If you're anything like us, your enjoyment of anything Afro Samurai instantly begins with the mention of Samuel L. Jackson. Let's face it people, SLJ is all kinds of awesome and his voice work in Afro Samurai is top notch. Watch this slow motion in game footage which stars the vocal work of Jackson as Afro screaming to hit a solid hand, as it were, in body part poker. Afro Samurai lands on the Xbox 360 this week with music from The RZA and Ron Perlman reprising his role as Justice. Jump in for another video of in game footage.

oh please tell me that "body part poker" line is not frequent. That could get so annoying so fast if it can't be muted.
I have the game pre-ordered though, and i am looking forward to it.

I think I now prefer the Dave Chappelle parody of Samuel Jackson to the actual Samuel Jackson.
Dave's Sam is funnier, and less self-aware.

He sounds different than he looks. I figured Afro would have a mellow low tone deep voice.

Afro does have a more mellow voice, the voice you heard was the character ninja-ninja..also played by Sam J.

Yipee. Looks like yet another hack-n-slash, pointless fight-the-mob game. I just got rid of The Force Unleashed for being the same sort of inane game.
But the anime fanboys will gobble it up. Anything with a katana in it wins their affections.

Loving Afro Samurai, I am excited for this. Also being a huge SLJ fan.. (I went and saw SoaP at the opening midnight showing!) I will be getting this eventually. Not sure if I will right away, as I've got numerous games already to still play. But soon, this will have to be played.
Its looking really good and for sure as usual, SLJ sounds great!
BTW.. I loved the video.
