Tokyo Games Show kicks off tonight, in about an hour with Microsoft's keynote address. Nintendo and Sony are not giving addresses this year; though Sony will be present on the show floor to show their titles.
Games, games, games. Lots of big games to be shown at this year's show. It's been relatively quiet up until this week, so no one really knows what surprises to expect, if any.
I'll update this thread as new stuff breaks out.
