MS unveiling new 360 RPGs next tuesday in Japan
http://www.1up.com/do/blogEntry?bId=876217...cUserId=4549175

It's been a while since I've written one of these types of blogs. But yeah, I'm off to Japan for over a week to do that thing I do. What am I going to see? Well, the only thing I can disclose right now is that Microsoft is having a press conference in Shibuya next Tuesday, to show off its line-up of role-playing games. Yeah, on Xbox 360. Go figure. At least two of those will be Last Remnant and Infinite Undiscovery, but they apparently have some surprises up their sleeve. But that's only on Tuesday. I have meetings from Monday straight through to the following weekend, and those meetings are top-secret. I will say that all of these visits will benefit you, the reader, in both Electronic Gaming Monthly and on 1UP.

I can safely say that the next, next issue of EGM (the upcoming one is a superfly, in-depth look at Killzone 2 with one of the best cover designs to ever grace the magazine -- but in this instance I'm talking about the one after that) might just be the best single issue I've ever been a part of, and that goes back to my original shift on EGM (with the customized Yoshitaka Amano covers), the following years on GMR (24 issues of hotness), and the special issues of OPM that I worked on (the groundbreaking Hideo Kojima interview, and the Shadow of the Colossus issue). It took me weeks to nail down and arrange all of the people, places and things on my itinerary. And then of course I couldn't find my passport last night (but I found it this morning!).

I'll be back with the usual photoblogs and whatnot, but expect the following week to be chock full of RPG reportage from Tokyo, spine-tickling previews, and then get ready for the upcoming months worth of awesomeness that you cannot possibly prepare yourself for. It's going to be amazing. Anyway, expect excitable, delirious, awesome updates throughout the week (sorry for all the hyperbole, but in this instance it's all true). The week is gonna be so hectic that I'm gonna run my camerman, Jason, into the ground. And keep your eyes peeled for news on Tuesday from the press conference in Tokyo.

Microsoft won't ever cancel games

There's a reason why Microsoft hasn't been that successful in the past on the continent, because they sit in Redmond and it's hard to understand how to make 15 games for a smaller European market," Zetterberg said.
