I attended 1 day of the Eurogamer Expo last year in Leeds, which involved playing many unreleased games at the time, and going to a developer session which was as good, if not even more interesting. Hearing how Introversion struggled with getting their game, Darwinia, onto the xbox live market place for an hour was actually very insightful. This year they scrapped the Leeds location to concentrate on the main London event which I haven’t attended before. So that being said, this year I will be traveling down south for all 3 days at Earls Court. I had originally booked the last 2 days which I figured would be more than enough time. I want to go to as many developer sessions as possible and figured I could spend one day going to all the available sessions, playing a few games inbetween, and then concentrate on playing games on the second day. That was before they annouced a developer session with Peter Molyneux on the Friday. When I heared about this I bought a ticket for the first day as well. This would have been my traveling day, but now I will be going early hours of the morning to get to London in time. But I’m sure it will be worth it.
I will be recording lots of video, and writing up my impressions of many games so check back after the event to see all of that.
Happy returns to a boy and his blog.
