X-Blades swinging in late 2008

The publisher is banking on the idea that this game is going to move copies because the lame American Anime main character is bare @ss. It's worked before to various degrees... But yeah, mediocre at best.

m already liking the coun f it.... though next tomb raider is also coming out so to looking frward to a good competition

Heavenly Sword. As soon as you look, you cant help but say it. I love my 360, so dont hate on me. This is the poor-man's Heavenly sword. This BETTA be XBL. Those graphics are 2 gens back. I dont want to hear the details about what is different.. yada yada... Heavenly Sword.

Really?? The Next Gen Systems Will be out later this year? I shouldnt have bought my Wii last May if i'd known that the Wii 2.0 would be out later this year

Could be good. I'll keep an eye on this one.

sexy

interesting

The picture included with this article is just a portion of one of the pictures in the game's gallery. It actually doesn't look that bad, but could still use some work.

Kinda like Devil May Cry but with a chick as the main character! Wait a sec...that's not much different that DMC4...

I think that it's foolish to make assumptions about this game given the total lack of real info offered. That said, I agree that a vague press release shouldn't be featured news on a respectable site. The same reasons that it's a bad idea to draw conclusions about this game from the article are the same reasons that it isn't NEWS.

So we've got the guys who worked on Two Worlds and Monster madness paired up with the ones who have, most recently, been working on a Pinball game? Oh yeah, definitely feeling my confidence inspired by this. How is this featured news? Whats next, Culture as the top news release? Pfft.

man, this is the 3rd game that if u read in between the lines it says, DMC rip with a hot chick running the show. check Wet as well, same thing as this! oh well, unless they surprise me heavily this si not gonna be on my radar!

this is featured news?

They made Two Worlds. Why aren't they already?

Acrobatics, guns, and swords. If this turns into a Devil May Cry ripoff I'll make sure this developer goes into my Black List.

Since when are A cups and over-sized boots "stunningly seductive"? Maybe if you like the little girl look.... Still it doesn't sound entirely bad. Pistol blades are at least intriguing.

At first glance this game looks a lot like the Crimson Sea series... and that's a good thing. That said, one fuzzy screenshot and an incredibly vague bit of marketing jazz doesn't make or break a game... lets just be patient and see where it goes. It's not as though we have to front the money for it's development after all.

Dosent look good. Need more info.

How have they still go jobs!?

STOP SAYING NEXT-GEN!!!! Its Current Gen now.

It looks fairly generic but I'm always up for giving a new hack and slasher a spin.

Sounds and looks fairly generic (though I have nothing against the "art design").

I need more info before I decide to buy or not.

What...? Way too unrealistic (ie. losing the suspension of disbelief). Sorry, but Tomb Raider still has that special magic.

If the name were x rated, id buy it.

We could always use some more female lead characters, but X Blades sounds like too dull a name for a game. If it was even X, that would be an improvement. It says nothing special about the game.

I don't really wanna put a game down before it's even out, but everything about this looks like it belongs to the 90s or something - the title, the graphics (ok maybe not quite PS1 yet), the character. Unless it turns out to be a real sleeper hit or something, I don't see how something like this is gonna stand out in the sea of games coming out these days.

i don't see how this game looks interesting

Hopefully there will be more info on this game soon.

Looks interesting hope it can measure up.

"due on next-gen consoles and PC by the end of the year." Sorry to tell you Emma Boyes but the "Next gen" systems have been out for almost 2 years now...

Sounds like it could be good, but games like these are a penny a dozen so they are going to have to make a solid game with some new features to really sell it to the masses.

topware?!?! of Two worlds fame? (or imfamy) oh man....

xgalacticax Anime Style slasher??? count me in. I hope its more like devil may cry than stuff like Dynasty warriors. ================================ I agree with you 100 %. Games that feature women beating up on people will always be favorites of mine. In fact, I should pick up Heavenly Sword this weekend.

somehow im expecting it to be mediocre/lame. of course, i hope not.

Not gonna knock the game til I hear more about it...but I doubt it'll shine through the huge titles in "late 2008"

Color me unimpressed

haha AAA!

You lost points for not mentioning Samus Aran.

wow, what a terribly unoriginal idea. i can only hope the studio behind this goes bankrupt. where's clover studio when you need them? oh, wait, nevermind.....

... Forget about quality news from the videogame industry, from now on we're posting pictures of half-naked women from various upcoming video games who're "stunningly seductive yet tenacious". So aside of the obvious, what's this game about?

Good God I hope that is an XBLA title...it looks awful. Hopefully that is just a really early screen or something is wrong with it.

peeweeshift, i don't know what youve been smoking but kameo was an amazing game

Southpeak should really ask TopWare to snap some better screens. These first images are bland, poorly positioned and the gamma is off. There might be a good-looking game hidden there somewhere, but these meh screens are doing the title a disservice.

looks worse than kameo a system release title. she looks hot for like a game maybe made 5 years ago. whatever at least 7 year olds will be happy.

I pass on this on.

Bad graphics and looks and sounds lame.Don't expect anything good...

maybe it will be good......maybe not.

This looks like GameCube graphics, must be really rubbish from the looks of it. Just bring back Gauntlet Dark Legacy in 1080i and 1080p. Then it will all be good.
