"X-Blades" for Xbox360/PS3 out! Rie Kugimiya voices over the "Bikini-size" 3D action-adventure game "X-Blades" for Xbox360/PS3 has come out.

"X-Blades" is a hack-and-slash style action-adventure game in which the player must fight monsters, using a pair of gun blades and spells, controlling "Ayumi" a beautiful treasure hunter. The concept of a beautiful girl swinging armor seems taken from Japanese anime and other sub-culture scenes.

The game play is a 3D action in a 3rd person viewpoint. The player fights monsters with a pair of gunblades and 5 different magic spells. The player can enjoy from a RPG point of view by attaining new gunblades, skills and spells by consuming "Soul"s after defeating a monster.

The Japanese version of the character voice(CV) of "Ayumi"is done by "Queen of Tsundere", Rie Kugimiya. Kugimiya plays the role of an innocent yet still strong treasure hunter.
