Well ECTS was every bit as good as I had hoped. Stunning games, great game play and other distractions a plenty.
Games I particularly enjoyed watching and playing were:
XIII from Ubisoft which won several accolades at the show. Cel shading, great gameplay well worth the money and on my list to purchase!
SWAT: Global Strike Team (saw this on the Xbox) - very good team based mission profile game
Metal Gear Solid Snake : Snake Eater from Konami was a very interesting demo and I look forward to that, although I hope it will be a bit more flexible in gameplay than MSG2.
Other things which are probably worth keeping an eye on are:
Half Life 2 (there were queues to see the demo so we didn't make it)
Nokia's n-gage looked really good. The games I saw were very impressive considering the size of the machines. My only slight concern would be the battery not holding out.
Vodafone Live! was also enjoyable more for the playing of retro games than anything else!
Anyway, well worth the visit.
