The Cocks at Gamecock just sent word that Pirates vs. Ninjas Dodgeball is hitting Xbox Live Arcade early next year. We knew it was going to be a downloadable title, but just weren't sure for which console until today. Honestly, I'm not surprised that they picked Xbox as their console of choice.

The game looks like it's going to be really fun and ... OK, screw it, I can't do this anymore. Ninjas win, plain and simple. There's no reason to even have a game like this. Pirates haven't got a chance in hell against the mighty Ninjas. Ninjas win. There, I spoiled the ending. Sorry Blazing Lizards.

Eternally Warring Camps To Meet On Neutral Ground For The First Time – The Dodgeball Court

Cockpit, Austin, TX – November 1, 2007 – Gamecock Media Group announced today that Blazing Lizard’s Pirates vs. Ninjas™ Dodgeball will debut on Xbox LIVE™ Arcade on Xbox 360™ in early 2008. The title looks to answer the age-old question of which much-revered profession is better, by settling the score…with (dodge)balls.

“It is no secret that Pirates and Ninjas have beef,” stated Chris Stockman, Studio Director of Blazing Lizard. “But it turns out both have a great love for dodgeball and unique skills when it comes to playing the game. We are bringing together sworn enemies for what I can guarantee will be explosive dodgeball action.”

Pirates vs. Ninjas™ Dodgeball will have sea-faring thieves squaring off against stealthy martial artists in beautiful environments. The game will allow for up to eight players and offer five teams, including pirates and ninjas and three more that will announced soon. Each team has their own unique style and techniques and is hell-bent on destroying the opposition.

Look for Pirates vs. Ninjas™ Dodgeball to hit an Xbox near you in early 2008.
