2D stealth action ninja game from the dev behind the Shank games.  Levels can be completely without killing the enemies.  Looks really fun.

360 version out on September 7th.  Guy says later on PC.  Surprised this wasn't a summer of arcade title instead of that one kinect angry birds boom blox game.

Yeah this game is kinda bad ass. More people should be buying it and playing it.

And yeah its also bizarre that Deadlight made the Summer of Arcade and this didn't.

Much more entertaining than those Shank games which is what had me skeptical.

Probably, but it'll be like 6 months late because Microsoft are douchebags.

whats also weird is how Deadlight made summer of arcade but Spelunky didn't.

Spelunky has a lot of indie cred and I like the game and understand why people really like it but it doesn't have a lot of mainstream appeal. So I'm not surprised it didn't make the summer of arcade by comparison.

I'm normally not one of those champion a game so it can get better sales types but absolutely I repeat more people should be playing this and talking about this. It's the most fun xbla game outside of trials evolution that I've played in ages. This is up there with the limbo's and the shadow complex's etc.


I play just a few levels every day so I don't burn through it because I think its pretty short but man am I having fun. It reminds me of the first time you played metal gear and how amazing that seemed and how that sort of simple stealth gameplay was lost as they added more and more stuff into metal gear. The stealth is awesome because the enemies are just meat puppets. They have very basic behaviors and AI but that is absolutely perfect for the gameplay here where its about doing badass shit and feeling like a sneaky bastard. You don't want demanding tough AI for that. You just need predictable behavior so you can play out what you want to do with the tools you have. In that sense its like a puzzle game meets a stealth game. So good. Great music. Great game. Good shit.
