The 2010 edition of the
Tokyo Game Show - arguably the world's largest gaming expo, with a record attendance of 207,647 people this year (finally breaking the 200,000 mark) - came to an end today, after four days packed full of playful novelties. But since covering everything that was revealed and shown there is next to impossible, for any sole human being, I thought I'd keep things simple and immediately gratifying. In other words, let's just skip to the "booth babes" - or "companions", if you will.

If you only have time for a quick glance at the show's beauties, you can check Dengeki's final selection of booth babes photos, spread over three pages -
here,
here and
here - and of course the show's traditional grand finale, where all the major companies' booth babes gather for one more delightful line-up - pictures on
Dengeki and on
andriasang (including a highlight of some of the most popular games at TGS 2010), among many other websites no doubt.
Now, if you still have some time left, below are even more photos to drool over, with links to the original articles, so you can watch them frolicking in their natural habitat.
Update: Here are the
winners of the "Future Division" awards, as voted by attendees of this year's TGS, from a total of 183 games expected to be released over the next year.
- The Idolm@ster 2 (Namco Bandai, Xbox 360)
- Vanquish (Sega, PS3 / Xbox 360)
- El Shaddai (Ignition, PS3 / Xbox 360)
- Gran Turismo 5 (SCE, PS3)
- DanceEvolution (Konami, Xbox 360)
- Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy (Square Enix, PSP)
- Ni no Kuni (Level-5, DS)
- Final Fantasy XIV (Square Enix, PC / PS3)
- Monster Hunter Portable 3rd (Capcom, PSP)
- Yakuza of the End (Sega, PS3)
Update #2: Even
more awards, this time picked by top game designers, not by mobs of overhyped fans.
"The winner of the first Game Designers Award was Heavy Rain. In contrast, Heavy Rain placed 70th in general public voting for the excellence awards." Quantic Dream for the win! If Omikron (The Nomad Soul) or Fahrenheit (Indigo Prophecy) ring a bell...
