Ah yes, our fearless leader Niero along with Nick, Dale, Florian, and Eliza are all making their way to Tokyo right now and we back home couldn’t be any more jealous, envious, full of rage, prouder of them. We’ve already told you about what Square, Capcom and Sony are planning on showing. Now lets find out what Konami has under their hat.
We’re already well aware of their what their main game of the event is going to be (and undoubtedly the biggest game of TGS), Metal Gear Solid 4. It’s going to be really interesting to see how this will affect all the hypesauce that’s on Halo 3 right now.
Aside from MGS 4, they have plenty of other games to show off. What are they? The jump button will reveal all!

WHAT:

Rounding out this must-see line up is Time Hollow™ for the Nintendo DS and Silent Hill Origins™: Zero that offer gamers pulse-quickening entertainment on the PSP® system.
First of all, Big Head Baseball? What the hell is that? A way for the Japanese to make fun of all the steroid abusing American Baseball players? I like! Also, it for some reason reminds me of that one Simpsons episode where Mr. Burns creates a company baseball team and one of the players heads becomes gigantic (useless Simpsons info is useless).
Anyway, the real game I’m interested in hearing more about is Silent Hill Origins. Sure, it seems to be bitting from Resident Evil 4, but that’s not such a bad thing, is it?
