as usual.

Finally, a 360 game that actually looks interesting, rather than just a dull sports or shooting affair designed without any real innovative or interesting features.

Gotta love it when someone produces a game based around what appear to be giant piñatas.

That's a gorgeous looking game that may aid Microsoft in becoming a producer of creative games. Except for the fact that it's by far the exeption to the rule.

I'm really looking forward to ATI & Nvidia waking up to themselves and putting whatever the hell ATI did in the X360's graphics dept onto pc cards.  As I understand it they put some memory/cache directly onto the die of the GPU, so operations where you have to move lots and lots of small amounts of data (like antialiasing) don't tax the system as much as usual.  Does someone know if that is correct or not?

In any case, however they've done it I love the shininess of all these new games coming out.  The FSAA I'm seeing in these games already places them above what I'm used to seeing on other consoles.  I'm guessing that if someone wanted to make a game like this on the previous gen systems it'd either be jagged as hell from all the mache pieces, or they'd have to have compromised and made the pinatas solid polygons, which would not have had the same effect.
