Age of Booty XBLA bound October 15 for $10

We promised we would write this entire post without making a single lame pirate joke and we're sticking to it. Capcom announced yesterday that its Xbox Live Arcade real-time strategy pirate game, Age of Booty, would land on the service on October 15 and will be priced at 800MS points. Capcom, hot off the heels of the successful Bionic Commando Rearmed release and prepping for a Mega Man 9 launch this Wednesday, promises a great experience on the boardgame-esque high-seas.

Age of Booty from developer Certain Affinity, which once went by the less risqe title Plunder, has already received positive impressions from our sister site Joystiq from preview code in the past. Hopefully the multiplayer-focused, real-time downloadable title will be able to set itself apart when it releases among some of the most anticipated games of the year. Gather ye Microsoft Sea points and prepare for the adventure... Arrr! Well, we almost made it.

I'll reserve judgement for the trial. My only worry is if it's a bit 'slow'. Slow gameplay I mean.

P.S. Yarrrr!

Is this a real time strategy porno game?

Oh, and I thought the pirate joke's punchline would be "18"...

This game's title...well, it just makes me think of it as something other than a pirate game. I would have stuck with Plunder if I was Certain Affinity.
