Good on Microsoft for seeing their chance and taking it -- it's a great season to immerse yourself in everything even slightly vaguely gothic and horror related.
They're actually pretty serviceable games so long as you can temporarily vanish the prior series from your perception.
Though LOS2's idea of what constitutes "stealth gameplay" is happens to be hi-key offensive to anyone who grew up with Metal Gear and/or Assassin's Creed. To this day, it's still my biggest issue with the game.
