Neverwinter Nights 2 Gold

King of your castle

A Review By torrefaction in PC » Role Playing Game

I went into Neverwinter Nights 2 with low expecations.  I had heard Mask of the Betrayer was an incredible game, but that NWN2 wasn't that great.  To some extent, this is true.  NWN2 is not THAT great.  But it's still a pretty damn good game.  I'm going to get my major issue with it out of the way first.  The ca...

Ninja Gaiden 2

Best Bad Game Ever

A Review By Deadend in Xbox 360 » Action

To confess, I did not complete Ninja Gaiden 2.  I found it to be too hard for me.  Not in the good hard, such as Geometry Wars or Ninja Gaiden 1 which taught me to quit being a bitch and to mix it up and move around. First Off, Ninja Gaiden 2 features a camera that would be considered horrible for an action game in the year 2003.&n...

Ninja Gaiden 2

Abandon Hope All Controllers Who Enter Here

A Review By Goronmon in Xbox 360 » Action

Back in the days of the NES, many games were frustrating, difficult and rough around the edges. In most cases, none of this was done on purpose, it was just the way games were back then. However, the original Ninja Gaiden for the Xbox and now it's sequel on the 360 revel in the controller-destroying gameplay of old. At least now, games are n...

Ninja Gaiden 2

Decapitate Your Way to a Happier You!

A Review By tomippen in Xbox 360 » Action

Team Ninja knows how to make a Ninja game. Trust me on this. Ninja Gaiden is a series hailed for its deep, precise and rewarding style of combat, and rest assured that the newest title, Ninja Gaiden II, doesn’t stray from the path of excellence that team head Tomonobu Itagaki has laid down in past years. If you don’t think &ldq...

Ninja Gaiden 2

Murder in 585P

A Review By Codicier in Xbox 360 » Action

  I'll come right out and say it before we get down to business: I'm a huge Ninja Gaiden fan. At the same time however, I subscribe to the notion that I am a rational person who can give an honest critique of both the faults and merits of a particular item, regardless of personal bias (Coincidentally, I also subscribe to the ...

Ninja Gaiden 2

A fine line between pleasure and punishment

A Review By Harbinger in Xbox 360 » Action

It's been many years since we've seen a new incarnation of the re-imagined Ninja Gaiden series. While there have been several shameless repackaged versions of the original Xbox version, none could be called a true sequel. Many have touted Ninja Gaiden as one of the hardest console games every made, at least from the past generation of systems. It...

If you were a fan of the previous instalment in this series NBA Street Homecourt and looking for more of the same with a few enhancements and improvements in NBA Ballers: Chosen One, you will be seriously disappointed.Those of you that played Homecourt would have experienced the quick pace of the players and their ability to perform inhuman plays. ...

No More Heroes

The whole is greater than the sum of it's parts.

A Review By PugSuperStar in Wii » Action

The phrase "the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts" is the perfect way to describe how No More Heroes became of the must have games for the Wii. Imagine trying to tell a friend about this new game your playing and you rattle off a few tidbits about the game: The graphics aren't even last-gen caliber; lightsaber bought on the '...

Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword

Slash-tastic!

A Review By Time in Nintendo DS » Action

Game: Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword Style: Action/Adventure Platform: DS Before I get started I would like to say that this is my first step, err.. leap, into the Ninja Gaiden series. However, I find that Dragon Sword (DS) is a great way to get started! I picked up this game not really expecting much. I was instead pleasantly surprised...

New Super Mario Bros.

Mario Bros: New, and Super!

A Review By tashi in Nintendo DS » Action

Another Mario side-scroller, you might be thinking. And for a portable console, you might add condescendingly. How fun could it be, you would foolishly ask yourself. But New Super Mario Bros. is new and super fun. Story: The story is... um. was there one? I didn't let it interfere with the gameplay. I guess Princess Peach got kidnapped ...

No More Heroes

Travel the city! Meet new people! Kill them!

A Review By Doctor Setebos in Wii » Action

For anyone looking for an entertaining romp with mindless action and senseless violence, the choices have always been few and far between on Nintendo consoles. Which is why seeing a game like No More Heroes have its moment in the sun on a system such as the Wii is such a refreshing change of pace. The game follows the adventures of Travis Touchd...
