Pirates Vs. Ninjas Dodgeball: best game ever?
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!

Take what you can...
Give nothing back!
(Pirates, of course)

Also My fav was the Bill super move where the ball disappears up in the sky and lands on your head. Loved fucking with people.

"A team of Chuck Norris. Not multiples mind you, you only need one."
LOL :)
(And believe me, I use the term sparingly)
nothing left @ Aug 14th 2007 4:28PM
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!

The 5 D's of Dodgeball. Dodge, duck, dip dive, and...dodge.

Tim @ Aug 14th 2007 9:51PM
How about Chuck Norris vs. Everbody in the Bar? Or vs. Bad Guy's Henchman?
Clayj @ Aug 14th 2007 10:49PM
Can there be an option where you can chuck a wrench at someone to stun them?
After all, if you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball.
Rabiddog @ Aug 14th 2007 10:50PM
Are you guys crazy. Everybody knows Charles Bronson could kick Chuck Norris a$$
