    Tokyo Game Show: A couple of gorgeous booth companions (photo gallery)

    Sorry ladies, but I haven't seen even one male booth companion at the Tokyo Game Show this year (or in 2008, for that matter). There were ladies only - and almost all of them were gorgeous. Here are some of them.

    Tokyo Game Show: Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 for PS3 (gameplay video)

    Koei Tecmo has a giant at this year's Tokyo Game Show, and their flagship title surely is Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 for PS3. It was playable and looked pretty cool. The same is true for Quantum Theory by the way (another Koei Tecmo action game) whose early version was impressive graphics-wise (but pretty buggy unfortunately).

    Tokyo Game Show: Official (and gory) God of War III trailer

    Sony's God of War III for PS3 is playable at the Tokyo Game Show 2009, looks great and will go on sale in Japan in March 2010. The upcoming God of War Collection for the PS 3 (American version) will include a playable God of War III demo by the way (but the one seen at E3 2009).

    Tokyo Game Show: Undead Knights for PSP (video)

    I took the chance at Koei Tecmo's booth at the Tokyo Game Show and played Undead Knights on the PSP for a while. As the name suggests, the game is about zombies. And there are knights, lots of them, who you can turn into zombies and let them kill off enemies for you. Undead Knights is PSP-exclusive and will go on sale in Japan on October 15 (USA: September 29).

    Tokyo Game Show: Metal Gear Solid – Peace Walker (2 videos)

    One of the biggest titles of this year's Tokyo Game Show is certainly Metal Gear Solid - Peace Walker for the PSP. And it's all about multiplayer. I was able to play the game with a friend (in co-op mode) for about 15 minutes and it completely rocked (the game was playable for the first time). In fact, up to four players could play at the same time (and some TGS guests did).

    Tokyo Game Show: Resident Evil – Darkside Chronicles (official trailer with gameplay footage)

    Resident Evil (Biohazard in Japan) - The Darkside Chronicles is an on-rails shooter that comes out in Nippon for the Wii on January 14. Instead of torturing you with the crappy video I took at the Capcom booth at the Tokyo Game Show, I give you the official trailer the fine people over at the Famitsu secured. It contains cut scenes, gameplay sequences and a few spoilers - you've been warned.

    Tokyo Game Show: A look at the Square Enix, Xbox360 and Capcom booths

    I posted some pictures of Sony's and Ubisoft's booth at this year's Tokyo Game Show yesterday, but booth-wise, Square Enix, Microsoft (Xbox 360) and Capcom made quite a strong showing, too. Here's some proof.

    In its newest incarnation, Konami's best-selling soccer game Winning Eleven (known as Pro Evolution soccer outside Japan) is as great as ever. I played the Xbox360 version with a friend in two-player mode (but PS3 owners will get to play Winning Eleven 2010, too).

    Tokyo Game Show: Sega’s action game Bayonetta (video)

    Sega's third-person action game Bayonetta was playable today at the first day of the Tokyo Game Show, both on Xbox360 and PS3. The game looked fine on both consoles and features a bespectacled female ("Bayonetta") as the main character. Judging from the demo versions and previews I've read so far, Bayonetta isn't much different from other third-person action games like Devil May Cry.

    Sony confirms: PS3 motion control this Spring, and Resident Evil 5 will work with it

    So yeah, the PS3 motion controller will be available this Springtime, and the first “big” games to make use of it will be Resident Evil 5 and LittleBigPlanet. High Velocity Bowling will also use the controller, and it sounds absolutely thrilling.

    Tokyo Game Show: How Resident Evil 5 looks on an Alienware PC (video)

    Alienware announced yesterday they will “shake the gaming world to its foundation” at the Tokyo Game Show 2009. Well, the show started today, I went there and played Resident Evil 5 (and a bunch of other titles, for example Streetfighter 4) on Alienware hardware. I'm not sure if the gaming world is really that different when compared to yesterday, but all the games did look damn impressive on the Alienware notebooks and desktop computers.

    Tokyo Game Show: First impressions and a look at Sony’s and Ubisoft’s booth

    I just came back from this year's Tokyo Game Show and must say I am pretty disappointed with the show this year. There were hardly any highlights, Sony didn't show their motion controller anywhere after the announcement during their keynote (picture of the device below/more info later) and staff members often didn't let me shoot any pictures or videos (which I did anyway if there was the chance). Here are some pictures from two booths of the show. The picture on the left shows the final event of the first day (Sunday is the final day). More material from the Tokyo Game Show follows today and tomorrow.
