It's finally here kids. Yes, it's the granddaddy of all ninja simulators, Ninja Gaiden. This particular entry in the series is somewhat anachronistically titled Ninja Gaiden II. We can tell you unreservedly (and from experience) that it is glorious in execution. It's also goriest in executions. Eviscerations abound as gamers take on the role of Ryu Hayabusa, the superest of all super ninjas. But wait, what's that? There are more games shipping this week and they don't all suck? Whoa. Imagine our surprise. Behold this week's list:

- Ninja Gaiden II
- GRID
- LEGO Indiana Jones
- Robert Ludlum's: The Bourne Conspiracy
- Kung Fu Panda
- Incredible Hulk

I was all hyped on GRID, but the demo just didn't do it for me. I'll just stick with Forza 2 for now, I think.
I am considering NG2, though.

GRID should be arriving in the mail sometime this week. Really enjoyed the demo - it'll be a welcome balls-to-the-wall arcade bit of fun to counterbalance the gravitas of Forza.

A game that is impossible to beat will never grace my 360's DVD drive again.

'Impossible' is quite the subjective term.

I'm getting Grid as well. I'll probably rent NG2 and maybe get it later down the road.
I'm also contemplating getting the racing wheel as I have NFS, PGR4, and Dirt as well. Anyone have any feedback on how well the racing wheel works with these games and Grid?

I have it and it's a lot of fun. It really enhances the experience.
I have a hard time with it when games are really based on drifting... so in PGR4, I tend to get far better times with a controller. Still, it's definitely enjoyable.
I unfortunately can't tell you how it is on NFS, DiRT or GRID.
I use it all the time with Forza 2. It's almost like playing a whole new game. A normal controller is arguably more precise and apparently results in better times, but the wheel just really brings it to a new level. If you're interested in having a good time with racing titles, I think it's basically a must own... especially now that it's $100.
Just make sure you plug it in. The booklet doesn't exactly explain that the force feedback is way less than desirable if you're running on batteries.

I'll be picking up GRID as well. Well, when I'm done with GTA IV, my Frontlines review, and then College Hoops 2k6 (which is in the mail). :D w00t! LOL...So I probably won't be getting it for another month or so...LOL

NG2 for sure, just bummed that the UK doesn't get it till Friday.
The first game defeated me at the end, that big chain of boss fights after climbing up the tower just screwed me over and i gave up. This time round Vengeance really is coming. ;D

I am hoping to get NG2 tomorrow. Never got past chapter 5 in NG1 so I'm hoping Achievements, bloodier battles and some regenerating health will keep me more motivated this time around.
