Sometimes I'm a simple man, and these new screenshots for Sega's Viking: Battle for Asgard certainly speak to my baser instincts. In one screen there's a giant troll, all battle scarred and dripping with blood. In another screen the game's protagonist Skarin decapitates an enemy, and another shows him tearing through a torso, exposing what appears to be intestines. Finally, there's some menacing looking chick wearing a tight leather strapless outfit.
What more can you ask for in this battle between mortal and gods in Asgard, the realm of the Norse Gods? I mean, there's a story here involving Odin, Freya, and friends ... but who cares? You can slice a dude in half, bro. And that chick? She's totally wearing a strapless leather outfit, dude.
The single-player hack and slash adventure of Viking: Battle for Asgard ships on March 25, and will be available on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Oh, and did I mention it's rated M?

Damn, with Viking, Dark Sector and Rainbow Six 2, I'm going to be very busy on my 360.
Let us hope that Viking is more than just a pretty face.
Also, I love the art style. It's like a darker grittier Fable.
Can not wait to tear shit up and earn my way into Valhalla!
Unless it has blood codes, YEAH!!!
Published, it's being delevolped by the guys who make the Total War series.
That said, I want this now.
Although I do love me some gore from now and then, depends really how much my fiancials can take 8(
Also, going to wait for a review. But I wont't whine promise!
Hope I can rape and pillage. It's not Vikingy unless you can rape and pillage... perhaps, Assassin's Creed style, you also play in the present day, working for the US military... then there would be rape and pillage.
Also, it looks like the men are as naked as the women in this game, which is unusual/awesome. I love the tattoos.
I know what you mean man
...I suddenly want to watch 13th Warrior again.
if this were a "good" game, we would have heard a lot more by now - we would know a lot more on the game play by now as well (good news travels).
if your 10, you'll probably like it (yeah, conan rocked!). if your an adult, something tells me that the issues below will more than likely be present:
poor\frustrating combat mechanics
poor ai issues
poor game play graphics - which are over compensated by cool cut scenes
poor voice acting
poor plot
etc....
DO WANT.
