Day two of this year's Tokyo Game Show saw yours truly and Dan slogging it out against the tenacious Japanese along with the rest of known world for all the exclusive stuff we could nab. Well, actually that's not true. The reality is everyone here is unbelievably accommodating and we're managing to score some great gameplay and interview sessions.

If you haven't checked out our first video interview up with Mirror's Edge Senior Producer, Owen O'Brian, make sure you do because it's a great insight into the game as well as revealing the potential future of what will likely become a long-standing EA IP. We also took a look at Sony's inFamous in detail in this preview.

Day one aside, we began day two with an awesome encounter with Aaron Greenberg, Xbox 360 Production guru and the event's New Xbox Experience protagonist. He ran us through the inner workings of the new Xbox 360 set up which we'll show in greater detail (and in video form) in the not-too-distant future.

We also shacked up alongside one of the Aussie's working out of Ubisoft Shanghai on Endwar to see whether you're going to be wanting to verbally control your RTS's this holiday season. Initially we weren't sure about this game, but after this session, I'm happy to say it's actually looking pretty solid and maybe doesn't play quite the way you think.

Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts also found its way into our scope and despite being a super-old kiddie platforming title, there's something utterly charming about its return to gaming. Again, we'll have a video up of this session soon.

Another cool feature we indulged in was to check out the World Premiere of the fully CG Resi flick, Resident Evil: Degeneration, which while not anywhere near the standard of Pixar or the like, will sate fans of the series needing any form of closure or association with its many and various chapters and parts.

We got to check out the show floor in detail once again, booth babes in tow. And for your viewing pleasure have uploaded a handful of images to check out. Tomorrow (Saturday, October 11) we brave the general public just for you, and we'll be sure to catch as many whacky Japanese cosplay victims as possible for you to look at as well as capture what can only be described as an ingrained culture of videogames and life here in Japan.

Stay tuned for more.
