Review: Mark of the Ninja (This Is My Joystick)

The plot of Mark of the Ninja (MOTN) seems about as thin as the paper it’s written on at first, it but twists and turns considerably over its ten-or-so hours. You play an unnamed ninja who, following a vicious and unprovoked attack on his clan, decides to take on the poisonous but supernaturally useful set of tattoos known as The Mark. While the tattoos will eventually kill him, in the mean time they grant him mad powers that will help him avenge the deaths of his many clansmen and put to rest the people responsible. -
