PSX Extreme: X-Blades Preview

PSX Extreme writes: "You may, or may not, have heard about and seen screenshots of a very vivid action game called X-Blades. Developed by TopWare Interactive, a studio you've never heard of unless you're a die-hard PC gamer, X-Blades looks to bring some extremely exciting action gameplay that should remind gamers of Heavenly Sword and God of War. While, I can certainly do with a name far less generic than X-Blades, I still have high hopes for the title, despite TopWare's ho-hum track record.

X-Blades follows the story of Ayumi, an adventurer who is out on the quest for invaluable stones, after discovering a map that may potentially lead her to them. Ayumi struggles with forces from inside of her, as they threaten to be unleashed, and so she believes that these stones are the secret to ridding her of the curse that lies within her body. The story will be presented in an epic fashion, and will unravel with in-game cutscenes, as you'd expect. TopWare also boasts that stylistic visual touches, much like bullet-time, will be found in the game's presentation."
