EA @ MFest: Saturday.
Today has been jam packed with action at M Fest, we have seen Apollo, Chrissy B and Stune win thier WCG matches to go through to represent the UK in the world finals, covered the exhibition hall with smiley face grenades and shown a live demo of Mirror's Edge™ to a packed audience.
First off Mirror's Edge.. We demo'd the two levels people have seen in the trailers on the video wall, there were gasps and laughs and a standing ovation (although to be fair, not many people were sitting down to begin with
).
Once this was over we saw the WCG Need for Speed: Pro Street final. Stune from London Mint took on Gunsmith with both racers using a Porsche 911.
Stune was using a standard pad while Gunsmith used a racing wheel, pedals, gearbox and manual clutch.
Stune went ahead in the first lap and kept that lead for the whole time, eventually winning the race by a large margin after 5 laps.
Next up Apollo, the current world champion, took on Stinezy at Command & Conquer™ 3 and eventually won the right to represent the UK.
In the final game it was an easy win for Apollo, he was the more experienced player and won the game within 8 minutes.
Finally we watched Chrissy B of London Mint take on Bazza of Birmingham Salvo, the current CGS World Champions.
Both players were using Barcelona, with Chrissy B using the home strip and Bazza using the blue away strip.
The game started well for Chrissy B, he caught Bazza on the break a couple of times and went 2-0 up in the first half.
In the second half Bazza dominated posession but still conceeded a third goal after Chrissy B broke down the left and tapped it into the box for the striker to score on the rebound.
On the stroke of 90 minutes Bazza got a concelation goal only to concede again in injury time to make the game 4-1 which is how it ended.
I'll be posting up interviews with the three final winners on the EA UK Homepage next week.
The last activity of the day was Play EA @ Fifa09 with the player who scores the most goals against Baker011 and Omni winning a Nintendo Wii and a selection of EA games.
The challenge continues today with the score to beat being 4-0 so if you are at MFest come along later to take part.
