With the bitter news that PROTOTYPE has been delayed to 2009, gamers must turn elsewhere to get their blood and mangled bodies fix. Good thing then that Team NINJA’s Ninja Gaiden 2 is coming June 6; and what better way to build the anticipation to painful heights than by reading an all out preview and guide to the new Xbox 360 title?

GamerZines has put out a free downloadable Ninja Gaiden 2 magazine, (direct link to PDF), overflowing with interactive elements, screens and gameplay videos throughout its pages.

They start off with a history on the franchise before providing an in-depth tour of the game. Features covered include game modes and complete control workings, tips on weapons and play styles as well as a walkthrough of what to expect when playing the game they say is “poetry in motion” in the right hands. And if you ever wanted an Xbox 360 autographed by famed producer Tomonobu Itagaki, creator of Dead or Alive and leader of Team NINJA, sitting under your tv, then that’s another reason to check the mag out.

GamerZines puts out free monthly videogame magazines for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, PSP, DS and MMO games. No membership is required to check them out, all you need is Adobe Reader.
