Pirates And Ninjas Love Balls...

... of the sporting variety obviously.
If you've always wondered how pirates and ninjas would fare in a battle, and let's face it who hasn't, then you'll be jumping for joy with this news. Gamecock Media Group have announced that Pirates vs Ninjas Dodgeball will be released soon on Xbox LIVE Arcade. It's time for two funky professions to fight it out and settle the score once and for all, to find out who holds the title as coolest badass in town.. or at least at the dodgeball arena.
The gameplay will allow for up to eight players and is set amidst a series of unusual environments to keep it interesting. Each team will have their own set of fighting techniques and style. There will be five playable teams, pirates, ninjas and three as yet unannounced others. My money is on aliens, cowboys and Amazons for the last three teams. Ok, the Amazons is purely my own preference, but hopefully there will be some female characters in there too.
Pirates vs Ninjas Dodgeball will be thumping you in the face with a ball in early 2008 on Xbox LIVE Arcade. Finally, the chance to engage in smack talk in a pirate accent.








the quite unimaginatively titled and extremely obscure "Dodgeball" (for the PS2) featured teams of cowboys, philosophers, composers and samurai, among others. which I think makes it better than this one.
This whole pirates/ninjas thing is getting really tired and annoying.
I think I'm going to have to agree with Keith on this one. The best thing to come out of the announcement of this game may well have been Gadget Girl's title of this article!
