Saturday's cosplays: Trainer Red and Rival Blue from Pokemon
Sunday's cosplays: Altair Ibn La-Ahad and Malik Al-Sayf from Assassin's Creed
So what did I play? More like what did I want to play but couldn't because of the extortionate ques. I was all decked out in my Altair cosplay, ready to play Assassin's Creed 3 but there was a two hour waiting line...So no, I didn't get to play the game I am most excited about but I guess this just means I have something to look forward to for when it comes out right? Wrong. Assassin's Creed 3 came this week and I figured out that if I bought the special edition (which is the one I want!) I'll be living off -£30. So not the best of ideas, looks like I'll have to wait till Christmas to play this gorgeous game.
It looks amazing, right? And this is just a poster!
Eurogamer wasn't all disappointment. Not in the slightest. No, most of Eurogamer was absolutely amazing! I got to spend the Saturday with my best friend in our Pokemon Trainer Red and Pokemon Rival Blue cosplays along with our other friend who cosplayed Professor Layton and on Sunday got to meet up with a lot of old college and childhood friends as well as cosplaying ones which was nice. And we got to play a lot of the latest games which gave me a greater insight of what's going on in the industry at the moment! So, what did I play?
Formula 1 Race Stars
So remember I went to a Codemasters concept art talk a few weeks ago? Well I actually got to play the Formula 1 Race Stars game at Eurogamer so it was a real privilege to meet some of the people behind the game after playing it myself. It was a very interesting game and a good laugh. I can see what Mitch Small was saying about it being similar to Mario Kart though because of all the bright colours and just the general way the characters looked. I had a laugh playing it though. Especially when my car broke down right before the finish line because I didn't realise you had to go into pit stops. Yeah, so it's not EXACTLY like Mario Kart then. But still fun nevertheless, and so colourful!
Assassin's Creed Liberation
Playing this dressed as Altair and Malik was probably the best thing about this game hehe. I'm a die hard Assassin's Creed fan and have been for a while now (what, you couldn't tell from the fact I was patrolling around as Altair Ibn La-Ahad?) so Liberation is a new AC game on the PSP. Well my PSP doesn't work so I can't buy it but it was nice to try it out. The best part about this game was that it started off with you having to canoe across a river and then fight crocodiles. It was amusing to watch Malik canoe backwards and then give up and just swim across instead. Now this AC seems to be set in some sort of swamp area (hence crocodiles) so it was a very different approach to AC! Looks interesting, I'd like to play it properly one day but unfortunately can't right now due to the lack of a PSP.

Just Dance 4
Just Dance is a favourite past time of mine. Ever since me and Siti cosplayed Howard Wolowitz and Leonard Hofstadter from The Big Bang Theory and danced to 'Beautiful Liar' by Shakira and Beyonce and my wig flew off mid-dance. That was a glorious day. We even caught it on film! But yes playing the latest Just Dance game was amazing as always. I will never not tire of it. It's just so much fun, the whole idea of dancing in cosplays to really silly dances is right up my alley!

Dance Central 3
Rival Blue and Professor Layton dance it out
So honestly I didn't even know there was a Dance Central 1 and 2. But there you go. This was a lot like Just Dance, it was dancing. But that's ok because I love it! It was a bit more hard to control compared to Just Dance and the camera couldn't pick up a few colours of clothing which was annoying (I had to take my jacket off and it became oblivious as to who I was cosplaying) so yes, I still prefer Just Dance, but dancing is awesome anyway so I was happy to give Dance Central 3 a try!
Playstation All Stars Battle Royale
Rival Blue and Trainer Red team up
This was probably my favourite game to play, most likely because of the mix of all these characters I love all in one game! I managed to beat a bunch of people as Jak and Daxter. That was a glorious feat! So this is a fighting game where you can play with up to four players. It was so much fun (It's better than I make it sound, I promise!). I never really like fighting games but this was an exception as I got to play as so many characters I love like Ratchet and Clank and Cole from UnFamous (I mean inFamous). Definitely would recommend buying this game!
Old School Mario Kart
Red and Layton play some old school goodness
A Garrus t-shirt? Yes!
So we got to play a really really old school Mario Kart game. The graphics were hilarious. Oh how far we've come in gaming! Well I didn't get to play but I watched Siti and Aiden play it and the controls looked incredibly difficult! I'm glad we've figured out easier controls since the first games.
So this was my time at Eurogamer. Among the playing old and new games, meeting many awesome people and cosplaying with my friends, it was one of the most enjoyable weekends I've had in a while! Can't wait for next years Eurogamer, Garrus cosplay, here I come! Oh and I couldn't leave without picking up some goodies could I?
And Mordin and Thane figures? Double yes!
