Providing buzz to the run-up to WCG Singapore 2008, AsiaSoft held the first ever AsiaSoft GameFest 2008 over the weekend from 1st – 3rd August. There was something for every gamer young and old in this inaugural gaming festival.
During the 3 days event, members of the public were able to try out new and exciting AsiaSoft games in the demo booths, watched the action heat up in the competitions, have fun with the fringe activities and take home exclusive AsiaSoft GameFest freebies!
I was there on the third day to watch gamers pit their online gaming skills in the exciting Monster Carnival Showdown and slug it out for honour in Rise of the Champions battle. It was indeed a great celebration of games and gaming in this very colorful Game Fest. Watch the short video which I put together of this event.
Three years after the successful hosting of the World Cyber Games in 2005, Singapore will be hosting the World Cyber Games Asian Championship this year.
The WCG Singapore 2008, which is scheduled to take place from 7th to 10th of August, at the Suntec Singapore International Convention and Exhibition Centre, will see local gamers battling on the first 2 days for the rights to represent Singapore. The Asian Championship will take place on the 9th and 10th of August will see elite gamers from 14 different countries across Asia battling each other.
Stay tune as I’ll be covering the event to bring you the sights and sounds of the relentless online actions and the very popular and colorful Cosplay competition.

The first-ever Singapore Toy & Comic Convention was held over the weekend (27-29 June 2008). This inaugural event – a platform made by fans for fans – featured a host of toys (general and designer), comics, animation, gaming, design, licensing and Cosplay from creative minds from all over the world, serving up an eye-popping visual feast and unprecedented variety and innovation in all the closely-related industries.
As I had so thoroughly enjoyed myself last year in the Games Convention Asia 2007, I just cannot miss this mouth-watering event with universal appeal of pop-culture and to celebrate with fellow fans our passion for toys, comics, animation, game.
Exhibitors I saw included global players like Hasbro, Ban Dai, LEGO, Animax, DC Comics, and home-grown brands like Dollz Inc and Play Imaginative, to name a few. Join me as I journeyed through this fun-filled event that promised to bring out the best East and West have to offer.

Take a video tour of the event and take in the sights and the sounds.
This video shows a heck of an awesome exhibit any self-respecting Star Wars fans should not miss!
If you think a little too much of a certain kind of distraction was the bane of my blog posting frequency, wait till I laid my hands on this freaking awesome NES coffee table! Yes, it’s really playable.
Short of being the world’s largest NES controller, it is in fact very impressive on its own. I could do with one of this totally!
