Anyway it was totally awesome!

Unfortunately the event is too large for one day. I should have got tickets for two days! Sad

Games I saw:

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Fifa12, Ico and Shadow of the Colossus, Mass Effect 3, Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One, Sonic Generations, Starhawk, Zelda: Skyward Sword, Ace Combat: Assault Horizon, Need for Speed: The Run, Pro Evolution Soccer 2012, Star Wars: Old Republic, Forza 4, Halo Anniversary Edition, Inversion, Rayman Origins, Ridge Racer: Unbounded, Renegade Ops, Tin Tin, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine, World of Tanks, Assassins Creed: Revelations, Driver: San Francisco, Final Fantasy XIII-2, Resistance 3, Surpremacy MMA, Tekken Hybrid, Anarchy Reigns, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Gears of War 3, Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, Rise of Nightmares, Saints Row 3, Silent Hill: Downpour.

Games I played:

Journey, Mario Kart 7, Resident Evil Revelations, Uncharted 3, Batman: Arkham City, Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, Rage, Dark Souls, Battlefield 3, Binary Domain, Ninja Gaiden 3.

I went in at 11am and left at 7pm with approximately an hour for lunch.

There were also a retro section with every console since the 80s!

I attended two developer sessions which lasted approximately an hour each.

One was id Software's Tim Willits talking about the last 20 years of their games from Wolfenstein to Rage followed by him playing Rage in single player.

The other was the Uncharted 3 hosted by Richard Lemarchand (Lead Game Designer at Naughty Dog) and Nathan Drake himself, Nolan North! They were discussing all 3 Uncharted games, the motion capture and design. They showed exclusive world first gameplay of Uncharted 3 which was awesome!

The PSVita was there available to play but the queue was just too massive lol so I didnt get to play Sad

There was also the UK launch of Onlive which is a game streaming service for those without a PC or a PC not good enough to play the latest games. They were giving away 3000 sets of Onlive for people at Eurogamer. The kit is worth £69.99! I got one! Smile

Highlight of the day without a doubt is Skyrim!

I look forward to going next year!


May the NFOrce be with you always.

Well I managed to get to end of the demo and defeat a mini boss so maybe it's not that hard! Could be different for the final release though. What I did play was surprisingly awesome! Very satisfying game to play and plenty of gore! No decapitations however. I heard they had been removed from the third game to allow for more blood lol. The demo level was London which had big red buses and the London Eye in the background. All the bad guys had guns which isn't like the previous Ninja Gaiden games. I was highly amused by the bad guys pleading to be spared and begging for mercy after slaughtering their comrades haha! Fun game and I look forward to playing it!

Binary Domain was also a surprisingly good game. Never heard or seen anything of it before. It's a cross between Gears of War and Vanquish. It's humans Vs well armoured robot enemies in a third person shooter. It was sort of squad based with two other AI players in my team who I could issue commands to. Visually nice and fun to play. I will be keeping an eye out for it! Smile
