Publisher SEGA today officially named January 5 as the release date for the upcoming stylish action game Bayonetta.

Mark your calendars, as January 5, 2010 in North America and thee days later on Jan. 8 in Europe, you’ll be playing the billboard sexy title.

Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu recently praised the game and gave it a perfect 40/40 score on Xbox 360 and a 38/40 for PS3, so we have great things to look forward to, right?
