Voodoo Vince bats for Xbox

News - MS will do anything for a quick buck...

Sometimes the truth can be stranger than fiction - as is the case with Microsoft's latest game announcement, the astonishingly titled: Voodoo Vince. This bizarre action game promises to be the only title that allows the player to win by hurting himself, an intriguing concept:

Voodoo Vince allows players to explore and fight as a tattered but unrelenting voodoo doll as he explores the depths of the Louisiana Bayou full of outrageous levels and over-the-top characters.

Unlikely hero Vince can poke himself with pins, set himself on fire and even beat himself with a mallet - all in the aid of comedy, and destroying the bad guys, natch. Battling through some promising sounding New Orleans style levels, to some funky jazz tunes, Vince will encounter all manner of walking dead foes, and even some malignant petrol pumps. I kid you not.

Beep Industries original sounding title will be with us on the Xbox come Autumn.
