Maebashi Witches Anime Series Review

Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound Game Review

Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound brings the gory franchise back to its 2D roots in a fun way.

The game's plot is rather one-note, with Kenji vowing to take revenge on the demons and Kumori attempting to double-cross the Demon Lord. Eventually, both Kenji and Kumori develo...
