God Hand hands-on in Japan

Clover Studio, the developer of such games as Viewtiful Joe and Okami, will host an event in Tokyo to show off its upcoming PlayStation 2 action game, God Hand. Clover Studios producer Atsushi Inaba and Grasshopper Manufacture developers Goichi Suda and Masahi Takada are scheduled to hold live talks at the event, which is taking place September 2--about two weeks before God Hand's release in Japan. Attendees will walk away with limited-edition merchandise available only at the event. There is no charge for the party, but attendance is limited to 60 people, to be selected by a drawing. God Hand is set for an October release in North America.
