There's lots of detail in each character's design, especially the main warriors. Granted, those clones looked pretty nice in the thick of battle. We noticed some differences between basic grunt enemies and archers, and every once in a while we'd come across individual commander types, but generally we found ourselves fighting off lots and lots of clones. The actual variance in enemy types didn't seem especially huge, though. Whether it was standard soldiers or hordes and hordes of goblins, huge swarms of them would come at us in any given battle.

To put it mildly, there were a metric ton of enemies and allied soldiers battling it out at once throughout each of the few levels we played through. The thing that sets Ninety-Nine Nights apart from the archetypal Dynasty Warriors game is the scope of the battlefields. There were some aerial attacks and juggling combos, as well, but even that stuff seemed pretty easy to pull off. Many of the game's attack combos seemed to consist of random combinations of the X and Y buttons on the 360 controller. If you've ever played a Dynasty Warriors or anything closely resembling one, you'll have a pretty good idea of what to expect from Ninety-Nine Nights' action. Unfortunately, we weren't able to get much of a sense of the actual plotline from the demo we played-at least not beyond the basic concept of, "You are a warrior, and you kill lots and lots of dudes." The two of them are part of an overarching storyline that is told from the perspective of seven different playable characters. Inphyy's brother also played a significant role on the battlefield during our time with the game, though he wasn't playable in this demo. Inphyy is described as the daughter of a powerful warrior who was slain by goblins years prior. The lone playable character in the demo version of Ninety-Nine Nights was Inphyy, a buxomly attractive female warrior with a fairly large sword as her primary weapon. We took some time to sit down and play Ninety-Nine Nights on the show floor, and while the game does seem extremely simplistic, we'll confess to having some fun with it anyway. The game is currently slated for a US release later this year, and it's on display at Microsoft's booth here at E3 2006.

The game's been out in Japan for a little while now and just hit Korea this past month. But Ninety-Nine Nights is a pure hack-and-slasher, brought to you by both Mizuguchi's Q! Entertainment and Kingdom Under Fire developers Phantagram. The case details suggest a multiplicity of factors associated with this condition and provide the foundation for a model outlining the potential mechanism for the development of osteonecrosis of the jaw among patients taking bisphosphonates for an indication other than cancer.LOS ANGELES-As the mind behind such intriguing titles as Lumines, Meteos, and Rez, the hack-and-slash genre might not be the first place you'd expect designer Tetsuya Mizuguchi to go on his first console game of the new generation. Of all cases providing medical information, 71% were taking at least one medication that affects bone turnover in addition to the bisphosphonate, and 81.3% reported additional underlying health conditions.

Of the 63 patients reporting dental care information, 88.9% had a dental procedure before the onset of osteonecrosis of the jaw. The mean age was 69.4 years, 87.3% were female, and 83.3% were receiving oral, but not intravenous, bisphosphonates. These cases included 85 osteoporosis patients, 10 patients with Paget's disease, 2 patients with rheumatoid arthritis, 1 patient with diabetes, and 1 patient with maxillary fibrous dysplasia. Ninety-nine cases of osteonecrosis of the jaw were identified among patients who were prescribed a bisphosphonate for an indication other than cancer. Data were analyzed according to previous models to develop a more expanded model that may explain possible mechanisms for the development of osteonecrosis of the jaw among patients without cancer. It is unclear if the risk factors associated with osteonecrosis of the jaw among cancer patients taking bisphosphonates also are possible risk factors among patients receiving these medications for other indications.Ī systematic review search strategy was used to identify cases of osteonecrosis of the jaw among patients taking bisphosphonates for an indication other than cancer to identify potential contributing factors. Osteonecrosis of the jaw has been reported among patients receiving these medications. Bisphosphonates are medications that impact bone reformation by inhibiting osteoclast function.
