I found myself high up in a tower overlooking the area where Tokyo Game Show is held this morning, so I took the opportunity to film a video and take some pictures to show you. You can see for yourself how huge this place is. You'll also get a good idea of why our feet hurt every evening after the show.
Tokyo Game Show isn't actually in Tokyo. It's in Chiba, in the Maihama area, which is about a 40 minute train ride from Tokyo proper. It's held in a huge convention center called Makuhari Messe, and it also hosts the Tokyo Motor Show earlier in the year.
As you'll see in the video, it's a long son of a bitch that takes a really long time to walk the length of. The smaller dome is the main entry way, and the large buildings are the main halls. Inside there are eight main exhibition halls and TGS uses all of them. Inside there are several shops and restaurants to feed and serve event attendees, but there are tons more restaurants and shops in the surrounding area. Most of the round eyes head to the McDonald's across the street.
You'll also see in the pictures and video how close TGS actually is to water. From high up in the New Otani hotel the view is quite nice.
DmC: Devil May Cry is easily one of the most controversial releases in a good long time. Although a large section of the fanbase has been slowly won over by Capcom and Ninja Theory's promotion, there is still a highly dedicat...
I'm of the view that Gravity Rush is, and remains, one of the best games on the PS Vita, and worth a play, regardless of what you think of it in the end. Jim might not have cared for it, but it seems whoever was in charg...
Check out the full roster of bros that'll be smashing each other in the face when PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale launches later this year. A new trailer has come from the Tokyo Game Show and it gives us a good look at all the characters.
I really am quite looking forward to this by now. Really, how can you not love a fighting game with Sackboy in it?
The above trailer currently has 609 dislikes compared to 370 likes on Youtube. Something tells me that, two years later, people are still sore. That DmC just can't catch a break with fans.
I'm still pretty pumped, myse...
Square Enix always has the biggest, craziest booth of Tokyo Game Show, and this year looks to be no different. They've just sent along their line-up for this year's show, set to go down later this month in Chiba, Japan. ...

Tokyo Game Show 2012 is set for September 20 through 23 in...Tokyo, so I doubt most of you will be around the area (Makuhari) at the time, but you never know. Actually, I've heard from a few readers that they would be in Toky...
This year's Tokyo Game Show could be the biggest (and sweatiest) yet. We already know that 1,592 booth units have been reserved for the show floor, and that 171 companies plan to show off their wares, with 68 coming from over...
The official website for Tokyo Game Show 2012 went live earlier today. The September 20-23 event will take place at Makuhari Messe, as always, and it will be hot and muggy, as always, but there's one small change this year: N...
Microsoft will not be attending either GamesCom or Tokyo Game Show. It makes total sense since, given the company's E3 showing, it seems like a venue where videogames are to be shown off is the last thing Microsoft could be i...
