It was embarrassing, not a lot there, complete crap. Owned most of the games on show. Far Cry 2 was the only title worth looking at, especially as the Dev's conducted the demo. Security guards were little hitlers!
Me and my two best friends went on Saturday and we thought it was pretty good. But it was very crowded. I'd say Rockband and Soul Calibur IV were the best games there :D
Had a terrible time there. Serious lack of new or future games on show. Promised Resident Evil 5, Condemned 2 and Force Unleashed. Got games that'd been out for ages and massive queues that lead to me getting pissed off and leaving!!! Also I thought that (well, I paid for ) my VIP ticket said no under 18s but there were far too many kids blocking the place up!!!
One good thing was that at least now it's shown that there's a market for Games exhibitions over here.
I attended on saturday, and thought overall the show was good, on the premise that hopefully it will open the flood gates for more consumer games shows. but it wasnt without its issues... the issues for me had to be the not so central location, the venue was too small, the placed was rammed and i didnt get a look-in at hardly any games. Also what was with the ticket structures??? they sell a full day ticket, then remove the full day tickets from sale in place of half days ones. Fine, but a) should have made their minds up from the start because it caused a problem if you had a full ticket or VIP. There was no where near enough to fill up a full day, but you would need to be there that long to play anything or enter competitions after battling ques. So how do they get rid of those with morning tickets? they have an hour "interval" which basically entails kicking everyone and anyone out. Obviously with the aim to get rid of those with morning tickets. I had the full day tickets, but found myself being ejected from the venue along with anyone else. Just after finally getting my hands on GRID. that i had waited ages for. with that i just left. Okay an eye openener for commercial game shows, and would love to see more in london, but was disapointed this this event.
holy monkey man this is crazy
We had an amazing time, we went there on Sunday afternoon, and did find it packed however we welcomed all the free stuff we got for just the £6 entrance fee. We entered most of the competitions and we got the chance to play some games, however we did find that it lacked new games in the making. Overall it was a fun event and we did find it complete as there were also live bands and shows going on.:)£6 well spent!!!!
