  • A quick trip to Akihabara

    I had a little spare time today, so I went with Albert from the LIVE team (who has been on my show in the past) over to Akihabara, also known as ‘Electric Town.’  While Albert was looking for vintage Japanese action figures, I was taking photos of the amusing gadgets I came across. I have uploaded some to my Flickr if you want a small taste of what you may find in the tiny shops around this section of Tokyo. 

  • This week on Arcade: MLB Stickball

     MLB Stickball hits Arcade this Wednesday for 800 points.

  • Destination: Tokyo

    I leave for the Tokyo Game Show today. I am confident that my travel to Japan will be more successful than last year, so I am pretty excited to return to Tokyo especially since Xbox will, for the first time, be delivering a keynote at TGS. I am going to do my best to have the complete audio of the keynote available later that day for download. I’ll also try to live blog the event on my Twitter, but that is dependent on my connectivity at the venue. Either way, the keynote is at 12–noon local time on Thursday, October 9th, so expect the news to start flowing following the event.  I’ll be staying in Shinjuku for a couple of days for business and pleasure. In my spare time I’ll head (via the worlds busiest train station) to some of the side alleys in Akihabara which is where the real interesting games and gadgets live. Mid-week, I move out to Makuhari Messe for the show. I am bringing  a few phones that should work in Japan, including my Motorola Q9H as well as my brand new Treo pro. My phone guy tells me that they should work fine in Japan, so if that is the case I may be posting on Twitter as I travel about Tokyo. While I am gone…my blog posts here will be erratic as a result of trying to work remotely many times zones ahead of the office, but e will be stepping in to post when he has a few extra moments to keep the lights on and (along with Litheon) keep an eye on things around here. If you are in the area and plan on attending TGS, send me a message over live or on major at Xbox.com and maybe we can meet up at the Microsoft booth.  See you at the show.

  • New Xbox Experience: Games Marketplace

    This week, we take a look at the Games Marketplace. As you can tell in the below before and after screenshots, the team has done some great work in redesigning the Marketplace to showcase information about each game. In addition to seeing the downloads available for each game, you’ll also be able to look at screen shots and game details (like on Xbox.com.) The Gamerscoreblog has a more in depth post about this, but I’ve posted the high resolution versions of these (and more new Marketplace images) on my Flickr so you can see it for yourself.
