News via AnimeNewsNetwork
The recently completed Tokyo Sky Tree tower is normally aglow with 1,995 lights in multiple colors at night. On March 10 and March 11, the 634-meter-tall tower is being illuminated with just the 444 white lights to mark the 67th anniversary of the World War II bombing of Tokyo and the first anniversary of the Great Eastern Japan Earthquake (Higashi Nihon Daishinsai) disaster.

I had a short session with the game today.  And I am not doing a review, just writing some of my thoughts after playing it this morning.
The game is not too bad...but not too great either.  The game has a very complex control scheme for controlling the various aspect of your mobile suit, which takes a bit of time to get use to.  The graphic is not as fancy as the latest & greatest (ie. Mass Effect 3), but it gets the job done.  Gameplay thus far in the early stages were a bit on the easy side, even when I set the game to 'Hard' mode. 
One thing I do look forward to is playing the DLCs... I got the code for the Delta Gundam, but have yet to try it out.  And I probably would purchase some of the DLCs off the PSN.  Maybe I will post about that later.
Judging whether a game is good or not is a very subjective matter.  But I can honestly say that after I played for an hour or so, I was yearning to go back to playing Gundam Vs. Extreme... 
But I think I will invest some more time in this game to play thru all the levels & some of the DLCs, since I heard that the game was on the short side.  Most likely by the time I mastered the control scheme, I would've beaten the game already..lol
