Japan Gaming Guide

Xbox 360 users went head to head with PC gamers at a recent event held by Microsoft in Japan. The event, held at Microsoft head office, gave 200 people the chance to try out the latest games for 360 and Windows Vista.

The highlight of the event was the 16 player Shadowrun game, pitting 360 players against their PC counterparts. Famitsu is curiously quiet on who won the event – we think that gamers using keyboards and mice would have a natural advantage, but they’re not telling us either way.

GT driver Takeshi Tsuchiya was there to give advice on Forza Motorsport 2, and the Japanese Pac Man CE champion turned up as well.

Other games on show at the event included Test Drive Unlimited, Flight Simulator X and Viva Pinata.

It’s nice to see that Microsoft is still making an effort in Japan, there seems to have been a minor burst of interest in the 360 recently. Who knows, it might even start selling.
