Abstract: Monkey, despite the name, is the ultimate beat-em-up character. The genre traditionally relies on a trio of styles, the all-rounder, the speed, and the power. Monkey is all three, a enormously tenacious brute bashing away at surviving mechs of a war lo...
Abstract: Many saw developer Ninja Theory’s first game, the PS3-exclusive Heavenly Sword, as not only a mediocre effort, but a sign that the studio just didn’t have the talent to make great games. I can’t say that I agreed, however, as I found that while Heav...
Abstract: It wasn’t that long ago that I was walking away from the Enslaved: Odyssey to the West booth at E3 with a general feeling of indifference. I couldn’t even muster up a level of disappointment since I had heard nothing of the game prior and had no expect...

As a reviewer, it’s sometimes hard to assign a number to an experience, and Enslaved presents that challenge. It has flaws for certain, from dodgy controls and limited combat, to a conclusion that feels less like an ending and more like the story just ...
Abstract: Ambitious. That's a word I'd use to describe Ninja Theory. In terms of game narrative, this is one studio that goes all-out and is never afraid to stray from the accepted archetypes that have plagued so many other games over the years. Originality, d...
