OXM UK: "As motivations go, you can do a lot worse than single-minded revenge. It's what spurred Ryu Hayabusa to action in the first Ninja Gaiden in 1988, and it's lit a fire under his successor Yaiba Kamikaze, the foul-mouthed ninja protagonist of Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z.The difference is that Yaiba's target is Hayabusa himself, and the death he's avenging is his own. Never mind that Yaiba is arguably better off as a consequence, revived with a cool cybernetic arm and nifty powers after being sliced nearly in half by Ryu - he wants the Dragon Ninja dead, and he's ready to carve his way through an army of zombies to achieve that goal."

A sensationally lurid departure for the po-faced action series.

"Ive always thought that Im pretty good at video games. Ive always been one to beat my friends and Ive certainly put in the time, playing almost every day since I was big enough to pick up a controller. Ive beaten several Ninja Gaiden games, multiple Contras (including the original), Ghosts N Goblins (double run), I finished Devil May Cry 3 on Hard (even when the difficulty was pumped up from the Japanese version) and Ive completed Demons Souls and more, all of which are famously difficult titles. That has all changed. Teleglitch: Die More Edition has constantly and consistently kicked my ass from the second I started playing. Rogue games are known to be hard, but I can only just get past over the first half of the game without being overrun by a horde of enemies or being taken out by a couple of sharpshooting, trigger happy guards. Id like to think that Ive adapted, learnt from my mistakes, and am improving as a player, which is how video games usually work - but I dont...

OXM UK: "I remember the first time I tried to take on a tightly-knit bunch of Black Spider Ninjas. I remember it because they eviscerated me. These days, Dark Souls has cornered the market in player punishment - but in the era of the original Xbox Ninja Gaiden was the king of cruelty. Tecmo's action title might look like DmC or Bayonetta - but in those games the challenge is all about racking up high scores and making spectacular combos last as long as you can. Ninja Gaiden, by contrast, was all about trying to survive."
