Skulls of the Shogun

Get a glimpse into the creation of a downloadable game with this video of Haunted Temple's great-looking new strategy game.

We've been wildly excited about Skulls of the Shogun since we first saw the game several months ago. The unique concept and tight gameplay look extremely promising, mixing traditional strategy with a more action-oriented and accessible approach to gameplay. Developer Haunted Temple recently revealed that the game is on track to release on XBLA this January, and that the title is being published by Microsoft.

A new video on the game focuses on the game's creation, and offers a fascinating look at what it takes to build a new franchise from scratch.
