Ninja Blade likely won’t win any “game of the year” awards and it’s certainly not looking to change the landscape of gaming. It simply harkens back to the old days of gaming when all you needed to know was “You’re a good guy killing monsters.” If you’v...
Abstract: The world is taken over by an infestation…who do you call? G.U.I.D.E., Global United Infestation Detection and Elimination! From Software has given the gaming community another take on a well-known game, Ninja Gaiden by Namco. As one of the world’s eli...
