The Gunstringer release date announced

Colourful Kinect marionette shooter The Gunstringer arrives in UK stores on 16th September, developer Twisted Pixel has announced.

If the budget £29.99 price tag isn't enough to encourage you to take the plunge, publisher Microsoft Game Studios has decided to bundle in a voucher for Xbox Live Arcade offering Fruit Ninja Kinect to further sweeten the deal.

And that's not all. You'll also snag access to a free Gunstringer DLC pack called The Wavy Tube Man Chronicles.
