Thought I might just add some closing comments about today’s event. I thought that the event was great and helped me gain some valuable experience as well as helped me promote the site more to a wider audience. Plus I got some hands on time with FIFA 09 sweet!

I’d like to extend a thankyou to all of the event organisers and exhibitors. Especially Mark Tillbrook who gave me the chance to cover my first event and Greg Baker who let me interview him about FIFA 09 (details tomorrow).

I am going back for the next Multiplay event in October and hopefully it’ll be bigger and better than this one.

Remember, all of the impressions from the show will be going up tomorrow as well as the 1st of the competitions so until then, cya.

Just checking in and providing a little update. The show is slowly coming to an end and everyone is packing up and leaving. It might sound like it’s a bit dismal but in fact, it’s the complete opposite. Everyone is getting rid of stuff they don’t need, which means i’ve got more swag to give away. Some of it is pretty cheap and useless but some of the stuff is competition worthy.

Of couse i’ll be keeping a percentage of the stuff i’ve collected but the majority is gonna be available to you guys. I said before that i’d be running a series of competitions and I will, they will be starting tomorrow and running until next Tuesday so there’s plenty of time to enter.

Overall the show’s been great. There’s tons to do and see here and was well worth the drive down. One thing I will say though is, if you’re only here to see games and not compete in the gaming events you’ll easily get round in one day. I also suggest that you try and get there on day one to get the most freebies.

This is my last update from the festival but my coverage will be going up over the next few days. I’ve got my impressions on FIFA 09, Mercenaries 2, Spore (what? a PC game) and Tiger Woods 09 as well as a photo gallery which should be going up over the next few days.



I’m At M Festival

This is me reporting live from M Festival. I’m currently sat up in the press gallery enjoying the ‘hospitality’ and thought i’d just send a hello from the event.

I have had my long awaited hands-on with FIFA 09 and spoke to one of the guys at EA about the game. Greg…something his name was. I’ll get the details later.

I’ve still got one hell of a show to cover. I’ll be getting my hands on with EA’s ‘Mercenaries 2: World In Flames’ and ‘Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2009′. I’ll also be bringing you the rest of the stuff that’s at the show and commenting accordingly.

As for swag. I’ve got a ton and yes it’ll be given away to lucky readers in a series of competitions.

Well, thats bye from me (for now) but i’ll be back later with some more updates, some images from the show and hopefully some more swag.

Cya!
