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. Once an event celebrated as much for its extravagance as its large variety of video games on display, the 2008 version of the Electronic Entertainment Expo, now known as the E3 Media & Business Summit, was a shadow of its former self, stripped of its style and verve which resulted in its popularity with gamers plummeting faster than the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
The reason E3 lost its luster can be attributed to…
Tokyo Game Show 2008: Battle of the booth babes
One 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…

Tokyo Game Show 2008: Hands-on impression of Resident Evil 5
Capcom definitely enticed many, if not all, Tokyo Game Show attendants with its huge pavilion that included a completely enclosed showcase dedicated to its head runner Resident Evil 5. The showcase was well outfitted and even sported broken windows and peeling paint to add authenticity to its environment. There were four long lines set up, allowing players to choose from single play or cooperative play on the system of their choice - the Xbox 360 or the Playstation 3.

TGS 2008: Kill zombies with your mind in Judecca
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…

TGS 2008: Koei bringing out new Dynasty Warrior games in 2009
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…
