Mark of the Ninja - (2D Tenchu from the makers of Shank)

Me too. While I'd normally just wait for it to come out on PC, I sort of want to play it on the couch.

Steam version, $3.75. It's more than worth that price

I'm in awe of how much good stuff is coming out this month. Dragon's Crown, Charlie Murder, Ducktales Remastered and now this:

"Mark of the Ninja Special Edition DLC has made its way through certification and will be released on Friday, August 16th on both XBLA *and* Steam!

The DLC will be $4.99 on Steam and 400 MS points on XBLA!

Aside from a new level, non-lethal playstyle and two new items, there is also a *ton* of developer commentary from many members of the team that we're really excited to share."

So this, Charlie Murder, and Ducktales all come out in the same week. Fuck yeah!

Do you like beat 'em ups? Ska Studios is an indie studio run by James Silva that made two of my faves on Xbox Live Arcade with the Dishwasher games(he also got some indie cred with I Made a Game with Zombies in It!). The Dishwasher Samurai games were kind of like 2D versions of games like Ninja Gaiden and Devil May Cry. Now he's making something that looks a bit more like a traditional, old school, four player arcade beat 'em up.

Hmm looks interesting, although the aesthetic is a bit of a turnoff. I've wanted to try the Dishwasher games for a while now (because you suggested them). I should try that one first I think, it seems more my style.

I would suggest playing Vampire Smiles. It's the second game, but it's more balanced difficulty-wise. Both games are fairly tough, but the first one really doesn't hold back. Vampires Smiles is better overall and a little more accessible. Though you'll miss out a bit on the first game's story, but it's not like these are rpgs or adventure games so it's not a big deal
