Just under 2 months to go now until MCM, which this time is to last a whole 3 days instead of the usual weekend (attendance at Friday only open to weekend early entry ticket holders only, no general entrance tickets for Friday will be available). As ever MOREtotheGAME plan to be there to find out what holiday season 2010 holds for gaming. It’s early days at the moment but some of the titles that have already confirmed attendance at the expo include:
Another highlight of the London MCM Expo this summer, for me, was the appearance of developers Tecmo Koei, a Japanese studio responsible for some incredible titles, such as the Dead or Alive series, Ninja Gaiden and Dynasty Warriors. But it wasn’t any of these games they were demoing…
A familiar presence to regular visitors to MCM will be the DDR:UK stand, usually distinguishable by upbeat music and terrifyingly fast footwork. This expo we decided to go and check out their stand properly, having missed it last year. DDR:UK are a rhythm gaming community, and they take games and equipment to expos and conventions all over the place. They had some form of DDR, as was to be expected, Rock Band, Beatmania and Drummania all setup over the weekend.
Whilst MTTG stayed away from DDR (For good reason, you’ve not seen realistic breast physics ’till you’ve seen Daryl on DDR) we did try our hands at Beatmania IIDX, which is absolutely and utterly terrifying to play. For those not familiar with the title, I’ll just wait a minute for you to watch the following video. » Read more: [MCM] DDR:UK, TurtleStomp does Rock Band
After recently completing the first Mario Galaxy, I took full responsibility of playing it at the expo. Throughout both days there was a massive crowd around the game, implying it’ll be new and different to the previous game however after managing to play it at the last minute I found I could shorten this review to “more of the same” but that would make it seem like a bad thing, since it is still one of my favourite Mario games and so much has been improved.
First of the premise, which is the same as usual. Peach has yet again been captured by Bowser and you as the portly plumber have to go save her (I’d have given in by now and just let Bowser have her) by collecting stars from various levels (galaxies) and face several bosses along the way. So just like any other Mario game but that was to be expected. » Read more: [Wii] Super Mario Galaxy 2
Dragon Quest is a series of RPG games from the developing houses of Japan, Level-5 (developers of Professor Layton), to be precise. With its origins in the good ol’ days of the NES, Dragon Quest has grown to extraordinary levels of popularity in Japan itself, repeatedly breaking sales records, but has fallen short on Western shores. » Read more: [DS] Dragon Quest IX
