While visiting Sony's Tokyo office we got a chance to talk with Patapon 2 designer Hiroyuki Kotani and check out the game's new multiplayer mode. These two-part adventure levels let up to four players work together but can also be played solo with the computer controlling the other three. In the first section, the players fight across the level to secure a giant egg. Once secured, they then carry it to a shrine for the second part, a rhythm-based ritual performed together to "hatch" the egg releasing the new items inside.

We sat down with LocoRoco creator Tsutomu Konno at Sony's Tokyo offices to check out the latest work-in-progress build of the upcoming sequel and chat some about the game. LocoRoco 2 brings back the original's unique mechanic of tilting the world in different directions to move characters around the screen. This time out the Moja defeated in the original game have returned singing a very melancholy song that is filling the world with black ooze. Your goal is to revitalize the world and get rid of all the black ooze.

You're reading a Tokyo Game Show 2008 preview, which we've broken into three sections to make it easy to sift through during this week of convention madness.

This upcoming revision of Tekken 6 unashamedly perpetuates the series' established brand of 3D versus fighting (a looser, less technical affair than what's offered by competitors Virtua Fighter and Soul Calibur) while adding two new playable fighters to the fray. Bloodline Rebellion also sports several new stages, a host of new unlockable accessories to customize your characters with, and an updated graphical engine.
