IGN.com has a descriptivereview of Nano Breaker:
    Buckets and buckets and buckets of blood are involved in NanoBreaker. On second thought, forget the buckets and just bring a full-ontanker. Sure, the game may call the red stuff that gushes out of theopponents "oil," but everyone knows that this game is about the gore.Take a peek at one screen and you'll know what we mean. With a combatsystem that favors combos and building up to super powers, Nano Breakeris a pure-bred hack'n'slash and lives up to the genre. We got a chanceto play it and all we can think about is blood. More here
If you're wondering about the "nano" in the game (does it reallymatter?), here's how they weave it into the ... um ... plot.
    Apparently the nanomachines of the future go bad and begin toharvest the blood of humans and the iron of buildings in order toconstruct an army of monster machines poised to obliterate the entirehuman race. Not so good. More here
Any nano-knowledgable gamers out there who can write? I can offer nomoney for nano-themed game reviews, but I can offer you nano-fame atthe price of total loss of respect from your peers. Sendme a note if you're interested.

Update: More Nano Breaker reviews can be found here and here.
