XBLA This Week: Pirates, Ninjas, Spaceships, And Gin
10:30AM Mike Fahey | Now that the Summer of Live Arcade is over, Xbox Live Arcade is back to business as usual in a rather unusual fashion, releasing not one, not two, but three new games. Tomorrow sees the release of the ultimate battle between good and stupid as Blazing Lizard’s Pirates Vs. Ninjas Dodgeball hits the XBLA, along with CrunchTime Games’ space-shooter Shred Nebula, both at 800 Microsoft points. Joining the two bigger titles is Gin Rummy (400 Microsoft points), a card game I am pretty sure my grandmother used to play, though I might be mixing that up with Cribbage. So, you guys planning on picking up any of these? Which ones? If your answer is Gin Rummy, congratulations on figuring out how to use a computer to surf the web. Tell your helpful grandson I said hi!

Pirates Vs. Ninja Dodgeball Coming To Wii
1:20AM Mike Fahey | I always knew the age-old conflict between pirates and ninja was too large to be contained by one console. Today Gamecock announces that Blazing Lizards’ Pirates vs. Ninjas Dodgeball, coming out next week on Xbox Live Arcade, will also be getting a full retail release on the Nintendo Wii later this winter. Players will be able to face off in the dodgeball arena, showing their support for their favourite faction – pirates, ninjas, robots, zombies, and three unannounced teams, which I am guessing are monkeys, samurai, and Argentina. The Wii version of the game will feature several customised control schemes, as well as all-new story and challenge modes to make the game worth of retail release. Hit the jump for the full press release, along with two more screens worth of hot pirate vs. ninja Wii action. More »
Pirates vs. Ninjas Dodgeball Hits LIVE Arcade Next Month
9:40AM Michael McWhertor | Gamecock checked in with us today to date Pirates vs. Ninjas Dodgeball, the Blazing Lizard developed, Gamecock published game that some of us might have already thought was out. Obviously, it hasn’t been released, as it was delayed back in April, and is now due to hit Xbox Live Arcade on September 3. In the meantime, the dev team has added new features, such as having up to five balls in play at once, an “old-school” dodgeball gameplay mode and an enhanced mode that follows traditional rules, but lets players — whether they be pirate, ninja, zombie or robot — use special moves. You can check out our hands-on impressions of Pirates vs. Ninjas Dodgeball to see the title sounds better or worse than the game’s current dodgeball competition. More »Pirates Vs. Ninjas Dodgeball – Now With Zombies And Robots, Too
6:20AM Leigh Alexander | If there was one word that made grade-school Leigh suddenly fake appendicitis on the floor in gym class, it was Dodgeball. So it was with great apprehension and a little resistance that I decided to have a look at Gamecock’s Pirates vs. Ninjas Dodgeball, developed by Blazing Lizard for a July release over Xbox Live Arcade. Up to four players can compete together locally or co-op, and online multiplayer is for up to eight. You can also compete against three AIs all by your lonesome, so there are a lot of options – You get the idea. So did I get creamed on the video game the same way I used to as a little geek? More »
