If there was one console-exclusive videogame that PC gamers have been dying to play more than anything else, it's got to be Ninja Blade. Thankfully, the port we've been longing for is indeed happening. Yes sir, we will finally be able to relive the quick time event magic in October when the game ships.
The port is being handled by ND Games, the same guys who brought Dark Sector from consoles over to PC. On a slightly more serious note -- but not really -- the press release has "free movement in all directions" as a bullet point for Ninja Blade.
My question, I guess, is how do you have an action game without free movement in all directions? Has it be done? Can it be done? These questions won't go unanswered.

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

I picked this up for $10 at Target on clearance a few months ago... I'd say go for it if its released under $20, the fighting isn't bad, and while there is a lot of QTE's there is still a ton of decent hack-slash-magic stuff going on.
Typing of the Dead would like a word with you.
/thread.
But from now on it should be like "only on xbox360 for now,lol" or "only one xbox360,we think" or "only on xbox360 before we release it on another platform".
I also lol'd when I saw an old review of Ninja Gaiden 2 from IGN which said "PS3 owners must be crying" or something.
I wouldn't expect this game to be of any higher quality than that if they are doing the port for it.
Also, isn't it ironic the free movement wasn't advertised on the Xbox 360?
