Sony posted a slick video of its Tokyo Game Show 2010 booth. In addition to seeing the upcoming God of War, KillZone, and PlayStation Move games, it gives you a good feel of what Sony’s massive booth is like. *sigh* I wish I was scouring Makuhari Messe with my friends.

Ico and Shadow of the Colossus in HD…and 3D!
At Tokyo Game Show 2010, Sony announced that Ico and Shadow of the Colossus will be hitting the PlayStation 3 on one Blu-ray disc that’s full of HD and 3D goodness.(Check out the trailer above!) I loved Ico and really liked Shadow of the Colossos on the PlayStation 2; I’m thrilled that they’ll be available in high definition, but I don’t care to play them in 3D (yet).
What do you guys and gals think of this collection? Are you interested in playing it in 3D?

Ninja Gaiden 3 Revealed…With a Piece of Concept Art
At a private Tecmo-Koei dinner in Japan, Team Ninja’s Yosuke Hayashi unveiled Ninja Gaiden 3 with a piece of concept art. I love it! It reminds me of E3 meetings in the late ’90s when European developers would show me sketches of their game on a flip-book and bore me to tears about heady concepts that would never see the light of day. For some reason, when Team Ninja shows off concept art, I take it a bit more seriously.
Here’s what GamePro’s AJ Glasser had to say about the brief introduction to Ninja Gaiden 3:
The game is so early in development, the developer only showed journalists a piece of concept art. The image, however, defines both the new game’s direction and the new identity of Team Ninja.
Glasser also spills details on the upcoming Dead or Alive game for Nintendo 3DS. Kindly check out her article if you have a chance. Also, let me know if you’re interested in Dead or Alive and Ninja Gaiden games that aren’t created by Tomonobu Itagaki.
Asura’s Wrath = Japanese God of War?
Journalists are already calling Capcom’s Asura’s Wrath the Japanese God of War. Certainly there are similarities. Okay, there are a ton of similarities, but will the developers at CyberConnect2 be able to successfully create a game that blends Western blood-and-guts with Japanese gameplay sensibilities? Check out the trailer above and cast your vote (please)!
Ninja Theory Developing New Devil May Cry Game

The First PlayStation Move Game I’ll Play Is…
…Heavy Rain, of course. Yeah, I’ve already played a bunch of the PlayStation Move launch titles, but this is the first game I’ll dive into. Sony Computer Entertainment America product marketing manager Jefferson “The Donger” Dong announced that PlayStation Move support for Heavy Rain arrives on September 22. I’m all over that!
Are any of you going to give Heavy Rain another go with PlayStation Move? Are there any Move games you’re interested in?

This is a pretty huge week for the videogame business. In the short term, Halo Reach is out and it will surely be one of the biggest games of 2010. PlayStation Move is also out this week; while analysts are unsure of its short-term impact, Sony will be trying to make it a big deal for years to come. Lastly, Lord of the Rings: Aragorn’s Quest

Sony’s YayButtons.com Pokes Fun at Kinect, Promotes Move
To promote PlayStation Move and poke fun at Microsoft’s Xbox Kinect, Sony has launched YayButtons.com. It’s a cute and snarky web site that’s a clever bit of marketing. When you visit the site, you can click on a PlayStation Move controller and bring up comments like:
It turns out that buttons are pretty important.
Some people don’t think you need buttons.
Could you imagine gaming without buttons?
Where would the control come from?
You couldn’t snipe.
You couldn’t fire any sort of weapon at all, really.
It’s simple and effective marketing that helps position PlayStation Move as the cooler product and the gamer’s choice. If you get a chance to play around with the site, please let me know what you think.
