Nope, this isn't Nariko's (from Heavenly Sword) younger and blonder sister. The girl featured in the image above is Ayumi, the tenacious heroine of the upcoming third-person action game X-Blades.

The game will feature anime-style cut scenes along with a special combination of cinematic animation and relentless high-speed gameplay. Enter Ayumi, with her pistol blades, acrobatic ability and magic spells as she takes on demonic hordes and spectacular landscapes in this latest hack and slash game developed by SouthPeak Games.

James Seaman, Managing Director at TopWare Interactive, explains that the character designs and the gameplay for X-Blades takes its roots from the anime genre. According to Seaman, it promises to be a "killer title that gamers and animation fans won't be able to put down".

X-Blades is scheduled for release late this year and will be available for the PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii. Keep yourselves posted to this space for more updates regarding this game. In the meantime, check out the rest of the screenshots we have of Ayumi in action below.

Yet another game with a half-naked blade-wielding heroine that can probably take tons of damage with barely any armor, and diss out ass kickings! /sarcasm
:/

you can clearly see her a** cheeks in the 4th pic... that would look gross in 1080 or 720... definitely wouldn't buy this i bet even a gamecube could pull off those gfx.

and to anyone who would buy this game... how would you explain the horrible sight of a pixely anime chick a** on your screen to you friend,mom,sister,dad,brother,kids?
