Game Convention~

So during the wonderful holiday known as Christmas there was a convention. Not just any convention. The Asia Game Show. The largest game convention on those side of the world!
I went with the wonderful leader known as Axel to see it.
It costs $25 to get in. A little pricey but we got it at the convention center so no discounts for us. Boohoo. As we walk in there's cosplay area at the far end and a stage nearby with booths littered here and there. We, by some magical chance, end up at the little anime shop there. I end blowing some of my money on a new Vongola ring and Axel gets...other stuff. Little card things. I get a Kuroshitsuji one. They also have a few Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts necklaces (eg: Xigbar's snipers and such) We go over to the Square Enix area and stare at stuff we know we won't buy (like that stuffed Moogle and all those posters) Axel drooled over Tidus, I did the same for Leon and Dante. (No Kingdom Hearts stuff! As usual.) We then move over to the gaming stations. Marvel v.s. Capcom 3 had two stations but constantly had people lining up for it. Phooey.
We went over to the PSP gaming station. Axel took a picture with a giant penguin from Prinny. We played and failed at Aqua in Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep Final Mix. Went around and played Dissidia 012. (Out March 3rd next year.) I had a blast. It's on definitely on my wish list now. We went on to the second platform and I tried to play The 3rd Birthday and failed miserably. I still want it regardless. For some horrifying reason they didn't have it. I guess that's what happens when you go on the last day.
We go back towards the cosplayers and I recognize about a dozen KHR cosplayers (yayyyyy), a few Naruto cosplayers (saw a very nice Kakashi), a couple Gintama cosplayers, the usual abundance of Mikus, Rins, Lens and Kaitos and few scatter Kuroshitsuji cosplayers. Took a few pictures and continue towards the autograph wall. Took a few more of some nice drawings and Gazette signature.
One of the main things being showcased was the PS Move.To be honest, it seems to work exactly like a Wii except the remote looks like some kind of light up microphone. Not too impressed. As we were browsing back at the gaming stations I hear a familiar noise and called out to Axel. We ran but had already missed the trailer for a Kingdom Hearts game. If we were lucky, it was just for Final Mix and nothing big like Re:Coded. We then watch a few trailers in 3D including the new Metal Gear Solid: Rising, FFXIII, Gran Turismo and the "relaunched" Devil May Cry.
All in all, it was a pretty decent convention, slightly small in size but there were two other larger conventions going on at the same time. I'm looking forward to some new games and a New Year. Can't wait.
