Afro Samurai brings hip hop swordfighting to PS3
Spike TV's original anime featuring Samuel L. Jackson is heading over to PS3, as revealed in a Namco Bandai event today. The Afro Samurai game, scheduled for a Fall release later this year, promises to bring an "elegant violence" with stylish sword fighting. Interestingly, the music plays a large role in the game -- enemies will respond in tandem with the music.
Fans of the franchise will be glad to know that Sam Jackson will reprise his role as Afro, and the music of RZA and Chuy Gomez will set the tone for the new adventure. See our brand new screenshots in our new gallery, and check out a trailer, after the cut.

I loved the show and I'm definitely buying the game. I think it's a great idea for a game.

Afro the Samurai was unveiled (well, revealed to be a game) at this years Spike TV's Video Game Awards, although I'm glad its coming to PS3.
Got to love Samuel Jackson...
