Dead Or Alive 5 To Feature See-Through Shirts

The Dead or Alive series has always been known for one thing: boob physics. The game’s developers pride themselves on their ability to render realistic — or what they think that means — in-game breasts.

Ninja Gaiden 3: The Kotaku Review

I admit it: I may well be the world’s worst ninja. My sense of timing is less than exemplary, my coordination is not always great, and sometimes I just plain lose track of what’s going on.

Everything I Can’t Stand About Ninja Gaiden III

There are times in life when you shouldn’t mess with a good thing. To me, Ninja Gaiden III exemplifies this. Why are there Quick Time Events in Combat? What’s with all the cheesy British stereotypes? What the heck happened to the Ninja Gaiden I know and love?

Don’t Blame Team Ninja For Metroid: Other M’s Story
