Does the second game in Microsoft's Arcade NEXT Promotion stand up? Or will it be thrown to it's knees in front of the Blood Forge?
Klei, the developer of Shank 1 and 2 have a new game coming exclusively to Xbox Live Arcade this summer. Mark of the Ninja retains the 2 dimensional cell shaded side scroller style of the Shank games but adds in the element of stealth. Now I don’t mean Assassin’s Creed style stealth or other games currently out that let you be a bad ass damage sponge OR a stealthy assassin. Mark of the Ninja is hardcore stealthy, like you can’t pull out your sword to...
Whenever I purchase a downloadable title I’ll try and ramp down my expectations and try and remember that I am not playing a full feature title. With I Am Alive this was not necessary because the game reminded me at every turn. After grinding through the longest 5-6 hours of gameplay that I’ve experienced in years it became clear why this game was delayed, delayed again, went from being a feature title to a downloadable one, and also why someday they...

Just days before PAX East this year, Double Dragon Neon was announced as a downloadable title coming to XBLA and PSN. The most exciting part of this announcement for me was the fact that it was being developed by Wayforward, the same studio that delivered the beautiful Bloodrayne: Betrayal. So, while at PAX East this year I decided to check it out. The premise remains the same, a girlfriend of one the brothers, Billy and Jimmy Lee, is kidnapped by some thugs. This begins the...
Black Sword Knight is, for lack of a better term, bizarre. That is not surprising considering it is coming from the mind of Suda 51 and Grasshopper Manufacturer, known for their wacky games. You play as a man who is possessed by the Black Knight Sword and is on a quest to kill the evil princess.
