XBLA Wednesday: September 5th, 2012

Everybody was kung-fu fighting

Written by N0T PENNYS B0AT on 03 September 12 at 17:07

This week, the dashboard gets a double dose of martial arts -- one on Wednesday and then the other on Friday. Grab your shurikens and tie up those black belts tightly.

Kung-Fu Strike: The Warrior's Rise
Developer: 7 Sixty
Publisher: Qooc Soft
Price: 800 MSPIn Kung Fu Strike: The Warrior’s Rise, ancient China is being ripped apart by three warring forces, the Tian Empire, the invading forces of Shaa seeking to overthrow the Empire’s King, and a rebel uprising with their own agenda. Playing as martial arts master General Loh, you’re thrown into the middle of this bitter war armed only with your deadliest weapon: your fists. Fight your way through waves of enemies and towering bosses with lethal attacks, learn new skills to take down even the toughest opponent and see if you have what it takes to complete the frantic challenge modes. If going it alone is too much, then team up with a friend in co-op mode or show off your killer moves in the Versus Mode.Mark of the Ninja -- Releasing 9/7
Developer: Klei Entertainment
Publisher: Microsoft Studios
Price: TBAA ninja is powerful yet fragile. Quick but deliberate. Mark of the Ninja is a stealth platformer that puts you in control of a Ninja who's clan is in danger of extinction. Observe your enemies from the darkness, manipulate them with simple yet versatile tools, and experience what it is to be a Ninja. From the award-winning studio that brought you Shank, Mark of the Ninja is a game about finesse, manipulation, and sacrifice.

These are not tickling my taste buds, but will give them a demo to see if they surprise me (possibly with a roundhouse kick to the face. Roadhouse.)

Anything Kung Fu has me leery. That unrelated Kinect title still leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

sirbradenwalker - Only 47 tracked gamers have Sanctum 2 so far. That's a shame. Fun co-op but it's hard to get a good match going.

Was about to just outright pass, but that blurb about Mark of the Ninja sounds interesting. Have to dl the demo and see if it's any good.

Source: http://www.xbox360achievements.org/upcoming/Arcade/Pid is not coming Sep. 5th, I can confirm. Real soon though. They said "fall" I think but it sounds like this month or next.
