Coming soon?

02.23.2009

Well being that street fighter 4 has rocked the gamestores and almost had me break my arcade stick (LOL) What’s there to look forward to aside from Bionic Commando, Star ocean, Fight Night round 4 , UFC 09 (omg can’t wait) and Resident Evil 5? Well for those who overlook “Sleepers” There’s one title which is coming to xbox 360 titled Ninja Blade. Now i know alot of you are thinkin “Oh great another rip off of ninja gaiden” NO this is definetly not the same developers as Team Ninja Before they broke it off. After doing some research and actually playing the demo I discovered this game was developed by Microsoft Studios and Sega. I was but wasn’t surprised at the fact that Sega Made this because the QTA (Quick Time Action)  system was involved in several Cut scenes.

For those who aren’t Familiar With QTA This was included in several arcade games such as Dynamite Cop and Die Hard (if you haven’t played these games you have no childhood LOL) It’s when the game flashes a button command and you press a button successfully allowing you to progress without getting hurt or slowing you down.

Also about Ninja Blade The combo system is similar to Otogi which was released on XBox. I highly reccomend this game for any hack and slash fan. This game is due in stores April 7th.

    You are correct. Ninja Blade surely was on my “sleeper” list until i got a hands-on in late december. This title does carry one thing heavy over Ninja Gaiden… The more ridiculous the combos, the more Leet Ninja you feel like. And that formula can never spoil with casuals!
