OXCGN:
"Besides the usual awards you’d expect, we’ve decided we felt the need to acknowledge a variety of other unsung heroes and villains that featured over the expo.
Here are the second annual OXCGN EB Expo Awards:"
Gamebug recently went to EB expo. Here are their impressions.
Player 2 takes a look at some of the highlights from EB Expo 2016 including Driveclub VR and the retro area
Player 2 looks at the best, worst and weirdest of EB Expo 2016. What impressed and what disappointed?
Can't understand why Activision are so unfriendly toward the media at EB Expo.
It sure sends the signal that they are trying to prevent damaging reports before the game hits release.
Wow MOH Warfighter won game of the show. Wouldn't have expected that
God, that "Call me Maybe" on loud repeat would have killed me.
I was also initially barred from entering the Black Ops 2 booth with my media pass. I didn't understand the logic at all. On the 2nd day I flirted a bit with the girl at the front and she told me to line up with the "Express" card holders, but I still had to wait 15 minutes (which is OK I guess...)
My understanding is that Activision is more intent on getting actual CoD community feedback than media feedback, which is understandable considering how relentless some media can be towards the brand.
