The first Ninja Gaiden game for the original X-Box console was one of the best games I played, and that is including the Halo series. Released approximately at the same time as Halo, Ninja Gaiden pushed the mere 700 MHz X-Box to the limit and featured absolutely stunning animation and beautifully rendered backgrounds of an amazing world of a fiend-infested Vigoorian empire. When Ninja Gaiden II for XBox 360 came out, I just had to see what Team Ninja can do with three 3.2 GHz cores.
