News Become the Ultimate Ninja with Free Ninja Gaiden III DLC
Masochist
Ninja Gaiden III is so easy that our own blade-wielding beast Christopher Ingram managed to play through the game with his eyes closed. Or so we’re told.

Gat's back
It’s probably telling that Saints Row: The Third’s latest DLC pack – which sees former series protagonist Johnny Gat brought back to life as a thirty-foot clone – seems a bit tame.

Not all cheap
Street Fighter X Tekken fans aren’t happy. Shortly after the game’s release, hackers uncovered that much of the title’s DLC content was already included on the disc.

Paving the path to prestige
There are physics degrees that are easier to understand than Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3’s DLC release schedule.
