Bayonetta Review
Some are calling Bayonetta an early contender for game of the year. GameDaily's Libe Goad checked it out for our weekly video game review. "Bayonetta is one of the weirdest games, but also one of the most entertaining games in recent video game history," Goad says. The game features a witch named Bayonetta who has guns attached to all of her limbs. "If that wasn't weird enough, she also has magic hair, and she basically uses her hair to unleash savage attacks against her enemies," Goad describes. In addition to her magic hair, all of Bayonetta's powers include punches, kicks, and shooting. "There's never been more ways to creatively kick butt in a video game," Goad says. "It's a really fun fighting game that's good for someone who's an experienced gamer or somebody who's totally new to this form of entertainment."Bayonetta is available for the Xbox and PlayStation 3.
