Sometimes I’m a simple man, and these new screenshots for Sega’sViking: Battle for Asgardcertainly speak to my baser instincts. In one screen there’s a giant troll, all battle scarred and dripping with blood. In another screen the game’s protagonist Skarin decapitates an enemy, and another shows him tearing through a torso, exposing what appears to be intestines. Finally, there’s some menacing looking chick wearing a tight leather strapless outfit.
What more can you ask for in this battle between mortal and gods in Asgard, the realm of the Norse Gods? I mean, there’s a story here involving Odin, Freya, and friends … but who cares? you’re able to slice a dude in half, bro. And that chick? She’s totally wearing a strapless leather outfit, dude.
The single-player hack and slash adventure ofViking: Battle for Asgardships on March 25, and will be available on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Oh, and did I mention it’s rated M?
