Dragon’s Dogma Impressions
Capcom’s presentation for Dragon’s Dogma at Tokyo Game Show 2011 answered a lot of questions a few of us out there needed to know about the game. From what I saw at E3 this year, there wasn’t much information revealed and I personally walked away even after playing the demo scratching my head thinking to myself really what type of game Dragon’s Dogma really was. The presen...
TGS 2011: Mobile Peripherals Hands On
I’d consider myself to be a bit of a mobile gamer. Owning an iPhone and iPad (it’s semi mobile, right?) I’ve become rather accustomed to a lack of tactile controls, which I must say can be a little sad. At this years Tokyo Game Show, there was a wide variety of mobile games, many of which are very much the same as games I’d played before. Rather than delve into a bunch of hands o...
TGS 2011: NIS America Press Conference
At this years Tokyo Game Show, company NIS America held a press conference revealing their upcoming titles for 2011 and 2012. The coming years see NIS expanding into new territory with the move to more portable gaming, and teaming up with Aquire for a new title unlike any other game they have developed before. Well known for their RPG’s, NIS America seem to be pushing boundaries in terms of their ...
Phantasy Star Online TGS 2011 video
Would you like to dive into the future? If you want to, then you will have to first master spinning flips that start from a standing position. We are sorry, but thems the rules. After all, the guy in the trailer below mastered them and managed to dive right into a crazy amazing world full of awesome fighting and great graphics. So you should be able to as well. In the meantime though I guess you w...
Army Corps of Hell – TGS 2011 trailer
During TGS 2011 last weekend, there was a new trailer for Army Corps of Hell. Featuring harder than hard rock, legions of troops, creepy characters and blaring text, it would seem that this game has all the right elements to be a winner. On the other hand, if you have babies, kids, grandparents, mothers, puppies, kittens, tigers, or other people, animals or things in the room with you when you wan...
TGS 2011: Lollipop Chainsaw Hands On
This game is what the movie Bring it on would be like if they threw in some zombies, violence and candy. It’s pretty nuts, you slice and dice zombies and then they turn into rainbows, yep I just said that. Lollipop Chainsaw is graphically inspired by pop-art, sparkles fly as you dismember enemies and collect lollipops for health. It’s definitely the most over the top and original game I play...
TGS 2011: Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater 3D Hands On
One of the booths with longer lines at Tokyo Game Show was Konami. Whether it was that people weren’t being given time limits, or that the games were popular, I decided to brave the queue and play some of their soon to be released titles for the Nintendo 3DS. One of the longer lines, and perhaps with good reason too, was for Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater 3D. While I was only able to play for a shor...

Along side Hayashi-San we have Peter Garza who is Localization Project Manager and translator for this interview. We ask Hayashi-San what updates have been added since we last saw Ninja Gaiden 3 over at E3 this year. What is the mea...
TGS 2011: Benny’s Booth Babes
There were many high quality booth babes at Tokyo Game Show 2011, it’s been said that TGS was a little dead this year and last year was better. Booth babes make you forget about that, yes it’s been a hard year for Japan, but hopefully it’ll pick up again next year. I didn’t exactly take photos of all the girls, just the majority we liked, more specifically the ones that Ben...
TGS 2011: Halo Combat Evolved Preview Event
One of the biggest announcements at this years E3 was the anniversary addition of Halo, Halo: Combat Evolved. At this years Tokyo game show, Microsoft held an event to show case some of the game play of Halo, as well as gave us a chance to ask some questions about their upcoming title. I was very surprised when I walked into the room to find that Halo was in 3D. Given that Halo is a science fictio...
