Not long ago Tomonobu Itagaki, the number one guy at Tecmo and responsible for boobtastic Dead or Alive series and the blood splattering Ninja Gaiden series, gave his long time bosses the flip over a pay dispute and went out to make his own way in the world and his own game. That game is called Devil's Third and one look at the trailer must be enough to have Tecmo bashing their head of the all like crazy. The trailer basically looks like Ninja Gaiden 2 with guns.

Hold one hand behind your head to catch your brain with as you watch the trailer below. Personally it just makes me laugh like a crazy maniac and wake everyone in my house when I watch it.

In a supremely wise move the good people at THQ just had to hear the words Tomonobu and Itagaki and were ready to sign his new development Valhalla Game Studios on and release whatever they produced. Itagaki's quoted goal with Devil's Third is to provide, “direct feeling of killing” which in his opinion, current shooters lack. Mental. Absolutely mental.

My those paper cuts can bleed like the dickens

So whats the game about? All that's been revealed is that it's a wold spanning game and is related to the Kessler Syndrome Theory. One of those cheery end of the world scenarios where all the space junk in our atmosphere starts crashing into each other and essentially machine gunning earth with red hot debris, destroying satellites and eliminating all those important early warning systems that are so important for international diplomacy. The title has something to do with music, notably the nordic opera of Wagner which you may notice playing over the trailer.

If you've never experienced the balletic uber violence of Ninja Gaiden I suggest you educate yourself before Devil's Third is released later this year.
