<p>For those unfamiliar with video game publisher Atlus, they’re the force behind two of the year’s best games, Odin Sphere and <a href="/gamer/sarah/reviews/article/shin_megami_tensei_s_persona_3_playstation_2">Persona 3</a>. Though neither of these RPGs got the attention they deserved, the Atlus name has long been associated with quality games. Now the publisher, whose highly-anticipated Trauma Center sequel is hitting Wii consoles this week, is reported to be bringing two Japanese tactical RPGs to the Xbox 360.<br /><br />The games, Operation Darkness and Spectral Force 3, have already been released in Japan, but this will be the first time the third-party publisher brings Xbox 360 games to the U.S. Spectral Force 3 will be set in a fantasy world embroiled in what is called the Great Neverland War, while Operation Darkness has players taking on a supernatural Adolf Hitler during World War II in an alternate universe.<br /><br /><img src="/contributed/1195497944smBRVKqeU5.jpg" width="219" height="310"></img></p><p> <img src="/contributed/1195497934nXQ1Has3Ym.jpg" width="217" height="302"><br /><br />I know it sounds strange, but so did a bunch of teenagers shooting themselves in the head to unleash special powers, and that turned out to be one of the best gaming experiences in recent history. I’m excited to see more role-playing titles on the 360, especially from a company that has made so many games I enjoy in the past. Dates haven’t been announced for either title yet, but I’m hoping I don’t have long to wait before I get to battle Bizarro Hitler.</img></p>
