EGM has some screens of the much-anticipated Sony PlayStation 3 action game Heavenly Sword. The June issue is due out on May 8th but someone apparently got a hold of the copy and scanned the images. Thanks to him, we all can see these lovely scans. Check them out:

New details have also been revealed about how Nuriko will dazzle and decapitate enemies. When your style points go up, deadly moves are unlocked to splatter blood and guts all over town. Kratos better get himself ready. He don't want no bimbo stealing his thunder, would he?

The SIXAXIS will be put to a good test here, too. Projectiles can be fired casually or can be guided with the controller. "If you pick up a shield, you can throw it, and if you hold down the button, you’ll go into this flying camera with the shield and maneuver it while it’s in midair. Same goes with shooting the crossbow," says SCEA Producer Kyle Shubel. Way to cross Captain America with Max Payne.

More than the combat, the developers are trumpeting the graphics that the game will introduce. "We’ve got a level of grace and fluidity in our combat. You move in like a dance-like state where you’re doing a lot of complex maneuvers, and the more crazy stuff you execute, the more style points you accumulate."

Whoa! It's not too late to shoe-in Shakira as an unlockable character, right?

Actually, I prefered the cartoony style of Nariko in the E3 demo over this new face. :(

The graphics look crap for Gears of War. Your weak $600, Gaystation 3 only has 256MB of Ram, What a S!!t Load of F!@k.

We've already seen plenty of footage of the game in action. I'm certainly buying this game, but I'm not blown away or anything. It's another hack n slash adventure game kinda like God of War.
