It seems it’s been a trend lately for XBLA games to release in pairs and while we were a bit less than thrilled with this week’s releases, next week does look superior.

Those crazy cats at Gamerscore Blog are at it again. This time they’ve set their sights on the upcoming Ninja Gaiden II. It seems that Ryu Hayabusa, main character of the Ninja Gaiden series and all-around badass, has given up his ninja way of life in favor of a cushy job at Microsoft. At least, we think he has a job there. The trouble is that no one at the Gamerscore Blog office can seem to find him and believe him to be a lazy bum. …
