Afro Samurai Screens Show Blaxploitation Bushido

June 6, 2008 1:59 PM

Namco Bandai has released new screenshots of its upcoming game adaptation of the stylish anime series Afro Samurai.

Similar to the North American localization of the anime which aired on Spike TV, the titular protagonist will be voiced by veteran actor Samuel L. Jackson. The Afro Samurai game will focus on hack-and-slash gameplay with a pronounced emphasis on strategic swordplay and dodging.

Afro Samurai is expected to hit the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 this fall.

Never really paid much attention to the show (not a fan of Samuel L.), but the screenshots are pretty.

    That's some fine looking meat right there. My mouth is slightly watering at the thought.
