Tokyo Game Show 2008 Sony Booth Babes

I’m not a big fan of Sony’s business practices, but mad props to them for deploying so many poised and cheery PlayStation booth babes at Tokyo Game Show 2008. Sackboy from Little Big Planet looks like he’s enjoying their company.

Let’s Tap on the Wii

Anyone who’s ever tapped on his desk while waiting for his computer to do something will love this. Turns out Nintendo Wiimotes are really, really sensitive. They can pick up taps on a cardboard box. One of Sega’s games on display at Tokyo Game Show 2008 takes adantage of that sensitivity: Let’s Tap.

It actually comes with cardboard boxes for tapping. In an age of digital distribution, it’s good to see game packaging that’s actually useful.

The game itself is actually a set of simple minigames, but I wonder if more complex games can take advantage of this tapping mechanic. I’d tap that.
