    I'm trying to figure out how the broken bond is in here over any of the ultimate ninja games, but meh, still a good game.

    Anime.....lolz

    I prefer the Bleach Heat the Soul games. Those games are awesome and its a shame that none of them have come to the U.S.

    Astro Boy again, YES HOLY MOTHER OF GOD THAT F*CKING GAME

    Where is Ghost in the shell for PS 1?????, one of the best anime action videogames.....

    UN Squadron is one of my favorite games ever. It's challenging though, I still have yet to beat it. Although that may speak more to my poor gaming skills than the games difficulty.

    This article has reminded me of the greatness that was Dark Souls and I think I will go dig it out of the closet and get my Bankai on.

    No room for Gigant Battle 1 or 2? Pretty solid fighter, big roster of characters, had a Western Release. Not the best game ever, probably the best One Piece game though. A great OP game anytime soon would be amazing.

  • Acerlux - September 20, 2012 8:23 p.m.

    Its my solemn hope that one day a One Piece game is able to make a list like this. I can dream right? I just really want a great OP game.

    I know right? Why is it so hard? They have the most awesome source material ever and the best they can come up with is Dynasty Warriors: Strawhat edition.

    I'm glad to see that DBZ: Budokai 3 made it in the list over the Dragon Ball games. While I did enjoy Naruto: The Broken Bond, Ultimate Ninja 3 for the PS2 is my favorite Naruto game so far (Sorry, the Storm games weren't as good in my opinion).

    I love the games based off of bleach and dark souls is probably my favourite just over soul ressuricion. I suppose digimon is invalid from being on the list because it first was a tamagotchi and the anime came after, it's a shame because it has had some pretty good games. Also surprised to not see any gundam games because I've heard that there are quite a few good games based on gundam.

    The PSX and arcade ones veeerrrrry narrowly scraped off the bottom of the list. The main reason they were omitted was because the best-regarded ones never made it out of Japan.

  • AshLynx - September 20, 2012 3:07 p.m.

    Yay, Astro Boy! Still one of my favorite GBA games, and the reason why I now own all of the Tezuka manga published in English thus far! It's not just a good game, it's a celebration of all things Tezuka! One of Kingdom Heart's ad lines was "you never know who you will run into next" (or something like that), but that line really belongs on this game imo. And rather than assume you know them, you could check the compendium for a quick and useful bio!

    It's also "Sword of Berserk: Gut's Rage" for Dreamcast and "One Piece Advance" for GBA. Both games are very close to it's original manga and Berserk is awesome in my opinion.

  • RandomShadow44 - September 20, 2012 1:31 p.m.

    I loved DBZ: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 simply for it's vast roster of characters and there are many Naruto games that are immensely better than the one you stated.

  • J-Fid - September 20, 2012 4:42 p.m.

    That's why I think DBZ BT3 is better than Budokai 3. It is the ultimate fan service, and it plays well.

  • JMarsella09 - September 20, 2012 12:33 p.m.

    I was thinking Jo Jo's until I saw the U.N. Squadron post. I had not clue that was a manga.

  • TwinHallow - September 20, 2012 12:26 p.m.

    I have no idea how did you not put Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 over Broken Bonds it is like the best Naruto game ever made.....just sayin

  • TwinHallow - September 20, 2012 12:30 p.m.

    It was like actually being in the Anime when playing the story mode.....
