Well the time is upon us, a legend comes out of retirement to take on the evil forces. Enter Strider Hiryu, the great ninja assassin who was originally an arcade classic back in the late 80's. Capcom have kindly released a launch trailer, which shows us some of the gameplay from Strider, and I got to admit it looks pretty damn awesome.

February 19 the game is released in Europe on Steam, which is priced at €14.99 / £11.99. So whether you are a fan of Hiryu and played the original back in the day, or this is your first time seeing / playing Strider, then you should check this out. I loved the arcade version and spent many a 10p playing it on holidays, so I will be hoping to get my hands on this very soon.
