The Tokyo Game Show 2008 is in full swing with the news already pouring out, luckily your friends here at GameOnYou UK, are here to report it to you as it happens.
First off, the “New Xbox Experience”, after lots of speculation about it’s release date, Microsoft decided that they could not contain themselves any longer and revealed that it will hit consoles worldwide on November 19th.
So it may not be in time for the release of Gears of War 2, it arrives in plenty of time for Christmas. If that wasn’t enough, Bungie decided end speculation of their latest project, well, sort of.
Halo 3: Recon, announced for late 2009, will be a Halo 3 adjacent campaign where you will take control of an “ODST”, better known as a “Helljumper”. That is all told us and the video shown didn’t help us find out anything else.
The video for Halo 3: Recon can be found on the Xbox Live marketplace, but we urge you to see it through to the end, it uses the “Keep It Clean” teaser as an intro, causing people to turn off before the good stuff happens.
Keep coming back for the latest from TGS 2008.

This has to be one of the funniest video game related pieces of news ever… And Kids wonder why their parents won’t let them play GTA. Well, now we know…
A 13 year old from Texas who stole his Dad’s credit card and ordered two hookers from an escort agency, has today been convicted of fraud and given a three year community order.
Ralph Hardy, a 13 year old from Newark, Texas confessed to ordering an extra credit card from his father’s existing credit card company, and took his friends on a $30,000 spending spree, culminating in playing “Halo” on an Xbox with a couple of hookers in a Texas motel.
Asked why he ordered two escorts, Ralph said he thought it was the thing to do when you win a “World of Warcraft” tournament. They told the suspicious working girls they were people of restricted growth working with a traveling circus, and as State law does not allow those with disabilities to be discriminated against they had no right to refuse them.
The $1,000 a night girls sensing something up played “Halo” on the Xbox with the kids, instead of selling their sexual services.
Ralph’s ambition is to one day become a politician.
(Ed: What have we learned from this? Don’t let your kid order credit cards in your name, dipshit!)
