Tokyo Game Show EXPAND STORY TEXTSSubscribe to this tag Ueda wants to make an FPS, loves Half-Life 2 23 If you've played either of Fumito Ueda's games, Ico or Shadow of the Colossus, and come away feeling nothing then you need to double check your pulse and then make sure you're still human.

TGS 09: A noob's first TGS report 20 Alright, so I've been to a lot of trade shows, but let's face it: Tokyo Game Show is one of the biggest in the world (only just barely beaten in attendance by this year's Gamescom).

Check out this God Eater trailer (it's called GOD EATER!) 27 I'm really looking forward to Namco Bandai's God Eater, not least of all because it's called GOD EATER!

TGS 09: Next year's show gets a tentative date 1 With Tokyo Game Show 2009 in the bag, organizer CESA is already looking at dates for next year's show.  It looks like they're eying a mid-September show, either from September 16 through Sep...
