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 just got Viking: Battle for Asgard (Sega / The Creative Assembly)! Asgard? Sounds like something you wear in prison to keep from getting ass raped. Well anyways, The game rocks! It reminds me a lot of the Lord of the Rings games.
Basically your this Viking named Skarin, who gets mortally wounded in a battle with demons from the under world, who are trying to take over Midgard (middle earth… you D&D geeks know what I’m talking about). You are about to die when a goddess named Freya (you may know her from the story of Beowulf) approaches you and brings you back to life, bestowing you with magic powers to lead the human army against the demon hordes from the underworld.
