Oh, there was definitely some interesting stuff for the PC. F.E.A.R is supposedly great though I only got to play some multiplayer (and while that was good, it didn’t particularly impress me). I checkout out Battlefield 2 and that is looking VERY good. The new commander mode is really fantastic and has a lot of potential. I’m always complaining that there is never any real leadership in online shooters and in the end, you get chaos. I’m hoping Battlefield 2 will change that.
I also got some time with The Movies and that game is quite obviously an instant classic. It’s the dream of every machinima aficionado and it sports a terrifically intuitive interface. (there are almost no menus).
Starcraft ghosts was also present and I spent a whole 20 seconds looking at it before deciding that the graphics really WERE that bad and moving on.
There were also lots of MMORPGS around and the vast majority are geared towards the pc. You could check out the new world of warcraft expansion, City of Villainsas well as many unknown names coming from unknown developpers.
Ah, Kentia … or, as I like to call it, the “Hall of Lost Dreams” … sleazy overstock wholesalers squeezed next to Hong Kong developers showing kayak-racing games with babies as their characters … sweaty VR-helmet displays side-by-side with booths consisting of nothing but empty jewel cases … middle-aged programmers sitting forlornly next to HD displays showing off dev tools they spent the last two years writing that nobody wants to buy … PS2 controllers that look like goth bongs … “booth babes” who clearly are nothing more than normal female marketing drones coaxed into ludicrous outfits by an excess of company zeal … .
Kentia … what it lacks in cool game demos, it makes up in pathos. There are a thousand stories in Kentia … .
