back from e3

ok that was fun, and exhausting! had a great time giving the Hells Highway demo to lots of VIPs. even got to show it to Robin Williams who turned out to be a pretty hardcore fan! by the end of the show i was pretty wiped and i never did get to see the "wii" in action as there was an eternal 3 hour long line to see the games. standouts that i did get to check out were, Assassins Creed, Gears of War, Spore, and the Crysis engine.

sadly we didn't see Spielberg this year, would have been cool to have him drop by again. :/

had a blast hanging out with James Golding and the rest of the epic gang. Epic is sorta like Gearboxes older brother, yknow the kind of big brother who tackles you from behind and gives you a wedgie when you least expect it and every now and then beats some guy up just for looking at you funny. good mates those epic blokes.

also James looks like harry potter but since there's no pictures of him up on the web you'll just have to trust me on that.

cheers.

up up and away!

Well, the demo is in the bag and we are off to E3. I'm really excited to give everyone a chance to see what Brothers in Arms - Hells Highway has become. There has been a lot of excitement and debate about the screenshots and teaser footage that have been released so far but I think people will be surprised when they see the realtime demo we have in store!

It's wierd because after nearly 13 years(?!?) in the games industry I have never been to E3. It'll be neat to see the fan reaction to what we have been working so hard on for the past year. Here's hoping people dig it...

See you all there. I'll update from the floor if I get a chance.
