If you want to show off your new toy, there are few better demonstrations than this sword-fighting epic. Infinity Blade II is a series of one-on-one battles in which dodging, parrying and blocking attacks are just as important as slashing your foes. This sequel adds some role-playing elements and more alternate paths to the goal, but the core attraction remains the same: bone-crunching combat in breathtaking environments.
