throwing knives, we were also able to check out a few special abilities. My character, Logan, was especially great at the art of jettisoning blades. So much so that when you press B on the 360 controller, he goes into a trance like state, zeros in on all enemies and launches them rapid fire. Another character goes into rage mode throwing a flurry of powerful fists.
