<p>You-hoo, down here. Right. <a href="http://firsthour.net/first-hour-review/odin-sphere">My take on <strong>Odin Sphere</strong>&#8216;s first hour of gameplay is now live over at <strong>The First Hour</strong>.</a> Do check it out. I wrote it mostly as an excuse to post amazingly awesome cosplay pics, as shown above. Seriously, this game was <em>made</em> for cosplayers. I won&#8217;t be playing much more of it after a repetitive hour, but there&#8217;s no stopping me from loving the game&#8217;s art style and profound effect on the cosplaying culture.</p>
