5313 km away an exciting party for gamers is ending today. It is the Tokyo Game Show 2010 <\/a>which runs from 16 September to 19 September . Like a child left out of a party, I cannot get first hand news from the TGS 2010 and had to look through the net for any updates. Some interesting upcoming games were showcased at the show. I will now provide a run through of these\u00a0titles:)<\/p>\n

1. Ni no Kuni<\/strong>
\n<\/object><\/p>\n

This game is a team-up between Studio Ghibli<\/a> producer and Level-5<\/a>, a Japan based game developer. There is a PS3 as well as a Nintendo DS version for this game. Studio Ghibli is well known for creating wonderful animated films\u00a0such as Howl’s Moving Castle<\/em>, Spirited Away<\/em> and My Neighbor Totoro<\/em>. Ni No Kuni <\/em>has a rather sad story line. It follows the adventure of a 13-year old boy who mother died suddenly. In order to revive her, he heeds the advice of a fairy and enter a parallel world called “Ninokuni”. For any who had watched Ghibli Studio’s production, the scene of the game has an uncanny resemblance to other Studio Ghibli’s\u00a0film. As a matter of fact, the studio has been employing computer 3D graphic technology in some scenes of their animated film for some years. This may explain why some of the scenes of Ni no Kuni <\/em>has flavours of Studio Ghibli’s animated film. The DS version is scheduled to be released this holiday season while the PS version will only be out next year.<\/p>\n

2. The Last Guardian<\/strong>
\n<\/object><\/p>\n

This beautiful game about the friendship between a boy and a giant creature (that looks like a dog and eagle) named Trico is set to warm the heart of the player.\u00a0Hmmm, but I do wonder what kind of game can the developer made that surround just these two characters. While it is announced that this game is going to be an action-adventure puzzle game, I\u00a0hope that this game will not just be a level of puzzle after another.\u00a0We will have to\u00a0wait till late 2011\u00a0for this game to be released.<\/p>\n

3. Metal Gear Solid Rising<\/strong>
\n<\/object><\/p>\n

Snake has retired but can Raiden bring new life to the MGS series? In MGS: Rising we get to slash enemies playing as ‘Ninja’ Raiden. The ‘free slicing’ mode allows the player to cut through space freely. The physics seen in the video above is really cool! For all you MGS fans out that, this game is due 2011 on Xbox 360 and PS3.<\/p>\n

4. Deus ex:Human Revolution<\/strong>
\n<\/object><\/p>\n

For those who prefer the English version, here is the link<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This game is the third part of the action game series Deus Ex <\/em>by British video game developer Eidos Interactive (it was later bought over by Square-Enix). Just watching the video makes me wonder whether this is a game or movie. This title is available on PS3, Xbox 360 and PC.<\/p>\n

5. Final Fantasy Versus XIII <\/strong>
\n<\/object><\/p>\n

This is a video leak from TGS 2010 for Final Fantasy Versus XIII. In this video, we can only have a very vague idea of what this Action-RPG game is going to be like. A scene of the player slashing a behemoth was shown in this trailer. It gives us a rough idea of the kind of slash and kill game play that FF versus XIII is going to be. Instead of the usual turn-based attack of FFXIII, now I really get to cut down a real behemoth! Cool!<\/p>\n

6. God of War: Ghost of Sparta<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/object><\/p>\n

GOW is now on PSP! We don’t have to wait long for this one, it is going to be released this coming year end holiday.<\/p>\n

7. Gran Turismo 5<\/strong>
\n<\/object><\/p>\n

More video released for TGS 2010. Get ready to be blown off by the new stunning visual effects! GT5 is out end of this year.<\/p>\n

8. Castlevania: Lords of Shadow<\/strong>
\n<\/object><\/p>\n

A revive of the Castlevania <\/a>franchise, this new title has Hideo Kojima’s input as an advisor. Looking to be a cross between Devil May Cry and God Of War, we will see soon whether this game can indeed revive the Castlevania series around October of this year when it is released.<\/p>\n

Going 3D?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sony who is pushing for 3D gaming in TGS 2010 even had a 3D panel at TGS 2010. Currently, Xbox 360 is unable to serve 3D content to players unlike PS3. But wearing a pair of glasses and the need to burn a hole in your pocket to get that 3D TV may put off players who are thinking of going into 3D gaming. Especially with the ‘glasses-less’ Nintendo 3Ds coming out probably before next April, players will be spoilt. Wearing glasses to play game? No way! Well, it might be still too early to see whether 3D gaming to kick off. But until the price of 3D TV drops, it is likely to be a barrier for most gamers to go 3D.<\/p>\n

So that’s it. A round-up of the games featured in TGS 2010. Of course there are games that I have not covered. Among them we have, Asura’s Wrath, Yakuza: Of the End, Fable III, Killzone III, Monster Hunter Portable, Patapon 3, Tokyo Jungle, Dance Evolution and many more. Darn…they should have a Singapore Game Show too. I guess our gaming industry is just not matured enough.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
