The History Of Shinobi

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to Arcadeperfect's article on the history of the Shinobi series, 1987-2004. It starts at the "maliciously hard" original version of Shinobi, through Shadow Dancer, in which Shinobi's mutt Yamato "retains the title of the video game dog daddy", all the way up to the current PS2 incarnation of Shinobi, which the reviewer claims is a "classic gamer's dream, for the same reasons it'll give casual gamers nightmares."

I enjoyed the memory trip and all, but did any body else find the writing... well, a canditate for The Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest? I seriously had to stop, reread and just laugh at the way the sentences were phrased.
