Oni in Newsweek
Kudos to Darksbane for pointing out and David Bricker for transcribing a brief mention of Oni in a recent issue of Newsweek. Das blurb:
It may look like just another shoot-Тem-up, but youТll need more than a fast gun to beat Oni ($40; Take 2 Interactive, 212-334-6633). This intense game for PC, Mac and PlayStation 2 mixes traditional third-person action with martial-arts combat and a Japanese anime style. As Konoko, the star agent of the Technology Crimes Task Force, your mission is to take down a ruthless crime syndicate without harming innocent civilians. To succeed, you must master hand-to-hand combat moves, including punches, kicks, throws and vicious combinations. The game can be tough at first, mostly because of the sheer complexity of the moves, but itТs a blast all the same.
Reads like an advertisement, doesn't it? Mildly annoying that Bungie isn't listed, though I guess custom is to print the publisher. Curious how Bungie's games tend to show up more often in more serious media, especially considering their relative obscurity in the gaming market.
