Video games are now held to new standards as of lately due to the recent releases of the new consoles, which makes it even harder for sequels to crowned as a premium title. This would be the case for the newly released Ninja Gaiden 2 for the X-Box 360! As a fan of the 360 one would anticipate the arrival of this game seeing how it’s predecessor is hailed to be one of the greatest actions games of it’s time. Now Ninja Gaiden 2 does not break ground into some new way to design action games but it does do a great job at being a sequel, and by that last phrase it is meant that it meets all the requirements of the game before it and includes some new aspects to get old and new players into the title and series.

Xbox 360 Play & Charge Kit with Black Controller
I bought this bundle as a video game deal-of-the-day recently. I already had a white wireless controller and play & charge kit and I definitely enjoyed the freedom of wireless controllers. These kits are great because you don't have to keep buying new batteries or swapping rechargeable ones. I just play, and when I'm done I just plug them into my PC USB ports to charge, so I don't have to leave my 360 on. (These charge kits DO NOT WORK as PC controllers -- only for charging. Silly, eh?)

The deal of the day was for . An added benefit was that it was the black bundle, so the controller stands out amongst the many white ones that most people have. I have had no problems thus far and am glad I bought this bundle at the discounted price. I probably would not buy it at full price, though.

Shamefully Expensive for Very Little Storage
The only saving graces for this and other M$ Xbox 360 storage options are:
- It lets you save Xbox Live Marketplace content and Game Saves
- If you plan on using the Netflix movie service with your Xbox 360, you'll need this device to store the movies and television shows. The typical 20GB drive may store one season's worth of standard definition TV shows at the very most.

Otherwise, it really isn't worth the money considering how little storage you get for the price. It and other M$ branded storage products are the ONLY solutions to save Xbox Live content and Game Saves. Other options require either violating a warranty due to hacking the drive and storing its content onto your PC, or having your Xbox 360 banned from Xbox Live for tampering/hacking. For the same price, you could get double, triple, or even quadruple the storage capacity via USB-based storage drives. Other consoles such as the PS3 and Wii allow you to use various other non-proprietary, industry-standards-based storage options, such as USB drives and SD memory cards to store game saves and other downloadable content. No reason M$ can't do the same.

If you're a die-hard Xbox Live junkie that downloads a lot of demos, movies, Xbox Live Arcade games, perhaps might even dabble with the XNA game creation feature, etc., then you already have this drive and accepted the fact that M$ has won and taken your money. If you're much more casual, perhaps only storing game saves and a movie or two, then buy the 20GB model and save yourself the money for now.

Pretty good
I found it funny how it asked me how fun this "game" was...Let's see, the controls were jerky, the graphics were bad...

But no. It's a webcam. Given everything, I didn't even use it for a game. No sir, I did not buy it for my XBOX 360. I bought it for my iMac.

Basically, it's for claymation and such. I bought it because it's a good webcam, but more importantly, it's Mac-compatible.

Good "game" overall.
