TGS is over. *Sniff*. But with the Makuhari Messe now devoid of bright lights, scantily-clad ladies and the sweaty musk of tens of thousands of Japanese gamers, attention now turns towards the important stuff. Like what won "best in show". Or, as CESA (Japan's ESRB) call it, the "Future Awards", held as part of their Japan Game Awards 2008 festivities. Twelve games were recognised - most of them having been playable on the showroom floor - and every major Japanese gaming platform (ie everything bar the PC) is represented. The winners are (they're not ranked or anything): Idolm@ster - Namco Bandai - PSP Gyakuten Kenji - Capcom - DS White Knight Story - Sony - PS3 Star Ocean 4 - Square Enix - Xbox 360 Final Fantasy: Dissidia - Square Enix - PSP Dragon Quest IX - Square Enix - DS Resident Evil 5 - Capcom - Xbox 360/PS3 Monster Hunter 3 - Capcom - Wii 428 - Sega - Wii LittleBigPlanet - Sony - PS3 Yakuza 3 - Sega - PS3 Let's Tap - Sega - Wii [Japan Game Awards 2008]
