I'll be there on the Saturday with some friends. Have to leave the house at around 5am to catch a train :eek:
Lots of great games announced and really looking forward to it now - need to find a new top for the 'occassion' now

I am going to the Eurogamer Expo at Earls Court in a couple of weeks, though, for the first time.
Both horrible places to!
Me too
Another reason why England is better:p
Pretty easy journey for me though, since I live in Birmingham.
We've had this discussion before about all the things Scotland & England have gave us, then I pointed out that England produced the "H-Bomb" & the argument was over; Scotland won!
Yes, but look at Icy's list that she made, we won big time:cool::p
Anyone else going? Got my ticket for Sunday!! looking forward to uncharted, hopefully see some new videos and get a go at the game!
MW3 and batman arkham city are also making an apperance, should be a good day out for £10
Good day out but feel they should have limited the numbers a little.
For anyone thats going, well worth going to the Game Hub, were they did some hands on demos of MW3 (took you through 2 single player levels), and F1 2011.
Finally. 1st post.
Don't suppose you have a rough wait time for the queues for the titles you mention?
The main games were in excess of 2/3 hours and that's no joke. I queued up an hour just to play FIFA 12 and then found it was just the demo version. Batman only had three machines on there stand so I didn't bother queuing for it. Way too many long queues spoiled it for me. I really wanted to play BF3 but I will wait fir the demo.
Have fun queuing if your going.
Thanks for your reply
I only managed to play Rage and Battlefield 3, both took around 2-3 hours to queue. Rage was a bit pants tbh and glad I played it as I was thinking of getting it. Now I wont.
Got my photo taken with Mario and Sonic - highlight of the day as it'll put a smile on my son's face.
Fancied having a pic taken with the Nuts and Saints Row girls (wow), but the missus wouldn't be happy haha.
Was a good event, not great mainly because how busy it was- certainly should have limited it or indeed limited gameplay time/have more consoles. They certainly could have used more floor space as there were wide walkways and the area by the PS Move/Nuts was quite bare, and there were far too many tables and chairs by the food.
Highlight - Battlefield 3!!!!
I think the empty space was to accommodate the queues for the hub?
What was wrong with Rage ?
Glad you liked BF3.
I think the main problem was a lot of the bigger games were 15/18's so couldn't be shown on big screens for everyone to see, I wasn't too fussed about playing them but would have been good to see them. Def think they should have had a separate hall for the over 18's, so that all the games could be shown on big screens.
I went with 2 friends, 1 wanted to have a go at Rage so we queued for over an hour for that, it killed my feet by the time we got in for what 'seemed' only like 5 miutes of playing time. I thought the game was kinda crap my friend loved it saying its going to be game of the year, i was like thinking - ??? wtf this is junk.
Then we waited in the que for the BF3 dog tags for about 45 minutes.
The place was rammed packed of people. It really needs to be 5 halls big instead of just 2 halls, have every game 3 times more PC's/consoles, the hub room needs to be equally as big. The staff did a great job though, it would do my head in managing all those people.
My exact thoughts! I don't know if the whole waiting and only 5 mins of gameplay time made me hate the game more, but it certainly feels like I wasted valuable time queueing for this.
I feel sorry for those who queued for Skyrim/Prey2 though, all they got was a presentation - no gameplay! :rolleyes:
Wish I'd have queued for Batman not Rage now
