Earlier this morning Microsoft released a fact sheet and nice batch of screens for their upcoming stelth-action title, Ninja Blade.

While the game is a welcome addition to the stealth-action, hack-n-slash genre a few questions arise from reading both the fact sheet and the Game Detail Page on Xbox.com and also from looking at the newly released screens. For instance, why release post Ninja Gaiden II at a lower resolution of 720P? And in turn, why attach a $59.99 price point as opposed to say, a $49.99 price point? Also, it would appear that our ninja protagonist, Ken Ogawa suffers from an identity crisis: one part Ryu Hayabusa, one part Green Hornet. I am hoping that this look will either grow on me or FromSoftware will toss in some DLC that allows him to cover up that ninja mug. We’re supposed to be going for stealth here, remember?

Nitpicking aside, Ninja Blade definitely has me yearning to go slice up some genetically mutated monsters.
