There seems to be a peculiar sub-species of the genre that involves ridiculously over the top fight sequences and excessively long plotlines; Dragonball Z may be the most famous example, but Naruto is not that far behind. With an ardent army of admirers of both the animated series and now the game after the fairly successful debut on the 360, it would be a huge disappointment if this game didn't do the series justice and build on the solid foundations laid down by its predecessor.
Ubisoft did a good job with Rise of a Ninja, and seemed to have successfully fused one-on-one fighting and sandbox gameplay to some extent. There were a few quibbles with glitches during the game though, most notably tied to the downloadable content causing the game to freeze, and achievements being distinctly hard to unlock. Here then, is a chance to iron out all of those issues and create a lush game world for people to run around in. Oh, did I mention you get to run around doing cool ninja stuff? No? Well it's a pretty important aspect as we all know ninjas are "hella cool..."
Namco Bandai Games has today announced that the Naruto videogame franchise has shipped 10 million copies worldwide since the launch of the first game in 2003. Namco Bandai Games began releasing Naruto videogames in March 2003 and has published a total of 15 titles to date across multiple platforms.
He must be talking about his own games right? CC2's ultimate ninja(storm for this gen) series
Er yeah , what's the gamecube , gbza/ds or wii games doing in the listing ?
Bandai namco is only behind the good naruto games :p . BAsically the ps2 ps3 narutimate/ultimate ninja (now on 360 too of course)series , or the psp games
I heard those games are going downhill. Atleast the CoN games. I wish they brought CoN4 over, since that one is the best, but they didn't. Instead we got an American adaption
In this chapter, we will be unfolding a new reason known as the Ally. This reason will reveal all the support that Microsoft will be receiving, this year, from their partners including Square-Enix, Namco Bandai, Ubisoft, Bethesda, Epic Games, Valve, and Capcom.
To all the readers, I thank you in advance for reading this article. I would like to present to you some of the Bits Of Information (BOI) that I was not able to include in this article. They are as follow:
BOI 1 ) Tecmo: in March of 1981, a U.S. division was inaugurated as U.S. Tehkan, Inc. A month later, in April of 1981, Tehkan released in Japan its first arcade video game titled Pleiads (which was distributed in America by Centuri). When it was still called Tehkan, the company also released such classic games as Bomb Jack and Tehkan World Cup. On the 8th of January 1986, Tehkan officially changed its name to Tecmo
BOI 2 ) Capcom: was founded in 1979 as Japan Capsule Computers, a company devoted to the manufacturing and distribution of electronic game machines.
I hope everyone enjoyed the Information provided
God Bless You All

why not write why they were exclusive? because of the ps3 install base back then,most of the sequels to those game are ps3 bound,3rd party support like take two,ubisoft sega,EA,konami have confirmed they made most of their money on ps3 last year 2008 so 3rd party support is cemented.
square are the only ones who really have gone to microsofts side this gen (is it coincidence their games and reputation havent been good lately?),as for DLC this week has highlighted thats not as exclusive as gamers thought,still dont care for DLC though i want exclusive games and
ps3 has the best 1st party support i have seen by any gaming company for years and 'TRICO' was the cherry on top for me
360s year was 2007 an amazing year for games but times move on
FUNNIEST THING HHG IS CLAIMING A CONSOLE CAN WIN BY 3RD PARTY SUPPORT THOUGH THAT MEANS BOTH CONSOLES WILL GET THEIR GAMES? GO FIGURE
HHG you fail again
Square-Enix - None of their current gen games scored well.
Namco Bandai - Tales of Vesperia heading to PS3...the complete version with exclusive content - making the 360 version seem incomplete and leaving 360 owners in the dark.
Ubisoft - Same as Square Enix
Bethesda - All DLC heading to PS3 starting in June. No exclusive support here.
Epic Games - Gears was awesome....but nothing in 2009
Valve - They barely support the 360 versions of their games. These guys are a PC brand =P
Capcom - They're releasing 20-40 PSone classic. Dead Rising 2 and Lost Planet 2 were already confirmed for the PS3.
Very nicely put. Im amazed at the writer made it so detailed. I thank you master samo. Also the article explain third party support which is very true that the xbox 360 does have alot of third party support .
wut? .___. does not compute
anyways years already half way through and nothing unbelievable has really come out for the 360 in that time and i don't really think in the next 6 months they will release a bunch of stuff for it at least not huge exclusives that make everyone go ga ga
sure they will release more games and DLC this year but will it really be enough to say that 2009 will be the year of the 360?

"Now, what does the game get worse? The animation in cut-scenes seems stiffer, though it may be my imagination. Also, the fetch quests start almost before the game's title screen, and I don't want to find another block of wood for a boat, nor do I want to run around the forest to get coins anymore. If these coins are so valuable, why are people leaving them lying around in the forest? How come no one else has picked them up? They are GIGANTIC and GLOWING. To put it another way, if I were sawing a piece of wood in a field, and there was a coin the size of my torso rotating next to me, I might drop my saw and bring it to town to see what it was worth. Why are people hiding these coins in big blue barrels? There's a lot of quality in The Broken Bond, but gamey garbage like this drags it into the gutter. The producers should learn that just jumping across rooftops is fun. I don't need a reason to do it, and even if I did, it doesn't have to be enormous floating currency."
