Destructoid: Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage has its frustrating moments, and requires a player with a love of button mashing, but it is ultimately a heap of simple and gory fun that pays a lot of respect of the franchise upon which it is based. Although it could have done with more playable characters (where's my Juda!?), there is a huge amount of content, with story modes for each of the game's eight warriors taking several hours apiece to beat.
GamingLives talks about bad games and loving all games equally.
"Things that others hold as the purist examples of the joy that gaming provides – games like the Mass Effect Trilogy and BioShock (but only the first one) – generally leave me feeling uninspired and itching to dive back into the b-movie thrills of whatever slightly crap game I’m thoroughly enjoying at the time."
Not sure why Uncharted is the photo used for an article about bad games. Whether the writer meant it or not, I austomatically dislike him/her. Uncharted is great.
Haha I read it after I posted that. It actually has a point and is written well. Very good article. And I like how Tom commented at the end lol.
PlayStation is still the best. Jokes. :P
Well, the uncharted photo got my attention. I think that was the point of using it. I clicked to link to a very good article :)
Japanese animation has come a long way, since the days of its niche appeal.
And nowhere is that more apparent, than in the way that gaming has embraced it.
I regret buying Asuras Wrath. I should of consulted reviews of the game. Fist of the North Star however I was ok with. I wish there were more characters. I hope they do another one.
I loved Asura's Wrath. There was more story than I expected- and it wasn't poorly done, either- and the action and gameplay were very fun. Granted, it was a little too short, and Capcom stuck their hands into the development to make the real ending DLC, but that didn't stop me from enjoying every moment.

Will get it later this month.
Haha! Never expected this. Wasn't that impressed by the demo although I'm always interested in a good brawler. Might give it another go. Then again, Destructoid have a tendency to try hard to be avant garde.
*edit* After watching some gameplay movies I'm leaning towards the avant garde part. Game looks incredibly crappy.
