XBLA: Xbox Indies: Charlie Murder Announced (Ska Studios)

Ska Studios, also known as one-man money making machine James Silva, has announced his next upcoming title - Charlie Murder.

This 4 player side-scrolling beat-em-up follows Charlie Murder, a punk band who's got beef with rival metal band Gore Quaffer. Battle it out against metal heads as you bash your way though levels to retrieve the lead singer's girlfriend.

The game will be coming out in "March. probably." Could an Xbox Live Indie Game stand a chance to lure the Castle Crashers crowd out once again?

Interesting. The font and art style is more reminiscent of Alien Hominid (albeit rougher).

Seems to be heavy on the graphic violence. I think that's against the indie game guidelines. Not that those mean much but I imagine some parent somewhere might call MS about the game after they see their kid playing it.
