The Daily Bubble Tea

This year’s Taipei Game Show kicked off yesterday at the Taipei World Trade Center. I checked out the action early that afternoon before going to work. Tickets are $200NT at the door [$150NT for students] for admission. Inside there are loads of games, schwag, and promotional models to enjoy.

Master Chief looks pretty intimidating until you notice…

He’s wearing Nike.. aim for the feet! We found a weakness in the armor!

Halo 3 action figures go on sale in March… I think I will need to pick up a few. Don’t forget to accessorize your X-box 360:

Three displays showing off Forza Motorsport 2:

Somewhere out there, a Sony fanboy cries himself to sleep:

Meanwhile, two young ladies try out Dance Dance Revolution Universe:

A couple 360 girls:

IGS’s 蒼天Online - an adventure game set in the time of the chaos after the collapse of the Han Dynasty. Their show started off with a few dancers followed by women wearing some great costumes [I don't think the dance had anything to do with the game]:

Finally, a group photo:

Hellgate: London didn’t have nearly as cool of a set up as they did last year. But they did bring the monster back:

I was watching the IGS stage show while Hellgate was performing. I missed the whole thing, but it must have been decent, from a distance I could see that whips were involved.

They also had some cool statues on display:

Run Up Games had a few absurdly beautiful women on their roster:

NBA Street Online’s girls did some dancing for the crowd, there were also a couple basketball hoops behind the stage to take shots:

M-etal Co., LTD also had a lot of girls on hand for the event:

Set up for Sony’s Gran Turismo 5:

Sony made the PS3 to shove their Blu-ray format down consumer’s throats, way to blow your lead in the console wars gents:

Finally, if one of your game’s characters is a giant chipmunk, you have no choice but to make the cutest stage show possible. Here is Holic Online:

If you are looking for more pics of gorgeous women, there will likely be a slew of new contributions to the NH Bushman’s Women of Taiwan Flickr group over the next few days.
