Well I'm back and I have to say that the show was quite pants from a gamers
perspective.

My 'highlights' were:

- Seeing the GameCube:  It's VERY small. I really want one of the versions
thay had at the show with it's little USA/JAP region switch on the side.

- Seeing a transparent Xbox through the Kalisto window. Isn't it supposed to
be out in 2 months, how come nothing was shown? It's VERY big, about the
size of 6 gamecubes.

- Playing AirBlade (PS2).

- The video for burNout (PS2).

- Watching a collegue being led about by two ladies ("I give good head"
stamped on their Tshirts) trying to find the Digimask stand, and they were
supposed to be working for digimask. We knew where it was but we wern't
going to tell them :)

It was nice to run into John (quietbloke) Wojcik and a shame we didn't have
a longer chat and couldn't arrange a drink or anything in the evening, which
would have been infinitely preferable to spending 5 hours on the train. I
have to say though John when you asked if we "wrote crappy yaroze games" we
all seriously considered denying it :)
