The Wii needs more good fighting games. There, I said it. Outside of Tatsunoko VS Capcom there are no competent fighters on the damn console. I know that the Wii has this stigma for being the casual gamers’ console and casual gamers don’t normally go for the whole fighting game thing, but dammit, we have [...]

Honestly, I don’t get the massive iPad hate out there. I mean, sure it can’t run flash, and sure it can’t do multiple applications at the same time, and sure it’s buggy, but honestly, hands on, it’s quite the device. It fills that gap where cell phones are too little but laptops are too much. [...]

Sin and Punishment: Star Successor does one thing well and one thing only, hectic arcade shooting. No really, that is the only thing it does well. This is a game that fails so completely in every other area, sporting shitty graphics, a horrible story, and truly horrendous voice acting, and yet still manages to be [...]

I wasn’t originally going to review this game. Yes, it can count as action and it is one of the better selling games on the market right now, but in all honesty it just seemed like Super Mario Galaxy 1 all over again. Well, eventually I saw Super Mario Galaxy 2 climb the charts to [...]

Kirkman has said his idea for the series was to examine what happens to the characters of a zombie movie after the credits roll – what everyday life is like for them in this drastically changed world, and even more importantly, how it changes them. He wants to show how catastrophe can bring out the absolute best and worst in human nature

When Red Dead Redemption was first announced my first reaction was something along the lines of, “oh great, Grand Theft Auto with cowboys.” Then the unfathomably massive stream of hype started up. Rockstar swore that this was some sort of interactive western movie experience that would outdo any other game in the genre. So admittedly, [...]

Alan Wake is one of those games that we have been waiting for a long time to get our hands on. It was to be a survival horror game that put the emphasis on story before anything else, going so far as to make “story” the main point of symbolism for the game. This made [...]

So what do you guys know about Samoa Joe? No really, we are asking you because we don’t really have any clue who the guy is. Just kidding … apparently he is some sort of awesome pro-wrestler or something? Wow, we sure aren’t increasing our action cred at all are we? Anyway, we aren’t here [...]

Do you guys remember a game called Sonic Unleashed? If you do, then I feel for you because it was pretty bad, however, the reason I bring this up in a Prince of Persia review is because Sonic Unleashed had two different versions you could choose from. There was the Xbox/PS3 version that was much [...]

It’s Prince of Persia day here at 30ninjas! Why? Because between the movie and two completely separate games to review we now have the sands of time coming out of our ass, and it’s very uncomfortable. Our first review is of the PS3/Xbox 360/PC versions of Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands, simply because it’s [...]

Atlus’s Trauma Team is less of a sequel and more of a rethinking of the beloved Trauma Center series. The focus has been taken off battling parasitic bio-weapons like G.U.I.L.T. or Stigma, and has shifted to giving the player a variety of medicinal fields to play around with. You now get to play as six [...]

Nier is a bit of a conundrum of a game, I must admit. I originally picked up this game because, admittedly, I am a Square-Enix fanboy. They, once again, managed to pull me to their side with Final Fantasy XIII, and foolishly believing that Square-Enix’s day had come again, I picked up Nier without a [...]

Iron Man 2 is coming out soon, so we get yet another opportunity to see Tony Stark kicking some major ass, drinking until he can’t stand, and generally having a hand in supplying his own super villains with weapons. Of course, to combat the bad guys (of which there are many in Iron Man 2) [...]

When Street Fighter IV came out gamers were excited, but the hype was limited. Sure we were all happy to see our favorite Street Fighter characters step into the ring again, but we had no idea whether the game would be good or not, whether it would work in pseudo 3-D, or whether its advertised [...]

Human resurrection is a tricky subject. Lots of things can go wrong and the end result isn’t always what you were expecting. Before any amateur alchemist, starts injecting, stitching, and incantating, it’s important to do a little bit of research. “There is no better way to learn than by watching the failures of others”, I’m [...]
