Ninja Blade
$40.00
Released April, 2009
The Pros:Deep and satisfying combo system. Moves look like they hurt. Finishing moves on regular enemies add some extra challenge and nice bonuses.
The Cons:Quicktime events can get REALLY drawn out. Boss battles rely too much on pattern memorization. Completely non-sensical story.
Ninja Blade is a PC and Xbox 360 game that is a hack and slash that incorporates context sensitive commands. This means that the player has to wade through hoards of infected people (zombies) and occasionally battle bosses that require complicated, graphically pleasing finishing moves.

The main character is Ken Ogawa, a ninja that ends up being the only hope to save Tokyo from the parasitic outbreak. Ninja Blade doesn't focus on a open environment, or giving the player lots of choices - instead it focuses on intense, over the top action in a strict level climbing structure. The leveling up is standard, using little red orbs to upgrade weapons and unlock new moves. One nice thing about the game is its over the top violence, such as using cars and rubble flying through the air as platforms to jump off of, and one monster fight where you kill a spider with a giant wrecking ball.
