A peacful town finds itself victim to extreme violence and unrest. Gangs are spreading fear and tyranny among the townspeople, while the government is supressing justice with a brutal hand. A lone warrior arrives with the ability to change the town's destiny. Experience life as a Samurai in feudal Japan and battle to save the town of Amahara and employ traditional Samurai techniques with realistic sword fighting: acrobatic ninja style, quick slash, twin swords and more. The game features more than 60 swords to battle with, multiple endings based on players decisions -- help free the innocent or join the corrupt, and tons of special moves to take over your enemy.

The result is Way of the Samurai 2 -- the follow-up to a quirky and underrated action/adventure from 2002. While there's a whole lot more to like about the sequel, there's also a whole lot not to like. Read More »

"Non-linear" and "Japanese" are two words that you don't often see paired up together, at least when it comes to games. Most Japanese games (and a lot of Western ones, to be fair) feature linear narratives that proceed directly from point A to B to C -- Final Fantasy X is a perfect example. However, a few developers have dared to experiment outside these restrictive boundaries, giving players the ability to experience a storyline dynamically shaped by the choices they make. Read More »
