Title: Star Ocean - The Last HopePublisher: Square EnixDeveloper: Tri-AcePlatform(s): Xbox 360Author Name: Jeremy ParishDEK: The final chapter of the Star Ocean series is a return to its beginning.BODY 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. Check out TGS.1UP.COM for all (meaning words, screens, and videos) of our coverage from the show. What's the game about? The Star Ocean series is developer tri-Ace's longest-running franchise, a more ambitious take on mechanics seen in the Tales series. According to producer Yoshinori Yamagishi, The Last Hope is Star Ocean's final chapter -- yet it's also a prequel set years before the first entry in the series (which will arrive in the U.S. soon via PSP remake First Departure). There's a simple reason for this: The previous game, Star Ocean: Till the End of Time for playstation 2, more or less painted the series' storyli

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. Check out TGS.1UP.COM for all (meaning words, screens, and videos) of our coverage from the show. What's the game about? Fashionable kids feeling sad; Disney characters kicking butt.What's new for TGS? Square Enix's hands-on demo for the DS iteration of Kingdom Hearts is the same one they showed at their August event. However, in the company's closed mega theatre, a lengthy new trailer showed off the game's newest character: a young female member of Organization XIII named Xion. Bad things seem to be in store for this dark-haired girl; she doesn't appear in games that transpire later in the series' chronology (namely Kingdom Hearts II), and she ends the trailer by squaring off for battle against the red-haired Axel.

Check out TGS.1UP.COM for all (meaning words, screens, and videos) of our coverage from the show. What's the game about? Sony Computer Entertainment's brilliant retro-styled dungeon ecosystem simulator -- for lack of a better way to describe it -- is on its way to the PSP for its second installment. Like the original Yuusha no Kuse ni Namaikida, you'll be digging through adjacent soil blocks to release monsters and redistribute nutrients and magic in the soil in order to create the ultimate self-sustaining hero-killin' monster dungeon food chain.

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. Check out TGS.1UP.COM for all (meaning words, screens, and videos) of our coverage from the show. What's the game about? Sonic Unleashed is one half bringing the series back to fundamentals with the franchise's trademark blazing speed and dizzying courses, and one half trying something new. For the first time ever, Sonic indulges in a bit of God of War-style melee combat by transforming into a "werehog." Don't worry, we were surprised too.What's new for Tokyo Game Show? Before taking Sonic for another spin through Sonic Unleashed, we got a chance to sit down with producer Akinori Nishiyama to discuss what's been on every Sonic fan's mind -- werehogs. Not surprisingly, Nishiyama had a few things to say about what has become a controversial addition to the series.

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. Check out TGS.1UP.COM for all (meaning words, screens, and videos) of our coverage from the show. What's the game about? Edge of Twilight is a third-person action title set in a world suffering the aftermath of two powerful races' war to control Ether, the world's singular power source. The apocalyptic battle tears the world into two realms -- one night, one day -- and traps each race in opposite halves. The world's only half-breed and the game's hero, Lex, has -- thanks to his dual ancestry -- a unique ability: He's the only one who can travel between the very different realms. This plays an important role in both the story and the gameplay, as the day realm is industrialized while the night one is more spiritual in nature, affecting the environment, whether machinery works (it doesn't in the night realm), and how Lex

What's the game about? Joining with a few friends and beating the holy hell out of a world of monsters.What's new for TGS? Echoes of Time was only announced about a week ago, so TGS marks the game's true debut -- a brief video-only demo that shows its unusual design. Namely, it appears to be exactly the same game on both DS and Wii.
