Like previous years, I’ve decided to pay a visit to the Games Convention Asia 2009 held at the Suntec Convention Centre.. The event was held at Hall 401, at the far end of the convention hall.. Although I was kind of expecting something epic from this year’s event due to good experiences from previous ones, I was however disappointed.. More on that after the jump..
Well, before I go and tell why Im disappointed, let me tell you whats in store for you guys at the event.. First, there is the X-Box360 booth (I forgot the distributor for the event).. There are a few good games to play, namely from Shadow Complex, Forza Motorsport 3..
and one of the most anticipated game, the Halo ODST, though you are only able to play the “Firefight” multiplayer mode.. It was nice to play the Halo game since the control are almost similar to the one from the previous Halo series.. It’s fun killing some Covenents no? XD
Next up, we have the epic EA Games booth, one of the most awesome booth at the event just like last year.. For this year’s event, EA has showcased quite a number of awesome games..
For example, there is the upcoming Need for Speed Shift, which resembles more of Forza Motorsport and Gran Turismo.. I still prefer epic storyline for NFS like NFS: Undercover…
There are also games like Brutal Legends, an epic heavy-metal-hack-n-slash RPG game with the character, Eddie Riggs voiced by the epic Jack Black.. What more could you ask for from such game.. This game will be out on October 13th 2009.. ^^
Here are the 2 trailers I found of the game itself.. Enjoy~
Then we have another anticipated game, the Rockband: The Beatles Edition.. Well, its simple, you have a rockband set, just that you are playing songs sung by The Beatles themselves.. But I’m not a great fan of this game though since I dunno how you can mix “Rockband” with “The Beatles”.. Kinda ironic don’t you think? Dun get me wrong, I do listen to some of their songs.. XD
As usual, here are the trailer and OP of the game…
Rockband: The Beatles – Trailer:
Although the games seems epic, the event itself isnt.. The hall they used this time is smaller and there aren’t alot of big game companies unlike last time.. This year, I get to see IAH, EA and Playcraft among all companies there.. Oh well, at least the lighting inside is bright..
Thats all I have regarding GCA 09 for now.. There are more games at the event such as Borderlands but that will be posted by Fuzzy since he loved that game so much.. For today, there will be some cosplayers who will attend the event so do drop by Suntec if you do have some time.. ^^
