Being an adventure fanatic, Blades of Time has been the only game as of recently to spark my interest.

gamerscritic.it: Blades of Time worths 8 of 10!

We gave the game a rating of 8 out of 10, so good job guys! We have been very positively surprised and impressed by the game, it looked very interesting and fast-paced (maybe just a bit too linear). We appreciated very much the Time rewind mechanic and the puzzles based on it. (Italian)

trgamer.com: Blades of Time is a beautiful game!

Features section designs, especially the main characters — Ayumi modeling, modeling of the enemy — they look extremely beautiful. Very beautiful location designs, one can see — every room is different. (Turkish)

Nowgamer: Gaijin has got the right point

Gaijin has got what’s most important right, so though the idea of it being a cross-between Tomb Raider and Darksiders should be taken with a pinch of salt, it’s a more engaging game than some of the bland adventures we’ve had with Lara recently.

EGM Now: Blades of Time: If I Could Save Time in a Bottle

When Russia’s Gaijin Entertainment made «Oniblade» in 2007 — or «X-Blades» as it was known when it came out in the U.S. and Europe two years later — they attempted to make a Japanese-style hack & slash action game (and, many critics would argue, failed miserably).

Xbox magazine: Blades of Time preview

As the Back to the Future films tell us, time travel has rules. You’re not supposed to let your past self see you, nor should you change the past. Fortunately for Blades of Time protagonist Ayumi, those rules don’t seem to apply in her universe.

Games Radar: Blades of time preview

Badass hot chicks beating the crap out of monsters, flipping around in skimpy outfits and speaking with thick English accents might sell a few games, but unless a title can provide a real reason for gamer to pick it up, it could be bound for failure.

EGM Now: Birds of Steel: Tails of ordinary madness

When «Forza Motorsport 4» came out last October, it took a unique approach to driving games by being both a realistic racing sim and an arcade-esque driving game. Now the World War II aerial dogfighting game «Birds of Steel» — which is slated to be released on the 360 and PS3 in March — is similarly attempting to have it both ways.

Inside Gaming Daily: Birds of Steel: Hands On

Despite taking place in World War II and having a title styled as ____ of ____, Birds of Steel has one powerful and unique boast; when it calls itself «realistic» it actually means it. This is — or can be, depending on how you configure it — a simulation in the strictest sense of the term. I’m talking your plane will handle differently as you consume through your fuel. This is the sort of game that doesn’t use an arbitrary number of hit points to represent your plane’s health. Each bullet is modeled in its placement and damage to the plane. You can get shot in the fuselage all day, but one bullet through the cockpit and you’re out.

Gamesradar: Birds of Steel preview

Looking for another chance to be World War II fighter pilot during the campaign in the Pacific? Flight sim enthusiasts and history buffs will want to check out Birds of Steel, an air combat sim that puts players in the cockpits of fighter pilots flying actual missions during WWII. Flight sims may be a dime a dozen these days, but Gaijin Entertainment is attempting to add to the genre to make an even more engaging experience than other simulators.

GameSpot: PC periph evolves EyeToy promise

… Russian developer Gaijin Entertainment has provided the answer to that question with its in-development title Flight of Fancy. Displayed at this year's E3 (in the depths of Kentia Hall), the PC game lets the player control a dragon's flight by flapping his arms in front of a motion-tracking camera. A ghost image of the player's arms is shown on the screen, and it's fascinating to see how accurately the dragon follows your movements. Raising your arms makes the dragon climb, and dropping them to your sides sends the dragon into a dive. Speed is controlled by flapping faster or slower, and turns are accomplished by tilting your arms and body, sending the dragon into a banked turn. … GameSpot: PC periph evolves EyeToy promise
