Games Convention Asia (GCA)

Just last Saturday, 20th Sep, the Games Convention Asia (GCA) was held at Suntec Convention Hall. Many many games were displayed there, from the popular to the soon-to-be-released, from big huge companies to small private organisations. There was just no end to the games as well as their consoles. Terminals and consoles were packed with the young and the young at heart, and several mascots roamed the hall.

TP's GET even had their own booth, showcasing games that the students had developed!

Well, I never knew THAT many people were into cosplay(CosCon - Cosplay Contest): numerous groups of friends gathered in and out the convention hall, preparing their makeup and and image to portray their favourite characters in the games. Everyone had great fun with cosplay, posing for photos and taking pictures. =)(Nice Photos at CosCon - Here and Here and Here)


But the main highlight of the convention had to be the competition of a number of games. Amongst these games, one of them, DotA, had 2 team finalists compete with each other, with their match flashed on a great big projector screen for all spectators to see. The battle was intense; both sides put up a good fight. It was a pity I couldn't stay to watch the match end.

So much for the wordy paragraphs, we'll let the pictures do the talking:

More nice photos that we took
