The Computer Entertainment Supplier's Association (CESA) awarded Nintendo's Wii Fit and Capcom's Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G top accolades in this year's Japan Game Awards held during the ongoing Tokyo Game Show. More awardees after the jump.

The Japan Media Create software sales charts for the week ending on March 9 have been revealed. Namco Bandai's Gundam Musou Special for the Playstation 2 has been driven from the number one slot by Sega's Yakuza 3: Kenzan! for the Playstation 3.  To find out more, check out the full article by clicking on the "read more" link below.

The Tokyo Game Show is looming ever so near and we're prepping up for what the developers have in store for us. One such developer doesn't seem to want us guessing what they're offering come TGS: Sega. Sega's official website has been updated with their line-up for this year and we have to say the the list ain't too shabby. Not shabby at all.

Remember Ryu Ga Gotoku? It was better known as Yakuza on these and Europe's shores. Hopefully, we'll finally see a sequel (Ryu Ga Gotoku 2 doesn't really count as it was only released in Japan) and it's going to come busting to the PlayStation 3. It is currently called Ryu Ga Gotoku Kenzen and is scheduled for spring of next year.

Sega is pretty much loaded in titles for the PS3, DS, PS2, and Wii, while the Xbox 360 and PSP rosters are a bit bare. The titles to keep an eye on are Bleach: The Third Phantom, Battlefield of the Valkyrie, Sonic Rush Adventure, and Ghost Squad, among others. Anyway, here's the list with their respective ETAs courtesy of Siliconera.

The DS and PS2 were the big winners at the awards show. The PSP and PC also made it on the list. Blizzard in particular must be glad to see that their game is making such a splash in a market that's regarded as almost impossible to crack by Western developers. Congrats to all the winners!

With Rockstar's GTA: Vice City Stories coming out in a few months, we thought we'd do a special on GTA Liberty City Stories. We'll show you guys stuff like cheats, maps, and other nostalgic what-nots that could help you guys get into a "GTA" mood. Admit it, the game might be a bit dated, but it's still quite popular.

Liberty City Stories is still one of the best experiences on the PSP, and the massive number of hacks and homebrew mods for the game is a testament to its fun factor.

Okay, so let's start with the characters first:

Toni Cipriani
He's a recurring character. Hey, you just can't keep a good man down can ya?

After he killed a made man for Don Leone, Toni left Liberty City for Several Years and has kept a reasonably low profile. Because he's been out for too long, other members of the Leone Mafia family have had the time to move up the food chain. Salvatore basically had no choice but to strip our good man Toni of his rank and hand the authority to someone else. Now, Toni's a low-ranking goon that has to once again work his way up.

Salvatore Leone
This is a very familiar face from GTA. Yet again, you will be doing a lot of missions for him and will be introduced to him from early stages of the game.

Things at some point goes bad for the Don. For one thing the mayor seems to have it out for him. The Sicilian Mafia is in town, so that's a big headache. And to add icing to the big problem cake, the lesser gangs of the city are stepping up and are trying to win back the turf that the Leone now control.

Salvatore is a bit paranoid, and is never able to fully trust most people.
