EGX Rezzed - Day 2: Awesome games are awesome

EGX Rezzed, day two. What did it have in store?

Roll7's new game, Not A Hero. It's a great 2 1/4D game that introduces typical third person mechanics such as reloading and covering behind objects to a 2D perspective with excellent results.



But it's not all video games here at EGX Rezzed. I'm currently sat on the floor with my back rested against the Leftfield Collection watching a group of people playing pinball. 



The Twitch booth, which is bang centre of the floor has been constantly busy throughout the day. Currently they have yogscast youtubers playing Goat Simulator, much to everyone's amusement.

And when you throw in Fez on the PlayStation 4, Super Exploding Zoo and Worms Battlegrounds, I've seen some excellent stuff today.

Here's some more images from the day:

EGX Rezzed - Day 1: impressions from the show floor

I'm currently sat in the board games area after a long but productive day at Rezzed, enjoying a spot of people watching, digesting all of the games and developer sessions I've seen at EGX Rezzed today. 

The Leftfield Collection in particular has some amazing games. If you're going this weekend, it's definitely worth a look. My personal favourite is forma.8, a particularly beautiful game that's coming to all platforms bar Xbox one. 

You should also check out Team 17's new game Flockers. It reminds of all the best things about Lemmings, a particular childhood favourite of mine.

The general vibe I get from the conference is a great feeling of comradely and embracing the enjoyment of video games. 

Speaking of new games, if you haven't heard already, I'm working on a new game of my own, which 'll be showing at Rezzed after hours if anyone is interested (if so, just grab me at the bar!)

It's Space Fleet, a turn based strategy game, coming soon to iPad. For more on that you can check out http://Ralabaloza.co.uk

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to finish my text adventure for the BBC Micro...
