Tokyo Game Show 2010 part two

Another day in Tokyo and more games are shining through the crowd and its nice to see that there have been some more Kinect games announced that stray away from the mini game base and are trying to do something different with the technology. It's is also great to see some truly wondrous traditional Japanese games appear as well.

My favourites of the last 12 hours are below, let me know your thoughts on them please.

The Last Guardian






The Last Guardian is one of those games that I have been waiting for years to come out. Now with an estimated launch of christmas 2011 those long years are slowly coming to an end! Check out more screens and a trailer here

Ni No Kuni






Legendary film makers Studio Ghibli have teamed up with Level 5 to produce a game that looks absolutely stunning. These screens are from the PS3 yet the game is also coming to the Nintendo DS. More info here.

Yakuza: Of The End (with zombies)



I don't really know what to say to this... see what Kotaku thinks.

Panzer Dragoon on Kinect?





Apparently creator of Panzer Dragoon is creating a game for Microsofts Kinect...with Dragons in it! Find out more here

Parappa The Rappa creator "Haunts" Kinect





The game is apparently going to be a puzzle game that uses the Kinects abilities. More info on the project can be found here.

So there you have it, my favourite announcements of the past 12 or so hours and a varied bunch they are. I haven't gone into too much detail about the titles and I am waiting for more info to form a coherent opinion on them. Any opinions? Comment below!
