"Another day, another hack ‘n’ slash fighter on the old Xbox 360.

"The Current-Generation revival of the infamous Golden Axe series has been a long time coming. Originally rumoured for an update on the Previous-Generation systems and finally announced for Xbox360 and PLAYSTATION3 back at E3 2006, developer Secret Level and publisher SEGA touted the game as blockbuster material.
