Ninja Gaiden 2 gets patched, sorta

"The problems are most evident on Mentor and Master Ninja mode. Blocking becomes useless due to all the unblockable grab moves, 99% of your combos become useless due to all the projectiles interrupting them, and you'll find yourself spamming the same few moves (Izuna Drop, Guillotine Throw, UTs, OTs, Flying Swallow, and Y,Y,Y with the Lunar or Scythe) for the entire game."
-Mike

Blocking will never become useless in the game, if you get caught with the unblockable throws, which were also in NGB btw ( no change in NG2 therefore no complaints from faithful followers), your not moving fast enough. The only thing different about the incin shurikens is that your cant jump Y downslice/smash to nullify the damage, which was an exploit that is rightfully fixed in my opinion. the key to avoiding this problem is to keep them down w/ izuna throws into the mass of them and pick them off one at a time. The game's only major flaw from NGB is the new camera, which is substantially worse than NGB's was, and even then its only every once in a while you can't fix it by RT. People who think the entire game is flawed simply dont appreciate the control system that allows you to do absolutely anything with ryu, and are often DMC faithful that dont want to put the time in to become good at the game.

Sonic Unleashed footage gives us hope

i dunno, i actually like the transition from 3d to 2d, i think its very well done, and this game could be the first sonic game i've played since 3 on the genesis. If they're all like that nonstop BS though, the game's gonna bea flop

NG2 now that I finally finished that damn aqua level, he makes the game so good and then throws in crap like that, what a jerk haha. Still won't be able to put it down until I at least beat hard and get halfway through master ninja. I miss the missions already :(

This Box would massively help improve my poor experience w/ two bricked boxes so far. Plus, the nice custom paint doesnt hurt either!

Sony claims PS3 success over the 360

I'm pretty sure the PS3 isnt even close to pulling a profit yet.. Silly Sony Tricks are for kids

Fanswag: Halo 3 Heroic Map Pack

Dec 14th 2007 2:44PM (Joystiq Xbox)
Its perfect for a good old fashion game of homerun derby, or an infection level set up like dawn of the dead with humans having a height advantage and turrets on the zombies, a couple of crates should do the trick. Or maybe even a maze level where the good weapons are stuck in hard to find corners. Can you smell the cheese?
