Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword

 After "God of War: Chains of Olympus", this would be another one on DS that I am going to experience some bloody experience. "Ninja Gaiden" franchise has been around for a while now. "Ninja Gaiden Sigma" was on XBox360 then on PS3, and soon this month "Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword (DS)" is going to land on DS (I wonder and sometimes hope it would be on PSP). So far, this game has gained some good reviews, with average of 84 ("God of War: Chain of Olympus" got average 92, but not to compare or anything).

The gameplay defines the specialty of this game. It is using the DS stylus to perform all sorts of fighting, magic and ninjutsu. For example: By tapping the screen Ryu will throw one of his shurikens; by tapping and holding Ryu will run to the desired location; by drawing a horizontal line on an enemy Ryu will do a horizontal slash with his sword; by drawing a vertical line he will do a vertical slash; and by drawing up on the screen he will jump. Use of Ryu's Ninpo magic will be activated by tapping an icon on the touch screen; this will bring up the outline of a Sanskrit letter to be traced with the stylus.[2] Successfully tracing the letter will activate the appropriate magic.

Here, I put the reviews of GameTrailers.com and IGN just to give you a rough idea how good this game is.
