Review: Bayonetta
digg_url = 'http://www.joystiq.com/2010/01/07/review-bayonetta/'; The first thing you should know about Bayonetta is that the story is entirely unimportant. It makes no sense. At all. Period. There's something about two warring clans, one of witches and one of sages (Light vs. Dark -- yada yada yada). There's a "journalist" who inexplicably carries a grappling hook; an ancient god that's being resurrected; and, at one point, there's even a dance-off. Now, forget about all of that. You'll be skipping through it on your second playthrough anyway. And that's really the point. If you like action games in the vein of Devil May Cry or Ninja Gaiden, you'll probably start your second playthrough of Bayonetta exactly when I did: immediately after the first. %Gallery-22955%

And then there are the prizes, with one lucky individual walking away with a custom Xbox 360. This little shindig is not open to the general public, however, and you'll need to be at least 21 years old to enter (like all good things in life), so you'll have to win yourself a ticket.
