It has been one crazy week, and the craziest thing happening at home base while Jonathan and Shawn were in LA was the amount of assets we received in our inboxes on a daily basis. I have decided to post the lonely screens and trailers that did not get their very own post into one large post full of links. There’s just is not enough time to post them all, so this is the best way I know how.
While this is not a comprehensive list of what was not covered, it is close. There are more screens floating around out there that we have yet to get, but if or when we do, we will do our best to wow you with them.
Below you will find a list of games from A-N and a link to the trailer or screens for it. Be sure to look over the list carefully, because something you are interested in may be included. I have highlighted ones that may be of special interest.
Looks like we’re back to the regular updates to the PlayStation Store, with significantly fewer videos being released yesterday. No worries, though, as in lieu of that you can get your hands on the demo or full version of Elefunk ($5) which I’m really looking forward to playing. (I mysteriously can’t connect to PSN this morning, like Sony is just trying to tease me.)
A new PS1 Classic has been released, as well: the original Rayman ($6), which I’m actually very interested in playing for old time’s sake, and it seems like a perfect game to transfer to the PSP and play on the go.
Naruto fans can find a demo of Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm, which I know nothing about because I like neither storms of ninjas nor Naruto. So, that kinda kills it for me.
And a last half dozen E3 videos were also posted, including the final two parts of Sony’s press conference, and trailers for both Project Origin and Mercenaries 2.
As we head towards final countdown until E3 2008 commences, companies are rushing to release their line ups for the event. D3Publisher has a line up with something almost all gaming platforms. Most of the games should be familiar with anyione who’s a fan of Cartoon Network.
Onechanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayers is the most mature title in the lineup. Although the series has quite a following and its own movie in Japan; this will be the bikini-clad samurai sisters’ debut in the US. Puzzle Quest: Galactrix and Bangai-O Spirits will also have their moment in the spotlight.
The rest of the games are based on popular Cartoon Network shows and should be somewhat familiar to those gamers not living under a rock. NARUTO: Clash of Ninja Revolution 2, BEN 10: ALIEN FORCE The Game, NARUTO: Path of the Ninja 2, and Shaun the Sheep round out D3P’s line up for this year.
You can find more details on each of these up coming video games after the break. Read the full article
It was only a matter of time before Qore got an exclusive demo, and it didn’t take long. Qore Episode 2 was released today and includes the exclusive Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm demo. (I wonder how many diehard Naruto fans fork over the $3 entry fee to play the demo.) It’s also got part one of a three part series on the development of Resistance 2. In other words, I continue to regret having purchased a subscription when Qore was first released.
Qore is pretty much the main attraction this week. You can find the week’s new Rock Band tracks (including one free track) and the free Guitar Hero III Top Gun track that Stephany posted about on Tuesday. Although I wouldn’t recommend grabbing the latter, not unless you want to torture yourself with garbage.
Loads of different titles are coming out starting tomorrow, and we have the full list for you right here. Looks like it is going to be an interesting week in gaming, so let us know what you plan on purchasing.

The Wii is finally going to get its very own original Naruto title with a story designed specifically for North America. TOMY Corporation and D3Publisher of America, Inc. have announced that Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution 2 is on its way to Nintendo’s latest console.
As the first NARUTO Wii title designed specifically for the North American audience, Clash of Ninja Revolution 2 promises an impressive list of playable characters from the NARUTO universe, a polished and well-balanced fighting engine, and a deep, original storyline that expands upon episodes from VIZ Media’s hit animated TV series NARUTO. NARUTO: Clash of Ninja Revolution 2 will support widescreen (16:9) and progressive scan at 480p when it hits stores this fall.
The story line for the game starts from Sasuke’s exodus from Leaf Village to gain more power from Orochimaru. Clash of Ninja Revolution 2 features destructible stages and four-player multiplayer battles. It also promises multiple gameplay modes and characters not yet seen on the Clash of Ninja series that have been developed specifically for this original storyline.
All NA ninjas out there can look forward to grabbing Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution 2 this fall. In the mean time check out this fresh batch of Clash of Ninja Revolution 2 screenshotson FileFront.

A title like that doesn’t write itself very often, so I’m happy to take advantage. The new Rocketmen expansion pack, It Came From Uranus, is now available on the PlayStation Store. You’ll also now find two new Hot Shots Golf characters, each of which cost $.99, and are small enough that I reckon they’re already on the Blu-ray disc you hold in your hands.
Rounding out the DLC scene is this week’s installment of Rock Band tracks and 21 new Karaoke Revolution: American Idol tracks.
Namco Bandai has released a new Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Heroes 2 trailer for the PSP. The footage shows off the game’s unique combination of one-on-one combat and interactive storytelling. It’s all about team building using new jutsu, secret techniques and characters to defend the Hidden Leaf Village from the forces of the mysterious Phantom Fortress. The “extreme ninja action” is looking good on the PSP. Fans of the original shouldn’t be disappointed
Coming to the PS3 sometime this Fall, is another Naruto adventure for fans to revel in. Is it just me or does it seem like there is a new Naruto game released every three months or so? No matter I guess, because this is the first time the world-famous ninja is appearing on the PS3.
Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm contains interactive multi-dimensional battle grounds and and explorable world that promises to bring the look and feel of the popular TV show to the PS3.
Features:
Experience Jaw-Dropping Cinematic Quality HD Graphics: Witness the cinema-quality animation comes to life in high definition. The line between Naruto animation and game graphics will truly disappear!
Roam Freely On Dynamic Multi-Dimensional Battle Grounds: Prepare to battle on robust, multi-dimensional battle grounds. Take advantage of the unique characteristics of each battle field! Battle is no longer limited to flat ground surfaces.
Unleash Your Ninja Dream Team: Form your own three-man dream squad to battle your opponents! Unleash your allies to defend you in battle, or order them to perform cooperative attacks against your opponents!
Discover A Brand New Mission Based Adventure Mode: Challenge a total of 100 compelling missions in Ultimate Mission Mode and experience the original animated TV series storyline up through the Sasuke Retrieval Arc!
Unleash Massive Secret Techniques on An Unprecedented Scale: Using the power of the PlayStation 3, you can now destroy your enemies with bigger, meaner, stronger and more cinematic secret techniques than ever before!
Master 25 Fully Transformable Warriors: Behold your characters transforming into powerful superior warriors in battle! All characters will possess amazing power that will expand the very scale of a battle to the next level!
Check back often as I am sure that Namco Bandai will issue a press release regarding an exact release date relatively soon. You can also view more of the new screens for the game by clicking here.
