For all those who think anything that has got the word “history” in it will be dull and boring, The History Channel seeks to change that with the recently concluded Human Weapons Gaming Nights. Held at The Living Room in Bangalore, it pitted gamers against each other in Halo 3 while others tested out their button-mashing skills in Ninja Gaiden 2. Sadly, contrary to what the press release had promised, Gears of War was missing, leaving GeOW veterans dissapointed and having to contend with getting their collectives asses handed over to them by the Halo 3 crowd. The winners walked away with Xbox 360, t-shirts and other assorted goodies. Rest of the crowd had to make do with Red Bull, the co-sponsor of the event. But hey, it was free, so we are not complaining. A certain Mr. Ramadoss would sure be proud of us. With no one from Microsoft present to answer our burning questions about Gears of War 2 and Fable II, we will have to leave you guys with some pictures from the event after the jump…
…and a friendly reminder to the parents of the kids in the picture above, to keep a watch on what the kids are playing.
With Ninja Gaiden II sneaking just around the corner, the uber-awesome-crazy ninja dogs here at The ANGRY Pixel are all set to unleash our unique brand of ninjitsu on all you unsuspecting folk living your mundane, bloodless lives out there.
With crazy contests being our forte (and the secret behind our enchanted ninja superpowers), we’ve teamed up with our dark bretheren at Microsoft yet another time to bring you the all-new, all-black Be A Ninja! contest. Just in time to celebrate the launch of Ninja Gaiden II and the fact that we’ve managed to ninjassassinate 10,001 people that dared to look at us or ask us for the time.
Now since we’d like to take a breather from all this senselessly sensual killing and play some NG2 ourselves, we’re taking applications for ninja trainees who we’d like to slaughter virtually in the game before we turn them into sushi with our katanas. That’s right, no codes to break, no brain bending puzzles to solve and the best part is, you don’t even have to kill your family and bring us their still-beating hearts!
All you have to do is, quite simply, be a ninja. Show us how good a ninja you are, by sending us a photograph of you in all your ninja-awesomeness. Make costumes and props from whatever you can find, have a friend click you in your secret ninja identity (remember to kill him once he’s done) and then send the photo over to iareninja@theangrypixel.com along with your full name, your contact number and your complete postal address. This way, if you win, we can send you some awesome Ninja Gaiden II prizes. If you don’t, we’ll be sure to send a midget ninja in the envelope to kill you for being such a miserable failure in life.
That’s it for now. I’m going to go and make me some ninja noodles. They’re just like regular noodles, but we boil them just by staring at them and use poisoned kunai knives for chopsticks.
There’s no denying Ninja Gaiden and Ninja Gaiden: Black were just awesome (if not ruthlessly unforgiving) on the Xbox, so it pissed quite a lot of people off when Ninja Gaiden Sigma became a PS3 exclusive. However, if GameSpot Korea is right, all that might change with Ninja Gaiden 2, which is rumored to be back for the Xbox 360 and will be showcased at the upcoming Tokyo Game Show. Now our Oriental mumbo-jumbo translations aren’t what they used to be, but it looks like Team Ninja has said that they will demoing the game on the Xbox 360 because of their “strong relationship with Microsoft”. Now the real deal here is that, apparently, there is no news on a PS3 release yet, which means the Redmond boys might be up to their old tricks again, shoving tons of cash into developers’ G-strings to get an exclusive, or at best, a timed exlusive. We’ll have more info for you as this “rumor” takes root in the coming days.
