Have you downloaded the recently announced Tenchu Z demo over at Xbox Live Marketplace and found yourself craving for more ninja action? Worry not as North American gamers can finally get their hands on the real deal with Microsoft and From Software informing us of its availability starting today in retail stores across the region.

Part of the renowned Tenchu franchise, Tenchu Z is the first mission-based ninja stealth action game for the Xbox 360. In this video game, players are encouraged to develop their stealth skills while killing every single enemy. Of course, you can also opt to openly engage your opponents but more reward will be given if you stick to the ninja way.

This game has its own customization feature that lets players create their own characters and develop face types, hair features, outfits, and accessories among others. In terms of gameplay, Tenchu Z offers both single play and multiplay through Xbox Live or System Link.

Tenchu Z has been given a rating of "M" by the Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB). It can be purchased for a suggested price of US$ 59.99.

Want some free love from Microsoft? Well, you're just in time because the Xbox Live Marketplace has just been updated with the addition of two new free demos. The two video game titles are Vampire Rain and Tenchu Z and the demo sizes are approximately 844.7MB and 641.8MB respectively.

First off, Vampire Rain was created by Artoon and will be published by AQ Interactive. The title itself is kind of a mix between survival horror, stealth, and shooting. Here, players are tasked to lead a black ops unit and eliminate the deadly Nightwalkers while keeping it secret the whole time.

When you get the demo, you should be treated to two full missions as well as two experience trials. Quite interestingly, it also comes with an Xbox Live multiplayer experience unlike any other where you can experience the power of a Nightwalker first hand. The download is available for members in Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Mexico, New Zealand, and Singapore.

Then we have Tenchu Z, the localized version of hit Japanese title Tenchu Senran from From Software. The demo is available in all markets around the globe save for places in Asia. It includes a single player mission and pre-selected ninja accessories from the full game.

Tenchu Z has recently gone gold and will be available in stores this coming June 12.

 

Microsoft has just officially announced that the awaited American port of Tenchu Senran has now gone gold. The single master copy in the world will now be used to create the shurikens compact discs of Tenchu Z for the Xbox 360. Tenchu Z will be hitting stores on June 12 in North America.

Parents stay alert: this game is rated "M" for Mature by the ESRB and should be yours for a suggested retail price of US$ 59.99. K2 assures that this game will entice all fans of the Tenchu franchise and the ninja neophytes to enjoy the silent assassins of ancient Japan in full next-gen glory.

For European fans, you can expect Microsoft and From Software's Tenchu Z to arrive in June 29, and join your American ninja brethren over Xbox Live in collaborative efforts to bring down those evil warlords and lay waste to enemies. Because for the ultimate ninjas, "walking on the wind" is just half of the fun.
