Oh and hey, if you already haven't had enough of me posting back-to-back here's another for you.
I rented Ninja Blade on Wednesday; it's like an easier, more-over-the-top Ninja Gaiden. Think Ninja Gaiden gameplay with Devil May Cry action sequences, but a little less intense and much more forgiving difficulty wise. I played it through once and redid a few missions all on normal picking up all the collectibles, maxing out weapons, trying to earning the best possible grades and ended up with 815 points. I'll go back through it on hard and earn another 70 at least but I don't think I'll have to the patience to go back through and do a one-weapon/no dying run so I'll probably leave a little over 100 points on this game when I return it.
Be warned, if you hate quick-time events stay away from this game; a major part of this game is comprimised of QTE's. When you do special finishing moves on bosses QTE's of various lengths and difficulty are guaranteed and if you want to get the most grade points on a mission you have to go for special finishes (which are mini QTE's) on all the cannon-fodder enemies scattered about the board among other things. Fortunately the QTE's have mini-checkpoints in them, but if you get stuck on a major QTE (which is likely to has less QTE checkpoints) it could continuously roll back an annoying amount and cost you precious grade points every time you mess up and are forced to sit through the cutscene(s) again.
Overall it was a good rental, but I've got my sights set on other things immediately after it. I'll be renting prototype and maybe buying the genesis/megadrive collection which should pretty easily push me over 90,000 some time soon. (Then I've got about 5 months to earn another 10,000 for the 100,000 which could take a little dedication, but I don't think college will keep me that busy.)
