Tecmo and Team Ninja have finally brought the legend of Ryu Hayabusa to Sony’s small screen. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Plus is out now on the PlayStation Vita. A modified port of the 2009 PS3 release, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Plus brings all the fast-paced, high-flying hack-and-slash you could want from a Ninja Gaiden game on the PS Vita, but doesn’t really innovate anywhere. I’ll admit that I’m really torn on this game. There are parts where I am completely in love with being a ninja; I run on walls, I decapitate my enemies and generally feel like a total
Skylanders Mega Bloks Collection
The Skylanders franchise has many things going for it — one of them is the toy collecting aspect but what happens when you run out of figures to collect? No prob cause Mega Bloks has you covered! Mega Bloks released a large variety of Skylanders themed toys and building kits for the entire portal master family! Each toy set comes with a figure or two depending on the pack you purchase and best of all you can finally own Kaos! The only downside is that the Mega Bloks toys do nothing on the ‘Portal of Power’ but will look nice
Halo 4 DLC Review – Surprisingly Majestic
Earlier this week the brand new Halo 4 Majestic Map Pack debuted on Xbox Live. The pack contains three new maps: Skyline (city at night themed), Monolith (Forerunner themed), and Landfall (City/warehouse themed) and is free to season pass holders or 800 MSP for everyone else. The first map pack, Crimson, was a bit disappointing in that it contained more large maps and a palette that was similar to the maps packed in with Halo 4. This new Majestic pack however, is fantastic. The maps are smaller in scope which is much needed in the Halo 4 line-up, and are three distinctly
The Showdown Effect – Review
Bringing together the gritty violence of summer blockbuster films with the frantic strategy of online multiplayer gaming, The Showdown Effect is Arrowhead Game Studios’ 2.5D love letter to the brutal death matches action fans love to indulge in. Using everything from combat knives and baseball bats to automatic rifles and rocket launchers, The Showdown Effect pits up to 8 players against each other or teams of over-the-top characters in detailed multi-tiered environments. It is in these various levels and modes that you quickly learn dodging, diving, and devastation are the ultimate keys to survival. Adding even more replay value to
AC3 The Tyranny of King Washington: The Infamy – Review & Gameplay
Ubisoft can craft a compelling story. In the new Assassin’s Creed III DLC – The Tyranny of King Washington – you wake as the main hero, Ratonhnhaké:ton (Connor), into a world that has completely changed. All that remains of your old world are the memories you and your character have of colonial America. More shocking than the fact that George Washington has gone mad and named himself king, is the fact your mother is still alive. All this and more come to light in Episode 1: The Infamy. What I love about this DLC is how Ubisoft was able to
PS4 Press Conference Analysis
Sony’s recent unveiling of the PlayStation 4 at the PS4 Press Conference in NYC caused the Internet to explode with glee, grief, anger, confusion and shock. It also left me with sore legs due to its length (It finished in just over 2 hours). Now, you can watch the press conference on your own or catch play-by-plays somewhere else. I’m more interested in breaking it down and analyzing what we saw and what was said – along with everything not shown or unsaid. First is the PS4 itself. The X86 CPU, 8GB of RAM and 8 cores leaves a fantastic

Metal Gear Rising Revengeance – Review
The Metal Gear series has been known over the years for its deep stealth gameplay and outlandish, crazy, and fun storylines. Action in the series has been relatively absent and many times could get you spotted quickly. For this very reason the idea that a “hack and slash” style Metal Gear game exists is almost as insane as the game’s plot. That being said, I am extremely happy that Kojima Productions and Konami willed Metal Gear Rising Revengeance into existence with the help of Platinum Games. Metal Gear Rising comes out at a time when action games are coming back

Grid 2 – Hands-On Preview
Grid 2 promises to be an immersive experience for the racing video game enthusiast. It looks sharp and crisp and will offer players plenty of options like street racing, road racing and circuit racing – the developers of Grid 2 want this title to have multiple aspects of all racing fused into one game. Grid 2 offers somewhat of a narrative story in which your character will start off with minimal resources and have to gain fans as ‘currency’ in order to race larger and more advanced tracks. Codemasters has been responsible for some great racing games in the past
