32. Ninja Gaiden 2, Microsoft - 360

What we said: Playing Ninja Gaiden 2 is a very different experience to playing the majority of games. No other game we've ever played is as rewarding so often. Whether it's for simply beating a wave of blood-thirsty bats or for finally slaying a boss you've been tearing your hair out over for more than an hour, the sense of reward and gratification is practically unrivalled.
