X-men Origins: Wolverine Uncaged

admin — Fri, 15 May 2009 16:22:49 +0000

Just one word to describe this game: ninjalicious! What? It’s a word. Look it up in the ninja dictionary. Finally, a game rated M for mature…and for good reason! Wolverine shows why he is the best at what he does, which I guess is slicing and dicing any that stand in his way. He has studied the way of the samurai at some point of his long life, as any real Wolverine fan knows. Even just the opening scene to the game is a thing of beauty. Watch as he slaughters through a team of elite commandos in the most grusome, bloodiest, and most awesome way you may have ever seen in a videogame. A definite must have.

Savage Moon

admin — Thu, 14 May 2009 23:25:22 +0000

A tower defense strategy game, Savage Moon takes place, well, on a moon. Seems like we humans have used up our resources on Earth and have found what we need on some remote moons. There’s just one catch: giant bugs live there. Reminds me of Starship Troopers. It’s your job to protect the mining colony from the Insectocytes by placing towers in strategic spots around the base. The pests will come out of the ground in certain spots and you have to blast them away before they wreak havoc. At first all you will have are turrets, which are fine and good, for maybe the first few waves. Once you earn enough money from destroying enemies you have the option to upgrade your turrets or choose different technologies at your disposal. One particular weapon is the mine thrower. Sometimes they have a habit of placing mines in the worst locations not destroying a single thing. Also, the turrets don’t always behave as you want them to. They will switch off of their target, leaving the job unfinished. Now, as a ninja, I can not allow that. We do have a problem with the camera as well. There is no way to zoom out to show a larger battlefield, leaving you wondering in which direction the attack is coming from. The graphics are good for a tower defense game and its always nice to hear a scream from a huge dying cockroach but after a while it seems a little pointless. Good for a couple of tries but overall not worth buying. Needs some improvement. Only available for download on the Playstation Network.
I give it 2 Ninja Stars!

Wanna Get Paid to Play?

Want to learn how you can get paid to play video games? Become a video game tester. In 2008, the video game industry was over a $50 billion dollar business and video game companies are cutting people off a slice of that to test their games and try to find bugs within them. What could be sweeter than getting new games for free and then getting paid to try them? It’s a dream job. Check out gametestingground.com if you want to get in on this.

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

The latest news! Uncharted 2: Among Thieves will include an online multiplayer mode!

Fast Tube by Casper
The game will have both cooperative and competitive multiplayer modes. There will be multiple modes including co-op for up to three players, team deathmatch for teams up to five, and Plunder (capture the flag) where both teams go for the golden treasure. If a team mate is hurt you can revive them but if you do not they will respawn at the last checkpoint. The game will also feature the ability to save an entire match, edit it and show it off in cinema mode. This is going to be one sweet game.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

admin — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 20:12:06 +0000

Alright, I’ll admit it. Jedi’s might just be the only one’s that could stand toe to toe with a ninja. Lucas Arts has done it again with this game that takes place between the events of Episode III and Episode IV. Play as Darth Vader’s secret apprentice sent out on the hunt to take out the jedi. He comes complete with all his powers including force push, grip, repulse and lightning. Enjoy being able to use them in amazing combinations. And he is one bad sith. He wont just push you to the wall, he’ll push you through the wall. Much like Knights of the Old Republic, the choices you make will affect the outcome of the story. Sometimes the camera angles were a problem and locking onto objects to grab will need some getting used to, but overall a very good game.

I give it 4 ninja stars!

Midnight Club L.A.

admin — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 15:23:45 +0000

Another in a great line of games from Rockstar, Midnight Club L.A. surpasses previous racing games in every way. Play online with up to 16 players as you race through the amazingly reconstructed streets of modern day Los Angeles. Drive with over 40 vehicles including muscle cars, tuners, exotics, motorcycles and luxury cars in the largest map to date. We are partial to the Kawasaki Ninja ZX14. The level of customization and detail you can achieve is amazing. Choose from lots of aftermarket parts, create your own decals, and top it off by designing your own custom interiors. Although at first it will take a little while to download the maps, after that, even with the level of realism, there’s hardly any load time! It’s all about speed and all about style with Midnight Club L.A., just watch out for the cops. This may prove to be your #1 racing game.

I give it 5 ninja stars!

Fear 2: Project Origin

admin — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 20:05:59 +0000

Ok, admit it… Fear made you have to change your pants at one point didn’t it? Well Fear 2: Project Origin will leave you crying for your mommy! It is highly recommended that you leave your lights on while you play but if you really want to feel your skin crawl, your spine tingle, and your hair stand on end, then by all means, play at night, with the lights out, by yourself. Everything about this game has been upgraded, from the character AI to the the way blood splatters across the scene. And there will be LOTS of blood.
Play as Sgt. Michael Beckett of the Special Forces as he fights to survive against Alma’s supernatural powers. There will be new enemies and lots of new weapons. One of the new enemies you will encounter are the remnants. If you get too close to one they will give out a scream that will disorient you. But that’s not the worst of it. Remnants have the power to control any of the dead bodies that happen to be in the vicinity. They will look for anything that they can use to attack you. This game will make you scream for more, or just leave you screaming altogether.

Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune

admin — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 21:30:36 +0000

This is one of the best games we have ever laid our eyes on. The graphics are just incredible. Follow fortune hunter Nathan Drake as he explores ancient ruins looking for the famous treasure of El Dorado. There will be plenty of clues throughout the jungle to help you out. Along the way search for little trinkets to add to your personal collection (60 in all!). Enjoy the gun fights and high speed chases of this game that play out much like a scene from an action movie. There is a great mix between the amount of puzzles and combat. The hand to hand combat is worthy of a ninja and you can use anything from small pistols and uzis to mp40’s and ak-47’s. Once you complete the game you can unlock more challenging modes and perks that you can use at any time.
The story was enjoyable even for someone that just happens to be in the room watching. Nathan and his friends Sonny and Elena explore ancient caves, navigate 400 year old ruins and travel through amazing jungles in search of treasure while at the same time fighting off others who have joined the hunt. They will face many enemies on their journey to find the lost city of gold. And then the whole story takes on a weird turn when you find out what the treasure is. Definitely a great addition to anyone’s collection. This game has set a new level of realism and detail that others will now have to match. Can not wait for the sequel to this great game.

I give it 5 ninja stars!

God of War III

admin — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 15:04:36 +0000

One of the best game series we have ever laid our perfectly honed eyes on! Follow Kratos as he slaughters through legions of the undead, battles legendary mythical cratures and even takes down the gods! He is one spartan you do not want to mess with. If you have ever played any of the previous God of War games then you know about the great combat moves and fluidity of combos (worthy of a ninja, might i add), and about the good balance or fighting, puzzle solving, and story progression. Oh and what a story! The game series has a great premise and we would love to see it turned into a movie if produced well. This game has not yet been released but keep coming back for updates on this amazing game.

Prototype

admin — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 15:52:30 +0000

We here at The Review Ninjas are absolutely drooling over this game! We cannot wait for it to come out June 9th 2009. Now this is a game that will take full advantage of what the playstation 3 is truly capable of. There’s fast and deadly shape-shifting combat. What ninja wouldn’t enjoy that? Consume anyone at anytime, take on their appearance and assume their memories and special abilities. Enjoy seamless and fluid bounding from building to building, running up walls, bouncing off cars and everything in your path…hmm, much like a ninja. Adaptive parkour lets you move freely through the open-world environments of New York City. If you only buy a few games this summer, this is the one to get.
We give it a very enthusiastic 5 ninja stars!
