If I had to sum up this years COS PLAY line up at Tokyo Game Show in one word it would be AMAZING!  This years Cos Play Characters came out in force and were dresed to impress!  Feast your eyes on over 200+ pictures of the Cos Play characters from Video Games such as Street Fighter, Ninja Gaiden, Super Mario Bros, Final Fantasy and an amazing array of Anime and Manga characters as well.  Some outfits would taken months to create but I believe it’s well woth the effort as this years crowds were absolutely out of this world, you even had to line up to take photos of some of the more popular Cos Play Characters.

Check out all the pics and let us know which one was your favorite.  Leave a comment well give away a random video game prize to one of you out there 🙂

PlayStation Vita will be region-free

One of the biggest questions that people can have about a video game system is whether or not it is going to be region free. A few regions don’t get the same games as others, and a large amount of games never are even released out of Japan which disappoints some gamers as, although the language may be in Japanese they still want to be able to play the game without purchasing a Japanese Vita.

Well there is no need to worry as Sony Computer Entertainment president of Worldwide Studios, Shuhei Yoshida responded to a question on his twitter account concerning whether or not the PlayStation Vita would be region locked. To this Shuhei tweeted a simple “Yes, it is.” This means that for those unable to wait to play the Vita, they can purchase it from Japan and have it shipped overseas when it is released on December 17th in Japan rather than wait around like chumps for it to be released in the West.

Batman Arkham City: New gadgets and new villians

Batman Arkham City is only one month away. Read that sentence again. ONE. MONTH. AWAY! GTTV recently revealed that this time around, the Man Bat will have at least two new gadgets to fight with. In addition, there was a reveal of one more new villain to take down.

The Remote Electrical Charge can power up items, create electrical fields, stun baddies and more. Of course, having “remote” in its name means you can throw it down (or shoot it out) and then activate it when you please.

The Freeze Blast will allow you stun enemies, create platforms in water and hold several criminals at once in a freeze state.

The new villain revealed is named Deadshot. He is assassinating powerful people throughout the game world, and it is up the man in the costume to bring him to justice!

Square Enix is showing off a demo of Bravely Default at TGS 2011 that represents what the full game will be like. Using some very spiffy AR tech to create interesting gameplay, we are very impressed by the performance of the game. Hopefully this demo or the full game will be available to play with soon, as it truly is spectacular. If you ever get a chance to play this demo, you will need an AR card of the main character. Use the image above if need be.

Be sure to leave a comment leaving your thoughts down below. What other uses of AR tech would you like to see implemented?

Is Transfarring for MGS HD only coming to Japan?

When Hideo Kojima had a special segment at Konami’s E3 conference, we were ecstatic. When he announced Transfarring, a way to continue your PS3 games on the road with the Vita, we were even happier. However, there are dark cloud forming over our heads now. An information packet from TGS has recently revealed that the PS3 HD edition of MGS: Peace Walker may only inlcude Transfarring IF the game is purchased and used in in Japan.

Hopefully, this nasty little fact will turn out to be a misunderstanding. Also, let us pray that it does not affect any other Vita/PS3 games that have the Transfarring feature.

All right, so Sony may have announced some rather dismal news about the PS Vita, and their consumer actions otherwise this week have been less than great, but the following video, running us through a demo of the Uncharted Vita game has made us Sony fans once again, at least for the 10 minutes that it plays.

This portable Uncharted experience looks great so far. The game’s director and writer shows us how good the graphics are, what the gameplay will be like and even some of Drake’s new items. Spoiler: It looks great so far! Now if the rest of Sony’s announcements could just be this good, we would be happy.

We already know that the DLC will take place on a freighter over the ocean and Adam has been captured, tortured and had his augmentations disabled. But Eidos revealed on their tumblrwho the man in the trailer is that is leading the group of Belltower soldiers.

His name is Pieter Burke and he is a high ranking operative in Belltower Associates. Also revealed was that the DLC will introduce 250 Achievmeent points to the game as well as 10 Trophies depending on what console you purchase it for. But the best thing for fans of the game, is that the DLC can be accessed directly from the main menu and you do not need to start your game over to access the content. There still has been no price announced for the content which will be released in October.
