Today Microsoft along with TECMO/Team Ninja announced that Ninja Gaiden II has passed the 1 million sales mark. A million copies sold is not an easy feat but fans seemed eager to get another chance to play as their favorite Ninja Ryu. The latest in the franchise and perhaps the last certainly has a reason to celebrate.

Castle Crashers will hit the XBL Arcade tomorrow and its price at 1200 Microsoft points. Not the 1800 first rumored while I still think all arcades games should stick to the 800 MS point price it’s priced better than first expected. Castle Crashers is a Hack and Slash adventure game and sounds interesting. Remember to check out the demo for the chance at free Microsoft points.

I have been excited with the footage and information on EA’s upcoming Sci-Fi/Horror game Dead Space. The game so far is shaping up to be one of those games you just want to see in action.

If you’re 18 or over and not afraid you can visit NoKnownSurvivors.com explore the Dead Space World and get new features each week. Warning this is not for the weak or those who faint easily the site will be updated each week with brand new content. Remember Dead Space hits stores on October 31st!

Fans of the Need for Speed series have seen the franchise take a few great steps forward. We have also seen the series take a several steps backwards. Last year’s attempt Pro Street looked decent and was alright but after Most Wanted racing on a closed course seemed a bit boring. Black Box must have got the hint because Need for Speed: Undercover hits stores this November and from what I have seen this one takes the action and plot from Most Wanted and pushes it to an all new high. The game will feature a deep story presented in a cinematic style and will star some of the hottest ladies in Hollywood today. Also the new Heroic Driving Engine will allow gamers to pull off insane moves at speeds well over 180 MPH. Look for more on this one it’s already on my must own list.

The team that created Pac-Man Championship Edition is about to show us what they can do with the classic game Galaga. This Wednesday Galaga Legions hits the Xbox Live Arcade.

After years of hearing about Too Human the game hits stores tomorrow for the Xbox 360. I know many of gamers are going to run out and buy the game. I am going to wait after playing the demo I am not as excited about the game. I know you can’t judge a game on the demo always. Just look at Forza for example but I just am not as excited for the game as I was. In any case for those waiting the game will be in stores tomorrow and post your thoughts in the forums. I will probably pick the game up just not right away.
