New games, 'Afro Samurai' edition

Today, a game was released that I know close to nothing about, but I hope with everything I have that it's good.


Afro Samurai, originally of Cartoon Network, Samuel L. Jackson and The RZA fame, is now a video game out for the PS3 and 360. I'm sincerely hoping that this game lives up to the hype that my brain has been surrounding it with. I mean, look at that image. The Afro Samurai aesthetic is incredibly awesome.

I guess I could break down my fascination with it step by step: I like samurais, I like swords, I like David Carradine (slightly unrelated, but stay with me here), I like the super-rad graphics of the new Prince of Persia game, I like The RZA and I'm a big fan of action games. So this has potential to make me super-giddy.

Don't let us down, Afro Samurai.
