So Ninja Gaiden 2 (Team Ninja/ Microsoft Game Studios) came out yesterday and I am confused over the reviews I read. Does it suck or not?… WTF??? For those of you who don’t know Ninja Gaiden… it began as an arcade game designed by the Tecmo back in 1988. I was in college (Yea… that’s how old I am asshole!) and would play it in between classes at the student union arcade. Eventually it inspired a bunch of different versions for gaming consoles, and home computers, from the Commodore 64 to the NES (Nintendo Entertainment System you dope!). The game was eventually reincarnated for the Xbox in 2004, and there we are.

I know, I know… I wrote about this game in January, but now the trailers are running ramped. I just read an article on Gamespot.com about FaceBreaker (EA Sports Canada) and now I am stoked up again about this game.

As I have said before I am a fan of the boxing game genre and this one is looking awesome in a cartoon like way. This game has taken on a different style of boxing game, stepping away from reality you will get to fight with some colorful characters.
