Although it's possibly of little interest to the folks here due to different tastes this has upset me a little; I'm not a huge fan of modern computer games as they're all the shooting/driving/sports sim types which hold no interest no matter how pretty they are. But there are a few that I find simply epic and nearly all have been by this chap. Ninja Gaiden, IMO is probably the best modern game ever, can't wait for part 2 on Friday, the DOA series took the martial arts arcade game to new levels and eliminated the 'button-bashers' that made the genre stale. News of problems within Tecmo and that there will be no more DOA or NG games with him at the helm will leave me wondering whether I'll ever get my monies worth from the purchase of the 360 & PS3 with no new games to play.

I hope that something can be worked out.
