Guys. Girls. I’m sure you’re already aware of this but Mark of the Ninja, on XBLA, is a very, very good video game. I’ve been playing it for the last week and it’s pretty much just shot into my top five games of the year. I’m close to finishing it, so that’s what I’ll be playing this weekend. What about you fine folks?
Why is Mark of the Ninja good? No-one asked that question, but I’m going to answer it anyway.
The answer is: polish and design.
The mechanics and design of this game is just absolutely pitch perfect. It takes the best ideas from every stealth game you’ve ever played, places them into a two dimensional plane and just polishes it to a fine, fine sheen. It really is a must play.
Anyway — what are you playing this weekend?
