What would a modern ninja be without any gadgets and gizmos to help us? Throughout the ages ninjas have always kept up to date with the latest and most state of the art technologies to aid us in our missions. The Review Ninjas are no exception.

Wii MotionPlus

admin — Sat, 16 May 2009 18:38:31 +0000

The Wii is getting a new gizmo. Its called the MotionPlus and it’s promising to enhance the motion sensing capability of the Wii controllers. It will use gyroscopes to sense your motions, making it more sensitive and accurate than the controllers they have today. It will come out sometime in June and you will have the option of buying it bundled up with Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 for $49.99 or separately for $19.99. There’s only a few other games coming out that will be able to use the increased sensitivity. We’ll see how it handles Red Steel 2 when that time comes. Keep checking in for updates on this and all the latest developments.

Rumors of A New Full Body Controller

admin — Fri, 15 May 2009 22:43:16 +0000

One of our scout ninjas has come back fatally wounded from a mission infiltrating Microsoft. He had this to report before giving his last breath: there are rumors of Xbox designing their own motion-sensing technology. While he was not able to bring back evidence to support his claim he did state that it will be able to detect full body motions without the need of any controllers such as in the case of one of their rivals, the Nintendo Wii. Much blood has been shed between these two organizations. Imagine being able to punch, kick, run, dodge, duck, dip, and dive without any clumsy controllers getting in your way. Microsoft neither confirms nor denies these allegations but we assure you: we will get to the bottom of this. Our ninja fought bravely to escape the clutches of Microsoft but his injuries were just too extensive. He will be avenged.

X-men Origins: Wolverine Uncaged

admin — Fri, 15 May 2009 16:33:08 +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.

Dead Rising 2

admin — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 20:06:49 +0000

With the ever growing population of zombies out there, there is always the threat of throwing the environment out of whack. We ninjas have always been eco-friendly but we can’t do it all by ourselves. We could always use a little help keeping the zombies in check.
This is where our friend Chuck Greene comes in. He’s always doing his part for the environment. Taking them down with anything he can find, from a double chainsaw ended staff to a moose head ramming into herds of those pesky zombies. He even hooked up two chainsaws to the handlebars of his bike (now that’s what I call recycling). You can do some serious mayhem with that thing.
So pick up a copy of Dead Rising 2 and remember, always have your zombies spayed or neutered…or beheaded if you like. This has been a public service announcement from the Review Ninjas.

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.
