If you're like many people out there who couldn't get enough of former MMA fighter Gina Carano in (i)Haywire(/i), her lead-role debut, then you'll be pleased to know that she is in serious to talks to become one of the lucky participants in the next (i)Fast and the Furious(/i) chapter.(br /)(br /)Whether her drifting skills are as sharp as her submissions will remain to be seen.

Originally from a popular comic series by Stan Sakai, teh comic stars Usagi, rabbit who has assumed the role of a (i)ronin(/i) in feudal Japan. Adventures ensue, honor is upheld, and a strict code of (i)Bushido(/i) is adhered to. Seriously, you should take a weekend to acquaint yourself with the series. It's amazing.(br /)(br /)The motion comic above, which was just launched by Dark Horse Comics today, provides a brilliant taste of Usagi both for newcomers and seasoned veterans alike. Oh, and if you're wondering where else you've seen this long-eared wanderer, you just have to think back to your early (i)Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles(/i) days. He has had cameos in both the comics and the television series of the Turtles.

Not content with releasing a sub=par Ninja Gaiden sequel, the developers have decided to offer players a free "Ultimate Ninja" difficulty upgrade. You know, in case you didn't think it was (s)bad(/s) hard enough the first time through.(br /)(br /)The update also adds Ninja Trial and extra, customizable items for the low low price of $9.99.

Their newest trailer pretty much combines the last two into a full minute-and-a-half video which also teases some actual gameplay footage.(br /)(br /)While the port is looking good from what we can tell, someone needs to just hurry up and greenlight a feature-length movie already. I've a sneaking suspicion that one or two people would watch something like that.
