 Took a quick trip to Akihabara
this evening. Had to get my fix of G33K toys. Had to visit Aso
Bit City. It's probably a good thing that I got there about one hour before it closed or else I would've ended up spending my whole day
there.
There was one console game on the first floor that caught my attention.
Drag On
Dragoon from Square Enix. From the
CM video on the overhead TVs Drag-On Dragoon looks like an awesome
combo of Dynasty
Warrior(movie)
for ground combat, and a wicked jet fighter combat sim merged on top of
a souped-up Dragon
Rage. Add the Square CG touch and we have a WINNER. Links to
movies on the official Drag-On Dragoon site: first
video, second
video, third
video (the second vid roqs!).  The
photo on the top right is of a Robot PC case. The "do-it-yourself" kit
goes for around $450. I couldn't convince Shirley to let me get
one for our living room. ;)
The photo on the left is of the 1st floor entrance area. This is where you can test out the newest games. On this visit we spent alot of time on the 5th floor. Model guns, soft
air guns, and models. Checkout the gung-ho grrl testing out the fully
automatic soft air gun. There's tons of "H" and KAWAII anime
characters. An Otaku paradise. Next to the train area there was a
display of a model train station. It reminded us of Sim City.
  
 
** Full disclosure: I did end up purchasing Star Wars Galaxies **
I had to. To please the Aso Bit City gods!
