Eurogamer Expo After-Action Report

- Like?

Halo 4 plays quite nicely, Assassin's Creed 3 is very entertaining as well (actually got two single player levels instead of a multiplayer booth this year). Played a bunch of Indie games that were all interesting to try out, and played a round of Dust 514 - the gameplay itself is similar to other FPSes, but I'm interested how it'll link up to EVE Online (not that I can afford a subscription to either at present). Borderlands 2 and Dishonored queues were too long for me to get a shot in. Probably played a bunch of other stuff that I've forgotten about too.

Spent a couple of hours trialing the various games in the WiiU section (excluding ZombiU, which had an independent, 1hr 30min queue). The gamepad is far less clunky than I had expected, and the NintendoLand games (while my reaction upon the original announcement was of skepticism at the gimmicky-ness of it) are actually very entertaining to play, particularly the 4vs1 games. Entered a competition to win a WiiU, given that it took me over an hour to play the required 5 games for entry and that there were fewer NintendoLand demo pods than there were games the odds are slightly higher than a limitation-free raffle (not to say I have any chance of winning though :P).

No pictures, since I forgot to turn my phone off the previous night and I had to keep it off most of the time to save what little power it had left. Sam got a couple of pictures though, he may or may not upload them later. All in all, it was a very entertaining trip and I am most likely going to buy tickets for 2013 as well!
