I actually didn’t have high expectations for this game, which is great because those expectations were not met. After the grinding “expansions” of Ninja Gaiden Black and Sigma, I knew this one wasn’t going to be innovative. Besides the bloody and blurring combat, everything else falls extremely short.

It looks like everything from the first Ninja Gaiden is magnified 100 times in this new installment. We got way more blood and gore caused by more over-the-top weapons, like Ryu’s foot blades? As silly as it sounds, these images show its brutality at work. Unfortunately, the same lame art direction is back as well, which will be another article for the future. We also have these images in high-quality, without watermarks available for download.

See all the screenshots!

Finally. After years of speculation, tears and nerd rage, Fallout 3 is a few steps closer to being a reality. The Hammered Bros. take a glance at the new game and give a few thoughts on what made the classic series worthy of a sequel. » read more
