  • Played the first two levels of Ninja Gaiden. So far, it's a glorified Tenchu (I didn't like Tenchu), but I heard that it gets better, so I'm reserving judgement 'til later. But it didn't start off overly well, although it's absolutely gorgeous

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>I'm not sure why, but the fact that Jaquio and Ashflarwhatever never bother to send henchmen armed with like, guns for example, just makes it all that much more enjoyable.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Um, don't you remember those machine gun soldiers in the original who sounded like they were spitting watermelon seeds at you? Those guys were big fat pains in the asses if you ask me - they were always standing on the far edges of pits, so they'd knock you right in if you didn't time it right.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>I played the original three more than all of your combined. I've beaten them all in a row, while watching all the cutscenes, in 4 and a half hours. No one knows Ninja Gaiden like me, and for the first two levels, it just wasn't Ninja Gaiden...it was more like another ninja hack-n-slash,</div>
