In a quiet corner of Microsoft's booth at the Tokyo Game Show lay Jade Empire, Bioware's latest RPG for the Xbox. Sitting beside the just released Fable (well, in America anyway), Jade Empire was given one non-playable demo and one short playable demo for eager Japanese Xbox owners to try out. Not exactly the kind of attention you'd expect would be given to a game that's from the creators of some of the best RPGs in recent history, but you'll have to forgive the Japanese gaming demographic if they seem somewhat unreceptive to the game. You could just mistake it for politeness!
