[Shipping Out] September 4th
Just a single PS2 and PSP game each? That can't be right, but hey, it's all we've gotten press releases for so far...
Published: September 4, 2007
Welcome to Shipping Out, our weekly notice of all them thar games that ship from publishers to retailers in preparation for their street date a day later. In many cases, these games won't be on store shelves until tomorrow, but in the interest of getting the word out, letting the PR departments have their fancy quotes and saving us sanity as the weekly releases pile up, we're going to be consolidating everything down into one handy little news story at the end of the day, along with this description. Neat, eh? And lazy!
It's the TPS way.
[PlayStation 2]
[Naruto: Uzumaki Chronicles 2]
Cavia and NAMCO BANDAI GAMES AMERICA have returned with a second helping of exploration, light RPG elements and lots and lots of beating the snot out of bad guys while hearing the same comments from the voice staff of the cartoon repeated over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. Not that it matters to the ninja-addled Naruto fanbase, they can't get enough of those catchphrases! Believe it!
“Since the runaway success of the manga and animated series from VIZ Media, the adventures of Naruto Uzumaki have become an international sensation,” explains Makoto Iwai, Executive VP and COO of NAMCO BANDAI Games America INC. “The fast-paced fury of NARUTO: Uzumaki Chronicles 2 captures the spirit of the iconic dynamo and will not leave fans of the series disappointed.”
[PlayStation Portable]
[Worms: Open Warfare 2]
The Worms franchise refuses to die, and maybe it's because the little critters are so damned cute. Who doesn't love hearing threats of meeting your maker delivered with the soft falsetto of an adorable little invertebrate carrying a rocket launcher? We'll tell you who: hippies -- dirty, pot-smoking, patchouli-smelling flower children that don't believe in war. Well we say screw that. And also would like to score an 1/8th of their kindest buds so we can blow each other up while listening to some Hendrix.
...What were we talking about again?
