"Afro Samurai’s visual quality lies in that of its accentuated character animation. Not just relative weight in a universe with believable rules (or, at least, a tangible enough presentation to allow for suspension of disbelief) or facial expressions; each and every storyline character behaves with a personal grace. With much of the game’s signposting reliant on your equally animated pendant, occasional issues arrive in determining when your Focus Mode has recharged or which attacks are gainin..."
"Games are expensive and time consuming. As a consumer you deserve the best for the money you work so hard for—especially in the current economic climate. With that in mind, I have compiled a short list of games that looked promising and generated a lot of gamer attention, but ultimately proved unworthy of your cash. I’m not saying that the titles selected are horrible, because many of these games have garnered a loyal fan base and do offer a good time. Instead, the point of the article is to ..."
Word is in from Microsoft's Major Nelson: a demo is now up for Afro Samurai, so now you have no excuse not to try!
The action adventure title is said to "blend traditional Japanese culture, funky technology and hip hop to create a brutally fresh interactive experience".
No word on a PSN demo, but keep your eyes peeled and let us know if you spot anything.
"Samuel L. Jackson and Kelly Hu, who provide voices for Afro Samurai/Ninja Ninja and Okiku in the new Afro Samurai video game, told reporters they enjoyed putting M-rated violence in players' hands. Jackson, who also produces the TV series on which the game is based, felt violence was imperative to the Afro Samurai experience."

"Right on target for its January 27 launch, Afro Samurai--developed by the Namco Bandai-created label Surge--has gone gold. As we speak, thousands of Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 discs are being pressed into service to show off the gorgeous cross-hatching art style based on the Samuel L. Jackson starred and executive produced animated series. It's really nothing more than a tale of revenge, but it's going to look good while serving that dish up cold"
This samurai tale with a hip hop twist was created by Shinichiro Watanabe, of Cowboy Bebop fame, and produced by studio Manglobe.This game will be soon in your hands, but what are the extra perks that will be given with the game made just for you?
"Afro Samurai, the pseudo-anime series, is a visual feast, a kinetic whirlwind of animated style that puts so many TV shows to shame. Namco Bandai is looking to capture that in their action-adventure game of the same name, and if they are able to replicate even a tenth of the shows cinematic splendor, itll be quite the feat.
From these screenshots boasting an awesome cel-shaded style, it looks like they are well on their way to capture the artistry. Well just have to wait and see how the..."
