Bullet Witch rides her broom across the Pacific

If there's a 360 game from Japan that's creating plenty of buzz right now, it's Dead Rising. Wait... we meant a game that actually hadn't yet been announced for US release. So scratch that: we're talking about Bullet Witch.

The game puts you in the magical shoes of a feisty witch named Alicia. By 2013, the world has become overrun with demons - and the human race is on the brink of being wiped out. The best solution, apparently, is to send a sexy woman with a gun shaped like a broom into the fray. It's not exactly Spielberg, but it'll do.

In the meantime, you can check out ourprevious story on the game, laden down with screens from the near-final Japanese version. We've also got a couple of new images to go along with the US release announcement, so don't forget to take a stab at the Images tab up above to see them all in their delicious 360-powered high resolution.
