PanteraCFH and GraphicX from GGANZ are attending this year's EB Expo, courtesy of EB Games who have generously provided us with not one, but two full day passes! … And for not one, but two days!
They’ll travel for almost 3 hours by car from their village nestled at the base of the Southern Flinders Ranges in South Australia to Australia’s largest country town (aka. Adelaide), where They’ll fly directly to Sydney. Once there, they have booked to stay in one of Sydney’s most attractive hotel destinations which comes complete with running water, both hot & cold (it’s attractive as it’s cheap, ok).
Of course, traveling hours & hundreds of kilometres to stay in a cheap hotel isn’t what this is about, it’s about the expo & the GAMES !!! Games which EB have promised will not only be numerous, but also accessible to us to play first hand =)
Toting custom made t-shirts (GraphicX will be sporting a ‘Nuka Cola’ shirt & Pantera will have a shirt about some game nobody under the age of 38 has heard of, the ‘dinosaur’ looks like a duck made of lego), they will be getting right into any game they can get their hands on. Of course they both have some specific titles that they’ll be targeting, not only out of their own selfishness, but also as requested by you guys here on GGANZ.
Within that list you’ll find gaming royalty in the form of:
- Far Cry 4
- Assassin’s Creed: Unity
- Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor (which releases literally the following week, but who cares, GraphicX may even play it so long at the Expo that’ll he’ll finish it)
- Battlefield Hardline
- Forza Horizon 2
- Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel!
- Project Cars
- The Witcher 3
- Driveclub
And of course many more, many officially announced to be at the Expo, but there are still many they’re expecting/hoping to see (ie. Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare).
It’s no doubt that they’re both looking forward the most to the games & actually playing them. Two days seems like a long time to have to tackle this but they really don’t think they’ll be able to cover all that they want. There’ll of course be a TON of walking to do, taking notes/pictures for the follow up articles here on GGANZ (which they’re hoping they can bring some to you each night or even as it happens), eating of food (you want them to keep up their strength right ?), fighting robots to watch (lol, this is no joke, there will be REAL robots fighting one another as fighting humans would go against one of Isaac Asmoth’s Three Laws of Robotics), time with vendors & developers & maybe even some sight seeing.
For now stay tuned. We’re still over a month away from EB Expo which will be held at the Syndey Showgrounds, Olympic Park from 3rd to 5th October. Tickets are still available but many levels of access are already sold out, so visit your local EB Games or www.ebexpo.com.au to purchase yours before you miss out.
