My First Japanese Games

When I first met my boyfriend, I knew he was a huge Xbox gamer.  I didn't realize just how huge until he told me that he not only has 2 US Xboxes, but he also owns PAL and Japanese consoles as well.  Unlike PS3 where the games are all region free (blu-ray format), Xbox is not (DVD format).  In order to play the games from other countries, most of the time you need a console from that region (NTSC, NTSC-J, PAL).  There are some region free Xbox games but those seem rare.
Some games have stackable gamerscore also.  For example, I can play the US version of Velvet Assassin and get 1000 gamerscore, then play the Japanese version of Velvet Assassin and get yet another 1000 gamerscore.  It stacks, get it?
So... I was on a mission to get myself a few Japanese games.  I like points, ok?  ;)


Here is what I've ended up with (so far):
Velvet Assassin (JP version) - Players take control of Violette Summer, a World War II era British female spy operating deep behind enemy lines, attempting to help thwart the Nazi war effort.The game's story was inspired by a real life secret agent saboteur Violette Szabo. Stealth action game.
Memories Off 6: Next Relation - The gameplay of Memories Off follows the style of most visual novels; the majority of time spent playing the game is spent on reading through the dialogue or story that appears on screen. Every so often, the game will pause and the player is given a chance to choose from two to five options regarding how he or she wishes to advance the game. The plot will then branch into paths focusing on a single heroine depending on the choices that were made by the player; a conclusive character ending will be presented at the end of any given path.
Shin Sangoku Musou 4 Special -  The gameplay of Dynasty Warriors 5 is based on previous "Dynasty Warriors" games. It is a hack-and-slash beat-'em-up 3-D action game.
The Idolmaster: Live for You! -  The game focuses mainly on the concert coordination (rhythm game) aspect of the original and expands on it in many ways. Kotori Otonashi again serves as the player's assistant. Before each performance, the player is able to customize the song, stage, costumes and performance.
Tayutama: Kiss on my Deity -  Tayutama is a romance visual novel in which the player assumes the role of Yuri Mito. Its gameplay mainly consists of progression through the story by reading text that appears on the screen, which represents the story's dialogue narrative.

I haven't tried playing any of these yet, so I'll let y'all know how it goes!  :)
