Tokyo Game Show 2006

TGS has been the biggest event that I've been to so far - much bigger than any of the previous Toy or Anime ones and Im absolutely knackered from walking around.
Got hold of the usual press pass but it was odd this time as Sony and Capcom required you to register for a pass just to take pictures of their stalls - what an odd bunch of people.
Before I start babbling, this TGS report will be broken down into four parts...
- Tokyo Game Show (this part)
- TGS Video (the video footage - tomorrow)
- TGS Girls
- TGS Toys
And dont forget to head to Akihabara News who will be uploading their goodies on the TGS soon.

And heres some of the stash brought back - Capcom and Sony press packs and other booty. And unfortunately I dont have a PS3 in that huge bag in the background - they give you that so that you can become a walking advert.

Of all the events that I've attended, the TGS had the darkest lighting - me thinks its so that we cant get decent pictures.

Didnt pay too much attention to who these folks were but the lady on the left did have a nice bottom.

BTW, Nintendo dont attend TGSs for some reason - they have their own show which was about two weeks ago.

The new Ridge Racer on the PS3 looks fantastic and will be in the batch of games that I get with my PS3 - more of this in the video clip.

Gundam Target in Sight graphics looked very nice indeed. Only seen a few levels though.

If you are over in Tokyo for the TGS and are feeling lonely, take kasumi back to your hotel to keep you company.

Was looking forward to see Xtreme but now that Ive seen it....
The graphics are amazing and if you like big bouncy anime eyes then you'll love this game but not too sure about gameplay/lastability.

Theres some Pachinko machines if you feel like playing...

Luckily I brought a spare change of underwear otherwise I would be left with rather skiddy pants after seeing Devil May Cry for the PS3 - OMG. I need this game yesterday.

If you are going to the TGS - make sure you get yourself along to this stall - the 3D graphics are truly amazing.
If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.
