Gamecock Media Group has announced that Blazing Lizard's Pirates vs. Ninjas Dodgeball has made its way onto Xbox Live Arcade for the Xbox 360.

Players must join the ranks of savage pirates or enter the dojo of the mysterious ninja (or robots or zombies should they desire) as they battle to unconsciousness in the world's most epic dodgeball matches.

"I love pirates," said Captain Rick Stults, Console Chief at Gamecock Media Group.

"Everyone knows ninjas beat down pirates daily," countered Chris Stockman, Studio Director of Blazing Lizard.

Continued Captain Rick, "Our office isn't immune to the timeless debate and even now I brandish a cutlass and eye patch to show my support. The debate has gone on for long enough and I'm ready to see pirates rise to the top and put those pyjama pansies in their place."

To which Chris said, "What Rick doesn't know is both prefer to settle the score on the dodgeball field. We are bringing together mortal adversaries for what I can guarantee will be intense dodgeball action. Albeit one in which the ninja warrior will prevail."

The title includes a full story and traditional and enhanced dodgeball modes with multiplayer support for 4 players Local / 8 players Online, and 4-player Co-op modes.
