Ninja Blade (Xbox 360)

When an action game lets you dress up in pink pinstripes before carving up hordes of gruesome mutants, you know it doesn't take itself seriously. Ninja Blade is such a game, but it's so ridiculously over the top, so rambunctiously insane, that it's...

Jet Set Radio

Time makes a fool of us all, including old video games. While the 8- and 16-bit eras of gaming will always feel timeless, earlier generations of 3D games haven’t aged well. I’m old enough to have lived through all of the phases of gaming,...

Mark of the Ninja Review

Ninja games -- they usually go one-way or the other. And by that, I mean either you're a complete bad-ass capable of taking on all comers with abilities and ninpo magic, or you're going for the more stealth-like approach, striking enemies without their...

Mark of the Ninja Review

I am not a ninja, but I'm learning.

Deliberate stealth gameplay; Kills reward and entertain; ... without becoming monotonous.; Narrative, choice, and mood

One way to play

With Mark of the Ninja, Klei has proven that they're not a one-trick pony, that they've got ideas to evolve and challenge players with. After more of the same in Shank 2, it's a welcome, fresh look at the developer that's made violence and blood a...

Fruit Ninja Kinect - Xbox 360 review at Thunderbolt Games

Fruit Ninja Kinect is a game where you flail your hands about in front of your television, slicing fake fruit into bits. There is no story, no explanation, no real rhyme or reason to the madness, just the knowledge that these fruits are in desperate...

Slicing and Dicing

Ultra simple, addictive gameplay, multiplayer modes

I’ve never taken hallucinogenic drugs, but after playing El Shaddai: \r\nAscension of the Metatron, I may be able to relate with people who have.\r\n I traversed colorful landscapes with melting skylines, ascended \r\nseemingly endless...
