This Wednesday: XBLA dodges balls, plays cards and ... shreds nebulas?
The showdown between pirates and ninjas (also, robots and zombies) begins in earnest with the release of Pirates vs. Ninjas Dodgeball, a lighthearted celebration of long-dead cultures and non-fatal projectiles. The game and its 8-player online matches can be had for 800
($10).Similarly priced is Shred Nebula, which immediately defies expectations by being utterly devoid of guitar-playing space clouds. In fact, it offers "deep multiplayer space combat" for up to eight players online, along with Adventure, Score Attack and Deathmatch modes.
Finally, there's the online-capable and sufficiently self-explanatory Gin Rummy for 400
($5). That about does it for this paragraph.Gallery: Pirates vs. Ninjas Dodgeball

Precisely. Why bother with mere ninjas and pirates when in CC you can deal with pirate ninjas. The most fearsome mythical hybrid since Zerg-Protoss and uh, ligers?

If you loved SubSpace, you'll enjoy Shred Nebula.
I may pick up Gin Rummy - it's the one card game I'm an expert at.

The developer for shred nebula has a bad-ass logo.

Been waiting for dodgeball for a while now. Will be a fun party game. Ninjas FTW!

And, with that, the Summer of Arcade officially ends. Thus, begins, the Fall of Failure. I'll miss you summer.
CC FTW!

Is it some unspoken rule now that all pirates must look like Jack Sparrow?
