What is it that the video-game industry has against ninjas, particularly 8-bit ones? I’m slowly realising that if an Amstrad game has the word ‘ninja’ in its title then it must be avoided like shampoo soaked contact lenses. We’ve reviewed two ninja ‘themed’ games so far on this blog: BMX NINJA and NINJA SCOOTER [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thesnakebecomesthekey.wordpress.com&blog=690265&post=109&subd=thesnakebecomesthekey&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Straight off the bat, Nightbreed does little to instil you with confidence that it&#8217;s going to be an enjoyable gaming experience. The bewildering plot, which was difficult enough to fathom when spread out over an entire film, is garbled at you in a matter of seconds before you start.

Gauntlet didn’t just cement my love of games; it scrawled its name in the wet pug with a gleaming broadsword.
