Fall is the best time of year for games, not only because it's crunch time for holiday releases, but because of all the yearly gaming conferences! And the biggest one of the year is about to start — the Tokyo Game Show!
Although I couldn't travel to the Land of the Rising Sun for the annual game blowout, I'll still be doing my best impression of being there to round up all the hot and juicy gaming news this expo has to offer.

I was looking forward to seeing WipEout HD at this year's E3 Summit (since I have had this futuristic racer on my wish list for months), and was kinda bummed when it wasn't shown during Sony's panel discussions. We were told it's because the sleek game was being "packed with extra features," and while that may be true, what might be more true is that the title is failing epileptic seizure tests left, right and center!
The game, which is packed with flashy neon lights and fast moving tracks, has had troubles making it past "go" with testers saying that Wipeout HD "fails the epilepsy tests so much that it has to be re-engineered."

With all the hours I've spent playing City of Heroes, I never thought I'd see the day when my character could laugh along with me after zapping a thug to his demise with my Energy Torrent. Soon, it just might be possible. A company called Emotiv released a headset at the Game Developers Conference this week that uses medical technology to scan the user's brain for electricity (EEG) and promises to make our online characters become a little more lifelike. 
After seeing the The Girl's Guide to Gaming Handbook, I was totally prepared when I saw this Girl Gamer mag by Nintendo. The pink title, the pink DS Lite, pink lipstick, it's all starting to look the same! I can't wait to get my hands on a copy so I can examine the goods, and see if it actually has some substance underneath its pastel pink cover (although I must admit, its not half as bad as the Gaming Handbook).
