While some attendees reported that GameSpot's innaugural G.A.M.E. was either lame, didn't have enough PSP titles, or that PSP systems were flat out missing, GameSpot heralded it as a great success. One coordinator went so far as to say, "I would say that all walked away from there thinking it was just a fantastic experience… They loved it."
The folks over at Smartbomb were there to promote their new book and had a different take on the event: "Still, no
matter how cynical one might be tempted to get as these manufactured, pay-to-play-mini-E3's-for-the-masses become
standard fare, there was no denying the gamers had fun…definitely more fun than the N-Gage displays, which so far have
been stridently ignored by all and sundry." That seems to sum it all up very nicely. We are tempted to be
cynical about these sorts of things, and the comments
on yesterday's post seem to confirm much of these suspicions, but apparently some people enjoyed themselves. Just not
the N-Gage fans. Or the Joystiq readers.
Still, there's pretty pictures! GameSpot has some too.
