Ninja Gaiden Preview
Shacknews
previews Ninja Gaiden for X-box, the widely anticipated continuation of the classic NES series.
If there’s one thing Team Ninja can do, it’s amazing visuals. Ninja Gaiden is one of the slickest and smoothest games on Xbox. The characters are extremely well modeled and animated, proving that Team Ninja are the authority on, well, ninjas… and Xtreme volleyball girls. The environments are also well done, but definitely a notch below the incredibly detailed, but smaller environments found in Dead or Alive 3. There are also little things that contribute to the slick presentation, such as camera shake and blur during Ryu’s stronger attacks.
Bioware Developer Interview

interviews developers at Bioware, the acclaimed game studio responsible for hits such as Neverwinter Nights and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.
Our two core values are quality in our products and quality in our workplace. We try our best make the best video games in the world, each one better than the last, and also try very hard to make a great place for our talented staff to work, so that they feel like they can make a career at BioWare. They’ve been very loyal (we had no one leave during the entire year of 2003) and our turnover rate over the past ten years is only about 3 percent per year, annualized.
