Usually you get to try different games, they hold tournaments etc. This year I felt like most of the fair was dedicated to the comics though, I realised today I didn't even see any Nintendo games!! I was acctually very disappointed, leaving the event with only having tried the demo of the new Dragon Quest game.
I mean sure, it's not Tokyo game show but I expect to see a big variation of games...and A LOT of games not a bit less than half of the area with the most popular titles like Mirror's edge... I was acctually hoping to see a demo or at least a commercial for the newest Final Fantasy game.
Overall I did enjoy my visit, but I'm giving my friend credit for that :P
I always enjoy watching people who cosplay though and I found some pretty good Final Fantasy cosplays! (I was drawn like a moth to flames to Vincent Valentine <3) Something that really impresses me is the ability to make weapons... how do you even make that...
