HollyKing's Journal

This past weekend hollyqueen and I attended Penny Arcade Expo (PAX). I had a pretty good time and I’ve already blocked out a room at the Camlin for the next one. For me one of the greatest parts of the event was getting some hands-on time with upcoming games and chatting with some of the developers.

I was able to spend some quality time talking to the people behind The Goblin Game, EVE Online and Pirates of the Burning Sea. Because of that quality time I am very interested in all three of these games that had only been on the edge of my thoughts. I also was able to eliminate a few games I thought I wanted from my wishlist as they didn’t turn out to be all that. The big example of that is The Eye of Judgment. I had fun playing but the game requires too much equipment and card collecting for me to really enjoy it.

I have also selected my big wish for my birthday this year. I have been wanting a new console for a while but I wasn’t sure if I wanted to stick with Sony and the PS3 or make the move to Microsoft’s X-Box. After my hands on experience this weekend the X-Box 360 Elite is the winner.

Oh, Rock Band was just as hot in person as it looks in the videos and reviews. I’m so going to get that game!
