Reuben Langdon should be familiar to Devil May Cry fans; Dante's face has more than a passing similarity to Reuben, as he's been providing the moves and voice  for the character since DMC3. He's done a done of work for Capcom over the years, including RE4, Lost Planet 2, Street Fighter IV (he did Ken's voice) and RE Darkside Chronicles. The Christian Science Monitor has an interview with him, where he talks about his history (he starred in a Japanese Power Ranger-type show!) as well as the future (he worked on Cameron's Avatar!). Plus, he's a super nice dude, as anyone who's met him at various anime, game and comic conventions can attest. If you've ever wondered what it takes to be an actor in the world of video game production, check this out.

If you're like me, you probably love Japanese toys almost as much as you love Japanese video games. I've been obsessed with transforming toys since I was a kid and every trip to Japan costs me serious dough as I drop more $$$ than I should pursuing childhood delights. While Akihabara is the Tokyo mecca for all things toy-related, it turns out that even large electronic chain Bic Camera can house a  surprisingly extensive amount of awesomeness. I snapped these photos inside the Bic near Tokyo Station, then proceded to spend over $400 in this one store (don't tell my wife) on some stuff that I will share later in the week when my box of goodies arrives from Japan. There are several more pictures in my Toys from Tokyo gallery. Enjoy!

Perhaps lost a bit in the Tokyo Game Show shuffle was news that both Sengoku Basara Samurai Heroes and Ghost Trick to the US in 2010. Some of you are undoubtedly familar with the Basara series (the first game was rather unceremoniously released in the US as Devil Kings years ago), but Ghost Trick is a whole new beast. Part murder mystery, part logic puzzler, Ghost Trick puts you in the pointy, undead hair of Sissel, an amnesiac ghost of a man recently murdered. Yeah, it gets weirder: you can use your ghost powers to travel on cell phone networks, possess items in the world to scare away would-be assassins and rewind time by four minutes to prevent further deaths. Wired.com's Chris Kohler loves all things Ace Attorney, so he was naturally drawn to Ghost Trick, the games share similar developers and "spirit" <-- See what I did there? Check out his brief hands-on from our media suite to get a better sense of the game than I am capable of providing. He also calls it "Game of the Show," which I think may be a bit much, but we'll take it ;)

Most of the big software publishers set up their own stores at TGS, which the public will descend on en force on Saturday. There's a huge variety of goods and t-shirts for many of Capcom's big franchises, with an emphasis on Ace Attorney and, of course, Monster Hunter. Here's a few shots, with many more in my photo cache here.
