Get ready for an adventure that’s out of this world… literally! Star Ocean The Divine Force launches October 27 on Xbox! This latest entry in the Star Ocean series features a fascinating story that fuses science fiction and fantasy, astonishingly responsive real-time combat, and an almost unparalleled level of freedom.

I’m hoping to reach as many new people as possible, so it’s only fair to describe what House Flipper is about. It would be a piece of cake in an ideal world, but in reality, it’s not that simple.
