The third edition of GameStart has concluded, bringing an end to three days of fun and exciting gaming activities.

GameStart 2016: Indie Games Feature

GameStart 2016 has begun! Day 1 is the best time to check out the games and that's exactly what I did. While most went for the mainstream ones, I decided to go check out some of the Indie games.

GameStart 2016 Game Feature: Slashy Hero by The Gentlebros

Slashy Hero is an isometric dungeon crawler game developed by The Gentlebros, a Singapore based company. The game was actually released last year in October and it is coming up on its First Anniversary. I only got to know of the game during the GameStart 2016 Press Conference last week. Intrigued, I downloaded it and I've been enjoying it so far.

Street Fighter V Launch Event (Singapore)

The Street Fighter V Launch Event was held at Le Danz yesterday. It was a ticketed event and you had to have ordered the game from one of the authorized dealers to get a ticket. I did just that and dropped by for a look.

GameStart 2015: Weekend Recap

Gamestart 2015 has concluded. The event saw a fantastic turnout over the weekend. I'm not sure of the numbers but I think at least a thousand were in queue Saturday morning before the event start time. According to social media, quite a number even queued overnight. Unsurprising considering last year's events.

There will also be meet-the-producer sessions, show matches, eSports tournaments, cosplay runway showcase, exclusive promotions and more!

GameStart 2014

The first ever GameStart was held from 25-26 October 2014 at the Suntec Convention Centre. It's a gaming convention showcasing the latest upcoming games. Exhibitors for the inaugural event include Sony, Bandai Namco and Blizzard to name a few. We in Singapore have not had such an event in a long time. I don't play much games these days but I was interested in what the event had to offer.
