This just might be the best cosplay at this year's Tokyo Game Show: A little Cloud Strife from Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children riding a small Chocobo.

Saturday was the first public day at the Tokyo Game Show. Meaning? Throngs of people descended and lined up to play games. There was one title in particular people wanted to play, and that was Monster Hunter: World.

Longshot, the interactive drama behind this year's Madden, tells the story of a man who tries to beat the odds to accomplish an impossible dream. The tale behind the making of Longshot is similar.

Or to put it another way, the banks are rorting us slightly less than before.

You know what time of year it is: the week in the calendar where everything goes full sports, and old favourites re-appear. FIFA 18 drops on Friday, but for nostalgics it will be the release of the Mini SNES (and Star Fox 2) that has the biggest appeal.

Tokyo Game Show is as much about going shopping as it is playing games. Most of the major game publishers have two booths at TGS: One with game demos, and one selling merch. Some of it's available elsewhere in Japan, some of it's only available here. And most of it is really cool.

Just in time for next week's 10th anniversary of Halo 3: Live Halo Or Die Trying, the folks at gaming gear makers Jinx have launched a new line of official Halo clothes and things. Things like these six-inch vinyl figures of Battle Damaged Master Chief and Night Ops Spartan Locke, for example.

Batman: Arkham Knight, a video game about driving a secret tank, came out in 2015. The merch is still rolling in though, and while normally that wouldn't be cause for general concern, this 84cm statue is some hilariously intricate fanservice.

Earlier this month, developer Epic Games announced a Battle Royale mode for its game Fortnite, and as it turns out, the makers of that other Battle Royale game aren't too thrilled.
