Afro Samurai hip-hops onto 360, PS3 this Fall

"Hip hop infused action adventure" news now, with Namco Bandai announcing a Fall 2008 release window for Afro Samurai, a video game adaptation of the popular animated series starring Mr. Samuel L. Jackson. The Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 game follows the acrobatic Afro as he seeks revenge for the murder of his father and "fights to become the number one warrior." The game will stick to the storyline established in the series, while adding material and background that's sure to be appreciated by fans.

Of course, Samuel L. Jackson returns to provide dialogue, as well as the myriad of grunts sure to emanate as he kills enemies who are "affected by the beat of the musical score produced by RZA of Wu-Tang Clan fame." Lucky them.

This could be either epic win or massive failure depending on who is developing this game and if Samuel L. Jackson is doing the voice that's just one reason to buy this game,anything Samuel L. Jackson says is pure solid gold.

Afro Samurai was a show I wanted to like but the action was so dark and quick that I didn't knew what the hell just happened.

Anyway it simply can't be worse than most Naruto games.

I dig it.
