Originally posted on September 29, 2006 The editors we sent to this year's Tokyo Game Show might have been fresh off a plane and still reeking of jetlag when they came back to the office, but that didn't stop us from dragging them into a bright room and fixing our cameras on them. Why? To collect their raw thoughts on what they'd just spent the last week seeing, of ...

Seriously... what? We know corporate-level trash talking has to be done - Microsoft faces big-time competition - but just saying something doesn't make it true. Blu-ray will help the PS3 have better games; it's a fact. By the same token, though Phil Spencer of Microsoft Game Studios might pretend that the Nintendo Wii won't offer new types of gaming, he isn't kidding anyone. Asinine quote of the day: "I don't think the promise of a new input device means a new kind of game." Right, Phil... ...

Pokemon attack Tokyo We've got a preview of the import version in the works - never fear - but we thought we'd bring you a quick note to remind you: Pokemon Diamond / Pearl, for the DS, has hit Japan. The lines are long - 150 people outside of one store in Tokyo. As Wired blogger Chris Kohler points out, the DS has managed to ravage Japan before Pokemon even came out.

The PS3 version of the game, due in November, will include new content - most notably a new faction, the Knights of the Nine, perhaps the focus of rumored Oblivion expansion pack Knights of the White Stallion for PC ...

November issue of PSM hits stands

PSP News | PSP

Our sister magazine PSM - laughably still printed on paper, for some reason - hits newsstands this week, and it packs in a few things you can't get anywhere else. Things like an exclusive four-page blowout on Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, which sheds new light on a handful of the game's upcoming missions. There's also an interview with Rockstar Leeds' studio head, Gordon Hall, in which he talks about Vice City Stories' new take-over-the-town feature, Empire ...

Get your hands on a PS3... easy You probably won't be able to buy one this November, but it shouldn't be too hard to get some time with a PlayStation 3 - behind glass, anyway. Sony has announced plans to install 15,000 playable demo kiosks of PS3 at retail locations in the US and Canada in time for the system's launch - five times what the company offered for PS2, our sister site Next Generation reports. It should be pretty simple to figure out if the thing's worth $600 when you see it in ...
