A Weekend at the London Eurogamer Expo 2012
So last weekend, 27th – 30th September 2012, was the London Eurogamer Expo 2012 and while i only decided to go for two days, the whole event was out in full force – with plenty of games on show, a variety of competitions and lots of exciting things to see – it was a busy weekend but a whole lot of fun.
Usually i’d try to explain everything i saw, did and met – but its just too much – so instead ive listed all of the photos i took as well as created a mini-video showcasing three of my favourite games at the event. Bring on Eurogamer Expo 2013!!
Retro: Japanese Time Crisis & Black G-Con 45 Bundle Unboxed
Many of my friends and followers, will already know that i am a big Time Crisis fan, everytime i see one of the games (or spin-offs) at an arcade i have to get my name up (if it isn’t there already). so when i discovered this rare gem on eBay several years ago i decided to purchase it.

Retro: Metal Gear Solid – Limited Edition Premium Package Unboxed
Over the course of the weekend i have been sorting out my cupboard, which of course sounds boring if it wasn’t the mysterious cupboard which contains all of my gaming related items in. Anyway while going through it i discovered i still owned the rather rare Metal Gear Solid – Limited Edition Premium Package for the Playstation / PSOne / PSX.
After closer inspection not only do i still ‘own’ the bundle, but all of the contents of the box are still sealed, thus making this a very rare piece of gaming equipment.
The Metal Gear Solid – Limited Edition Premium Package is basically what ‘we’ today call a ‘Special’ ‘Collectors’ ‘Legendary’ or ‘Epic’ Edition of a game,as not only is the game included but it comes with a host of a additional extras, some of which make recent ‘collector’ editions look pathetic.
