We'd teleport all of you to Tokyo to enjoy this year's TGS with us, but since we can't, experience the shows most game-filled booth in this new video straight from Japan...
For all you gaming addicts looking for a fix, check out these treats:
Opoona - Wii
A very unusual little game for the Wii that combines community and relationship-building elements with a traditional RPG - a bit like, say, Animal Crossing but with a proper adventure to work through. Even better is the way it uses the Wiis Remote and Nunchuck, allowing you to move with the analog stick and battle by swinging the remote.
Crazi Taxi: Fare Wars - PSP
We reckon this is just about old enough now

what's commonly classed as a
bad day. Firstly, a nuclear war
wipes out nine-tenths of the
population, and then a
mutating virus threatens to destroy the poor
unfortunates that are left. Despite this, a few
brave souls manage to band together to try
and rebuild society from the dregs of what's
left... which isn't the cheeriest start to a
game, we think you'll agree.This brings us neatly to Fallout: Brotherhood

We admit it: when we first heard about plans for a Family Guy game, we cringed. And when we heard that it would be developed by High Voltage, creator of the craptacular Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, our testicles retracted into our bodies so fast that the impact collapsed our lungs. Don't get us wrong - we like Family Guy, but games like this tend to be horrible.
Now that we've played it, however, it looks like our fears were unfounded. Not only is Family Guy shaping up to be a good time,

If you think Family Guy is a peculiar cartoon, wait until you see what the Griffin family get up to in the game. Baby Stewie's battling his unborn brother Bertram (see series three, when Stewie goes inside dad Peter's body Inner Space-style) as both try to take over the world.

Meanwhile, Brian the dog's been wrongly imprisoned for impregnating Mr. Pewterschmidt's greyhound Seabreeze and Peter thinks he's starring in a videogame after taking a bang on the head from a satellite dish. Oh, the
The last outing for Marvel's fab four, published by Activision, not 2K Games, was a mediocre affair with predictable button-bashing action that barely tested your skills. Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer benefits from PS3's bolder, crisper graphics, while the gameplay's been enhanced to test your wit as well as your rapid-finger
The first real video-game adaptation of The Fast and the Furious is tearing toward PS2s and PSPs in August, following the theatrical release of TFATF: Tokyo Drift by a distant two months. Even so, we recently got a chance to rev up a nearly complete version of the game, and we like what we've seen so far.
First off, The Fast and the Furious - which really has nothing to do with the movie other than that it's set in Tokyo - isn't a "street racer" in the traditional sense. Rather than ripping up
