Do Ninjas dream of stealth sheep? In this X-Play Review, we take a look at the Xbox 360 exclusive ‘Ninja Blade’. Will insane action be enough able to overcome a paper thin storyline? Find out in this review.
Ninja Blade is an action game that seemingly came from the mind of a 9-year-old boy who conceptualized [...]
Ride the lightening with this X-Play Review of ‘Guitar Hero: Metallica’ and find out whether new tracks and the Sandman is enough to make this game worth it.
Nine years ago, while working for the since defunct game magazine Incite, I did an interview with Metallica guitarist (and Legacy Of Kain: Soul Reaver fan) Kirk Hammett [...]
I wouldn’t be going out on a limb by saying that The Godfather Part II is one of the greatest films to ever hit the silver screen. Following the themes of family, revenge, and honor, this sequel is not only ambitious, but created one of the greatest characters to ever be put on celluloid – [...]
Valkyrie Profile – Covenant of the Plume Review
There’s something to be said for a game that can make you feel genuinely bad. Plenty of games nowadays let their players do things that are ugly, unpleasant, and morally reprehensible, but they don’t usually inspire anything like guilt or remorse in the process. One of the keys [...]
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time Review
The original Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles is a relic of a very particular time – when Nintendo was pushing for connectivity between the GameCube and the GameBoy advance. It was a pretty wild idea. And it took four gamers a shopping cart of gear and wires to make [...]

This potpourri approach to game design is a risky one, one that is sure to frustrate those looking for an undiluted take on their favorite genre. In Demigod, there’s [...]
inFamous Review–
Open-world sandbox games have a depressing tendency to stick to the mundane. For all the over-the-top violence and mayhem of games like Grand Theft Auto and Saints Row, you’re still just a guy or girl with a gun. Outside of the occasional licensed game, few sandboxers dare to tackle the idea of superpowers, and [...]
Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2 Review–
Based on the endless parade of sequels, it’s pretty clear that someone keeps buying Dynasty Warrior games. Who these people are and why they have such questionable taste is another issue entirely. Given this success, however, it was a forgone conclusion that the series would branch out from feudal Japan. The result [...]
Excitebots: Trick Racing Review–
On the racing spectrum of games, Nintendo plants their flag firmly on the arcade side of things while leaving the sim-style of racing to the other consoles. The influence of Mario Kart is hard to argue when so many others try to copy it’s easy to pick up and play style along with [...]
