2Bits: E3 should open its doors, let the people flow

E3 2008 was an unmitigated disaster.

This singular sentence summed up the reaction that gamers felt towards this version of the long-running video-game based trade show.

The reason E3 lost its luster can be attributed to…

Tokyo Game Show 2008: Battle of the booth babes

by Janine Dong on Oct 13, 2008 at 11:42 PM

gamertell level 5 booth babe tokyo game show 2008One of the most alluring things about the Tokyo Game Show besides getting an early sneak peak at video games in development is the abundance of booth babes.

Nearly every exhibitor’s booth at the TGS has their slew of booth girls each outfitted in a unique costume. The sole purpose of the existence of booth girls at these types of conventions is to attract attention to the exhibit they represent through the powers of seduction and cuteness. The outfits that these girls wear are usually attractive and revealing, meaning that most of these girls wear crop tops showing off their midriffs coupled with a mini-skirt showing off their long legs.

Out of all the booth girls this year, I would like to choose Level 5’s outfit as my personal favorite…

Resistance 2, Resistance Retribution to infect each another via system connection

James Grayson takes on a giant robot in <i>Resistance: Retribution</i>“ width=“427” height=“252” /></p>

<p>There is no doubt that <i>Resistance: Fall of Man</i> has remained one of the Playstation 3’s stand-out titles. This popularity can be attributed to its large-scale environment and the ingenuity of the game’s developers at Insomniac Games. With <i>Resistance</i>‘s sequel due this holiday season (2008), and a side story for the PSP titled <i>Resistance: Retribution</i> expected later in the year,  players will have ample opportunities to defeat the Chimera at their own game.</p>

<p>Players who choose to purchase both games will have the opportunity to “infect” their copies of <i>Resistance: Retribution</i> through the connection of their PSP systems to their Playstation 3 consoles…</p>

TGS 2008: Kill zombies with your mind in Judecca

by Karn Bianco on Oct 11, 2008 at 01:04 PM

Mindset

Buttons, digital joysticks, analogue sticks, touch screens, motion-sensing controllers — what’s next? Well, if Square Enix and NeuroSky (a company that specializes in interfacing bio-signals including brainwaves with consumer electronics) have anything to do with it, mind control headsets are.

At the 2008 Tokyo Game Show in Japan this week (October 9 – October 12, 2008), the two companies demonstrated Judecca, a zombie-filled first-person shooter for the PC which utilizes NeuroSky’s Mindset device to detect electrical signals in the user’s left frontal lobe and subsequently alter what is…

Dynasty Warriors 6: Empires

Yep, it’s about that time of the year when Koei unleashes yet another iteration of its hack and slash series, Dynasty Warriors, upon us and this year we must have been extra good because we aren’t getting just one game, but two: Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce for the PlayStation Portable and Dynasty Warriors 6: Empires for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 are both slated for a 2009 release.

Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce will add a multiplayer co-op mode to the action, so warriors won’t be as lonely on the field as they take out hundreds of cannon fodder soldiers, fortresses and beasts. Alongside DW: Strikeforce will be the return of…
