Game conventions are good. They increase the demand for games and thus, help the games industry in Singapore. Good job.
Recently, I went to GC Asia with my friends last Sunday. Not bad arh, there are girls in miniskirts, girls with exposed belly, models walking around the exhibition.....and games. They are
very distracting, really.....
You hold the Xbox 360 controller playing a demo of Guitar Heroes. You pressed the right shoulder buttons as an array of colored blips appear on screen. Sweat accumulate in your hands, the Xbox controller is getting slippery, when suddenly, a pretty and hot model walk pass and you lose concentration. Your hands released the controller, it fell and broke. The model walk up to you and say:-
"You very stupid."

Alright, out of point. Asiasoft AKA Maplestory creator was there. Once again, they are advertising a very boring game. It features childish characters running around a 2D map filled with mushrooms and monkeys. The name of the game is Maplestory. At this one time,thousands of people are wasting their time and money playing this game.
Walking around the exhibitions, I saw this group of males staring at the computer. There was also a commentator commentating with nonsensical words such as:-
1) Fire dragon
2) Dota
3) Chimaera
4) Warcraft rocks!
Guess? Yup, its Warcraft 3: Frozen Throne. They were playing Defense of the Ancients(Dota)on the Warcraft platform. I can give you three games that are better than this game:-
1) Dead or Alive: Extreme Beach Volleyball
2) Hello Kitty: Save Earth with rabbits
3) Hopscotch
Well, the convention was not bad. There were hot girls walking around. Who can resist?(this does not apply to girls, for more information, visit girlsrocks.com) I got to take a picture with one of the models(and my brother's shades), as in, advertisers for one of the exhibition called
"10tacle".

They were showing off many games that were not released in Singapore just yet. They are creating "delayed gratification". This is to let potential buyers oogle over the games until their saliva short circuit their computers. This is when they have to buy another computer.
