Happy Halloween & Winner of Special Edition of Storm!

Who's excited?! However you choose to celebrate this fun day, Hokage's Room hopes you have a safe and Happy Halloween!

You know how you've been writing up all your wonderful and scary descriptions of ninja transformations into classic Halloween characters? Well, it's time to reveal the winning blog post! It was so much fun reading through all the submissions and descriptive stories but we can only have one winner and that winner will be the lucky owner of the Special Edition of NARUTO: Ultimate Ninja Storm! Before I reveal the lucky winner... here is part of their story:

Mission 49: Naruto Halloween Warriors

Kabuto, a master of medical ninjutsu and master of classic monsters. If Kabuto was a monster he would be Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Tired of always restoring Orchimaru's test subjects, Kabuto develops a formula to make the test subjects less prone to injuries. Late one night after tirelessly restoring another test subject, he decides to test out the formula and drinks the bubbling putrid sludge green concotion.

After drinking it, his hand shakes and the vial shatters on the floor. He grabs his head and begins to laugh maniacally. His eyes filled with rage and teeth becoming elongated, Kabuto searches around the lab. His features become distorted and his face seems to be more grungy and scruff. Unable to control the violent and unstable formula raging through his veins, he flips the table over strewing smashing glass and other equipment all over the floor. Aching with pain Kabuto drops on his hands hitting the shattered glass slices his palms. He howls in pain and as his eyes flickered off the candlelight his hair had a greenish foul tint to it. The formula gave him incredible strength and a keen sense of smell or more like the smell of fear. (CLICK for more)

That wonderful entry was written by akune29! Congratulations!

Thinking About The Cinematics

All your submissions for Mission 51 have got me thinking about just how great the cinematics are shaping up for NARUTO: Ultimate Ninja Storm. I know you have been thinking and writing about grand cinema ideas of what it would be like to bring these characters to real life but I just had to go look at some of the videos for the game again and am really liking how it plays out more like watching an anime than a console game.

Perhaps it's because the game is being released on the PS3 that makes this game look so gorgeous with the cinematic quality HD graphics. Just curious, who has a PS3? Are there any other games that you've been playing on the PS3 that has mind-blowing graphics as well?

Happy October - Time to bring out the transformed Naruto Gang!

October is here which means the release of NARUTO: Ultimate Ninja Storm is merely a month away! It also means that Halloween is quickly approaching!

If you haven't had a chance to check out the new Mission, Hokage's Room is looking for the coolest transformed ninja warrior... into a classic scary monster! Ok, it doesn't have to be a classic monster but we are definitely looking for some awesome concepts. As you may already know, you'll be able to transform characters into powerful superior warriors while in battle in the upcoming Storm title. How exciting is that?!

Think about what the characters in Naruto would look like, be able to do and the powers they'd have if they were to turn into scary monsters and jot down your cool concepts into your blogs. If you prefer to make an entry in another blog account that you have instead of your Hokage's Room blog, please remember to submit the DIRECT URL leading to your post... we want to read it!

What's even better than celebrating the upcoming release of Storm on Hokage's Room by writing scary tales and desciptions of Naruto and gang? How about winning a copy of the Limited Edition NARUTO: Ultimate Ninja Storm?! That's right! Make sure to thoroughly think your concept up then submit the correct URL in order to enter the contest for Mission 49: Naruto Halloween Warriors.

Here is one concept from a fellow ninja of Hokage's Room:

If Kiba transformed into a classic monster it would be a dark blood thirsty werewolf. He would kill anyone on site. Friends or enemies wouldn't be able to get away from him. With his mighty strenght to rip apart the flesh and chew on the bones as toothpicks when he was finished. His high speed movements to catch any prey. Then leave to catch more food. - 6th_hokage_naruto

Are you ready for the transformations?
