NINJA GAIDEN BLACK
DEVELOPER: TEAM NINJA RELEASE: 2005
■ One of the great things about collecting for the Xbox is that many of its best exclusives are still relatively cheap and rarely cross the £50 barrier. Ninja Gaiden Black is one such example, as you can pick up a copy of Team Ninja’s enhanced hit from as low as £5.50. Granted, £20 is more typical, but that’s still a good investment for one of the system’s best action games, especially when you consider the arcade version is included as an unlockable extra. One thing to keep in mind is that Ninja Gaiden Black was part of the Classics range in the UK (much of its content was available as DLC for the original game) so its box art is completely different to the standard art that adorns most Xbox releases. The Japanese version is dearer, with prices starting at £26, while the US one is a little cheaper starting at £25.
