For those who may not know, this is the update to Ninja Gaiden 3 released earlier this month across the PS3 and 360 platforms.

RabidChihuahua posted a Quick Tip about Crysis 2.
March 24

The only real drawback to the game is that the "open world" factor has been cut back a bit and there's less versatility in what vehicles you can take control of. However, it earns some big points with its more solidified, developed storyline, meaner enemies (particularly the Seph creatures), … more
