HelenBaby from Plus XP writes "Now for a new segment on PlusXP. I’ve decided that, from time to time, I’m going to go out and sample a selection of the latest gaming demos available out there before coming back and collating my impressions into an article on here. Sound good so far?
For my first set of demo reviews I’ve decided to look at the most recent 5 demos to be found on Xbox-Live (not including Kinect titles as I don’t have one!). This time these happen to consists of Blades of Time, Naruto Storm Generations, FIFA Street, Birds of Steel and Tiger Wood PGA Tour 13. The full retail versions of all of these games are now available to purchase."
Blades of Time launched 10 years ago today, and has been all-but forgotten since. That's a shame however, as it had some interesting ideas.
I actually enjoyed what I played of the (prequel, I think?) X-Blades. It had some really rough edges, but what was there was quite fun to be fair.
X-Blades was the first title, Blades of Time was a sequel (with a very different look!).
Actually looks female, I almost forgot they did character designs like that back in the day.
Said the same thing myself. I run into lots of games nowadays that try to run as far away from what a female looks like (some games are even afraid to call them female in character creation lol).
Only it exemplified a problem that in turn got over exaggerated by social political exploiters.
Stop voting Democrat wolves in sheep skin.
And I'm a inter city black American by the time we realized it, it was to late and they Trojan horse that $h!t.
The only "problem" the game had was that its only real selling point was an attractive female.
It's an okay game, not the best, but not the worst either. I found that the game got annoying towards the end, especially that final boss fight. But hey, compared to X-Blades? Blades of Time is a huge improvement. Just look at the cover art!

While the future of FIFA 23 remains uncertain, EA could inject life back into the franchise with a new FIFA Street game.
While we're at it, can we get rid of NBA Live and get NBA Street Homecourt back? Or NBA Jam?!
I miss the the PS2, GCN and Xbox days. I always preferred the arcade style sports games over the simulation entries. They were more entertaining for me to watch or play. There was a lot more variety back then as well. You had options. Now not so much.
Blades of Time was a mess of a game in 2012. In 2019 for the Nintendo Switch, it hasn’t seen many, if any upgrades. You’re better off skipping this game.
Why anyone would buy this on a system that has access to Bayonetta and Bayonetta 2 i'll never know.
This was a mediocre game that was not well received and never sold well. Humble Bundle even had it for a $1.00 at one point. Let's remaster it for Switch? Why?
