we saw capcom's bizarre cyberconnect2-developed action game asura's wrath back at e3, and jc wrote up an excellent preview at the time. walking into the gamescom presentation of a previously unseen part of the game, i was reticent to write up yet another preview just a scant few months later, but that feeling quickly vacated my brain and was replaced with pure, unadulterated madness -- madness that i'd be remiss not to share.

if you're not already sold on asura's wrath, here's why you should be: you fight a dude on the moon. oh, is that not exciting enough? would it be better if you knew the dude you fight is a god? oh, and he's also obsessed with battle, constantly going on about how he ''''''lives for it'''''' and ... pffft, whatever, asura's not listening. he's too busy being furious and punching that dude in the face with one of his six arms.

you'll excuse my lack of tact, but i came out of the presentation grinning like a child, ready to evangelize the uniquely bizarre experience that is asura's wrath.gallery: asura's wrath (gamescom 2011)
