This was the first games expo I’ve attended but I must say that it was largely what I would have expected: various game companies pushing their latest games and consoles (Sony and Nintendo doing the lion’s share), various tertiary education institutions pushing their games-related courses (sadly Melbourne Uni hasn’t caught on) and various vendors trying to sell you stuff. Still, overall it was quite enjoyable and great to be able to check out the latest games without having to, say, buy a PS3. Following are some of my highlights from the event and my general review.
The eGames & Entertainment Expo for 2007 is set to start next weekend at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre. It sounds like it will be a decent weekend of gaming goodness so I’m quite keen to go. Any readers thinking of attending?
