  • That title could have two different meanings depending on how you pronounce Gaiden.

    We’ve got a Coleman and Tim show this week, but that’s okay because there’s much to discuss. This includes Ninja Gaiden 2 Black, Xbox’s Developer Direct, some significant changes at PlayStation, and restructuring for some other studios.
