Yukes announces XBLA game, Double D Dodgeball, and it's not what you think photo

If Team Ninja were responsible for the upcoming Xbox LIVE Arcade title Double D Dodgeball, it would have featured exquisitely animated females bouncing around and tossing balls at each other. For most of you, we would have been talking "insta-sale."

Instead, what you'll be getting later this year is a Yukes-developed competitive dodgeball titled featuring neon aliens and squid creatures. Yeah, I'm disappointed, too. The title will feature a variety of characters, each with unique attributes and shot types. The game supports 8-players multiplayer matches via Xbox LIVE, so you and seven of your friends can bitch about the game's failure to deliver on the promise of "double d."

Like most newly announced Xbox LIVE arcade games, Double D Dodgeball has no release date. Or breasts.

What a bunch of tricky bitches.

It's like if a developer named a game Rock Back and it had nothing to do with rock music.

Awwh..I saw Yukes and XBLA and had hoped for Evil Zone. Could be..good? Kind of looks like Geometry Wars - Volleyball Edition.

I can't believe the subtitle is "Bruise More Than Egos".
