Tokyo. I'll probably be arriving there around the middle of June.

I'm in Japan for 2 weeks from 19th June. Me and my girlfriend will be going to Tokyo, Yokohama, Fujisawa, Kyoto, Osaka & Himeji. We'll also be going to Tokyo Disneyland and Sanrio Puroland! XD

I suppose I need the time to learn more Japanese...

I'm brushing up on my basic conversational Japanese at the mo, I seem to know more than I did a few years ago so that's a good sign...

Really? Me too!

Nice! Where about's you going?

Got this shot on my last day when I visited in 2007, these are some of the office buildings near the Imperial Palace in Tokyo

The view facing me from Shibuya station, one of my favourites!

Another favourite, taken from the observation deck of Tokyo Tower

I happening to be going again in 1 1/2 months, I can't wait!

Any chance one of you could PM me details of what happens after the credits? I didn't have time to stay and see it

It's released here in Europe today, I went to an advance preview

Well I have to say Iron Man 2 was a very good film. There's more dialogue than in the first and it does get a bit hectic at times in regards to the plot but it doesn't ruin the enjoyment factor

I'll avoid reading those for now, off to an advance showing tomorrow so will give my personal opinion later.

BTW, what is the difference between the MK IV and the VI in the movie? Just the triangle chest battery and some grey paint here and there?

Probably, I'm guessing it's more powerful as well. IM2 gets released in the UK next Friday and I'm off to an advance showing on the Thursday afternoon so I'll find out then

Hot Toys reveal their 3rd Iron Man 2 figure - The Mark IV

Now I REALLY wish I had more money...

War Machine looks amazing! I wonder if Hot Toys will be doing Mk.4, 5 and 6 figures... Not like I could afford to have all of them anyway

Yeah that's best left alone...

@Taksraven: No pilot/driver, just an ugly robot in general then... Perhaps an ugly robots thread should be made, I bet there's plenty

I think this thread has covered all the bad mecha in existence, I could be mistaken though

Just had a shipping notification from HLJ, should have mine by next week

I haven't got a pic right now but does Michael Jackson's robot form in Moonwalker qualify?

The brothel fight scene from "The Protector"

Kajetokun's version of the same scene

I've been playing it a little here & there, but so far it's awesome (Uncharted 2). A very Indiana Jones worthy train scene is my favorite part so far.

The best is yet to come! What chapter have you got to?

Have any of you guys got the God of War III demo? I received an e-mail with a download code for it this morning

Going to get GT psp soon!

Nice, it's a good game! I'm on the bonus challenges at the moment.

Not so good. Activision has the money to throw around and get the big names, but they can't seem to get a crew on a music game that's as good as Harmonix. And I'm not sure how much fun the controller will be. It doesn't look fun. I'm not sure how closely it mimics real DJ-ing, but I suppose that there was a reason why I'd always dreamed of being a rock star and not a DJ.

Well I do a little bit of DJ-ing and the controller looks like it may mimic the real thing reasonably well but it's hard to judge by just looking at a picture. The buttons on the turntable look a bit funny as well, I'll definately have to try it first before I even consider buying the game.

Sounds like a mic problem Jenius, I've done vocals without having to sing stupidly high. I didn't own any of the Rock Band title so for me it was a good place to start and I'll pick up RB 2 sometime in the future. On the subject of music games, what do you think DJ Hero is going to be like?

Bought Beatles Rock Band & the Rickenbacker 325 controller this week. If you're a fan of music by The Beatles, this is a worthwile addition. Nice selection of songs (with more to come, soon hopefully) and the 'dreamscape' song visuals are fantastic

Anyone else playing uncharted 2? Just finished the game in normal and had a blast. The environmental puzzles were great, wonderful sense of height and motion.

It hasn't even been released in the UK yet... (It comes out tomorrow, got it on preorder)

Dear Polyphony Digital,

Where is Special Stage/Clubman Route 5?

Regards,

Valkyrie Nut

Seriously though, I'm really enjoying GT PSP but the fact that the night tracks aren't there has kind of let me down

I had no idea Hot Toys were doing an improved version of the Mk 3!

Thanks for uploading the pics! When's this bad boy going to be released?

Could someone post the pictures please, I can't view them
