Ninjamurai Leaps Out Of The Shadows As Players Are Invited To Take a Sneak Peek Into The PSP Mini Title Coming This July

Video Game Developer Open Emotion Studios (http://www.openemotionstudios.com/), today unveiled the details behind the story and the cast of seven major characters in their upcoming PSP Mini title, Ninjamurai. Players will be introduced to the mysterious Ninja-Samurai, rejected by both sides of his parents’ heritage, along with his spunky sidekicks who each play an integral role in his journey of discovery.

In Ninjamurai, the player assumes the role of Takezou Nishimura (Also known as The Ninjamurai), a young warrior who is the offspring of a union between a Female Ninja and a male Samurai. Rejected by both sides and looked down on as a kind of a mongrel breed, Takezou can be impulsive due to his age and often has a cocky attitude. He does however have a good heart and a desire to help others. He is the most skilled warrior in his mountain shrine where he was raised by a man named Oro Sensei. After many years of training, Takezou is tasked with going into the nearby city and doing some recon. When he gets to the city he realizes something is amiss. It is overrun with Black Armor Militia and Takezou sets about destroying the Black Armor presence in the city. He meets a Black Armor commander named Bedros Majima, who informs him that the Black Armor was responsible for the murder of his parents.

Along the way, Takezou will interact with a varied cast of characters. Oro, the master of the mountain shrine, was once the master of the Ninja Clan, which Takezou’s mother was part of. When his young charges’ mother and father were slain, Oro took him in and raised him like his own. He is also the keeper of a sacred seal which keeps the dark dragon of the monastery in check. While once a powerful warrior, Oro’s fighting days are over.

Yukiko is Ninjamurai’s recon contact. She keeps him informed of enemy activity and notifies him of threats. Although she can be quite impatient and a bit strict, she is secretly quite soft and finds herself becoming quite fond of Nishimura.

The Black Armor is a dark evil being which absorbs the spirits from beings and incorporates them into digital data. He has been doing this for centuries and as such he has become one of the most powerful beings on the planet. He runs a conglomerate which is a front for illegal activities and he commands the largest ninja force in the world. The Black Armor Executioner is the right hand man to The Black Armor himself. He also has the ability to absorb the residual static (Souls) of warriors. He is obsessed with claiming Oro Sensei and Takezou, as he believes they are indomitable spirits that will give him an obscene amount of power. Perhaps enough to destroy Black Armor, and take over the clan himself…

Ninjamurai just recently became available for PSN in Europe and will be launching in North America in early July. For more information, please visit the official Website at http://www.openemotionstudios.com/

In GodsWar Online (http://gw.igg.com), titles are more than a sign of your accomplishments; they’re also a way to improve your character’s stats. With a rich variety of titles to choose from, players have a chance to visibly boast of their prowess while adding to it. After earning a title, simply activate it and your achievement will be plain to see as it floats above your head instantly boosts your stats. To learn more about the many types of titles available, check out the following categories, then log in and try some out for yourself to discover the benefits of your bragging rights.

Advancement Titles
To win such a title, players must meet certain level and power requirements. For example, when a Mage has reached Level 40 and increased spell power to 220, they can choose the Star Ray title. Advancement title requirements vary from class to class.

Quest Titles
These titles are earned by completing specific quests available to players who have advanced to the prerequisite level. For example, the “Hero’s Trial 1” quest is only available to level 70+ players and awards the Hero’s Path title upon completion. Most of these quests are difficult for characters near the minimum required level, so completing them early can earn you a great deal of respect.

Stat Titles
Some titles unlock once you’ve met some stat requirements. One good way to quickly augment stats is by equipping better gear, so improving your equipment can turn out to be doubly valuable. One example is the Lion’s Blood title, earned when a player’s maximum health reaches 20,000.

Event and Instance Titles
While these can only be obtained by participating in events and exploring instanced zones, you’ll also need to perform well to earn such titles. Scoring high enough will require a team that works well together, so these titles can be a challenge to unlock. Others are simply about beating incredible odds. For instance, the proud Greek Polymath title is only awarded for finishing in first place during a Quiz Contest that is open to all players on a server.

Marriage Titles
Only characters who get married in the game are awarded these titles. These unique, personalized titles mark you as somebody’s husband, somebody’s love, and so on. While ceremonies are nice, to earn the best titles in this category, you and your partner will need to overcome some serious challenges.
