In the centre of the Earls Court exhibition hall, surrounded by a sea of wide-screen plasma TV’s, interactive violence and scantily clad booth babes, the stand for Special Effect was easily one of the most subdued displays at Eurogamer Expo 2012. It wasn’t advertising a brand, trying to sell a product or holding a competition, and yet it often drew crowds as big as any game at the show.
