Blazing Lizard, the company recently formed by former members of Volition (Saints Row), has announced what will no doubt be one of the most earth-shattering games yet created on this planet, Pirates Vs. Ninjas Dodgeball. Yes, the game seeks to answer the centuries old questions of which group is superior. What better way to do that than with a good old fashioned game of dodgeball, right? Actually, it's not strictly old fashioned, as teams are not restricted to one side of the court, being allowed instead to run anywhere they see fit. PvN Dodgeball is set to be the first in the Pirates Vs. Ninja series -- we can only guess what other sports Blazing Lizard has in mind -- and will be available via as yet unannounced download services. We're assuming that Xbox Live Arcade is a safe bet at this point. Oh, and if by some minute chance you prefer neither ninjas nor pirates, there are three other teams from which to choose, though Blazing Lizard has yet to announce what those teams are (lawyers maybe?). Pirates Vs. Ninjas Dodgeball is scheduled to arrive during the first quarter of 2008.

Richard, you had me at 'Dodgeball'.
I would love to try the other teams, but write me down for a ninja.
Other teams: Hmm..it'd be fun to play as zombies, as long as they could move fast!

This sis such a great idea. Iam totally getting tired of FPS and RPGs.. these are great for the hardcore gamer but if u wanna just have some casual fun then these games like bomberman are the best to play...

Nothing like a good-old NES Classic remade with sweet graphics and cool new twists... Anybody else see visions of Super Dodgeball--bug eyes popping out and little angels with harps floating off the field?... Iceland Rocked!

Vampires vs Werewolves
Zombies vs Mutants
PC vs Mac vs Linux (or Bill Gates vs Steve Jobs, vs Linus Torvalds)
Lots of fun could be had!
