number 10 castlevania lords of Shadow
the Castlevania series is one of the
legends of gaming history this
installment dared to take the franchise
in a new direction with interesting
results who is originally announced as
being independent of the series and
dispenses with RPG elements in favor of
more action bringing it into the hack
and slash arm while this game is still
divisive within the Castlevania fanbase
when examined alone it’s certainly a
fantastic adventure number 9 brutal
legend I can fix anything except for
that you know is dead this heavy metal
inspired title cranked the volume up to
11 for a one-of-a-kind hack and slash
experience by combining it with real
time strategy elements you play as Eddie
the Jack Black voiced roadie fights evil
overlords with a battle ax and a Flying
V guitar now get away from that guitar
just to nothing the clever sense of
humor and the cartoony graphics
create a game world unlike any other the
open-world design with its many side
quests will keep you occupied for hours
oh man don’t tell me I’ve been slaying
hot girls this whole time
number 8 No More Heroes 2 before you
start your desperate struggling you
should drop a nice save straight-up

the wheat but this was one title that
managed to pull it off the Wiimote

best swordplay on the console
when you face off against the intense
bosses you’ll be glad to have the katana
at your side the gorgeous visuals and
engaging story complements the excellent
gameplay number seven Metal Gear Rising
revengeance
despite its stupid name and only a few
elements from the classic Metal Gear
series rising forges its own path by
replacing reliance on stealth with
frenetic action though you face off
against seemingly insurmountable odds
the game’s blade mode will help you out
by allowing you to target exactly where
you want to aim your sword and the
unrivaled cutting mechanic these dicing
has never felt or looked so good number

game doesn’t stray much from the core of
the hack and slash genre you choose a
character pick a weapon to arm him with

there are dozens of cool ways to combine
your attacks and a seemingly endless
array of enemies and bosses to use them
against
foolishness
number three Bayonetta

the saying but this is not really a game
that sticks with convention either the

control is a witch who uses her magic
for crazy hair and guns attached to her
stilettos to combat the angelic
opponents who get in her way because you
can attach weapons to each of your four
limbs there’s no end to the combinations

deadly ice skates to unlock number 2

greater fiending go ghoul

types of characters you’d rather have
protagonist we use ninja skills will

against the gods themselves for
betraying him resulting in one of the
