Ninja Blade to Cut Your Xbox 360
Microsoft has revealed a new game about Ninjas fighting monsters in modern-day Japan. No, it's not Ninja Gaiden III. This is Ninja Blade. Get that? 'Blade'.

The game was unveiled at a Japanese media briefing put together by Microsoft. Details are a bit thin on the ground, but a teaser trailer was shown (ninja, helicopter, dragons, running down the side of a building. and the game was described as a "cinematic action" game. The game will be set in Tokyo, featuring "famous Tokyo landmarks" such as Shinjuku Station.

It's being developed by From Software, which has spent a lot of time with the Armored Core series and produced stealthy ninja action title, Tenchu Z. Lost Planet designer Keiji Nakoka is reportedly working on the game, while the score for the video below was provided by Norihiko Hibino, who has worked on Konami's Metal Gear series.

Anyway, dig in!

I'd be more impressed if Microsoft were using their position as platform holder to produce something original. This smacks of someone in Microsoft saying "Itagaki has left so we need a replacement for Ninja Gaiden."

Sony and Nintendo produce innovative titles for their platforms; from Wii Fitness to EyePet they are defining new genres and reinventing old ones. Microsoft only seem to churn out more of the same stuff. Viva Piņata is the only innovative game I can remember Microsoft developing or even publishing off the top of my head.

No problem, but getting excited for a trailer because it advertises a game for 360 is pretty weak, what's weaker tho is that it shows f**k all to get excited about.

Any good thing about the Sony PS3? The ONLY good thing is the blu-ray player I guess, other than that it seriously lacks games, decent exlcusives and RPG's not to mention graphically most of the games except MGS4 look poor. Online is a joke and so is the interface, along with that absolute terrible controller!!! The triggers are the worst triggers ever made!!!

Going back on topic I want to say that FROM Software are absolutely crap developers, this gen their games have been miserable. I have no expectations of their new title but have noticed this gen its been about visuals yet environments and destruction are still well not last gen even as last gen we did have destructive environments!

Is this being developed by the guys that did Otogi 1 and 2? If so, it could be quite good. Otherwise, I'll pass....
