The Indies Have Arrived
The Indie Zone is back again and as always will be a popular area to get hands on with new and upcoming indie game titles. The cool thing about this part of the expo is that you are able to talk to the people who designed and developed the games.
There will also be more cosplay from Dark Cleo Productions and the masquerade will be on each day which will showcase the public's talent and passion for all things cosplay.
The Arcades
The thing I love most about PLAY is the extensive collection of free play arcade cabinets and pinball machines and hundreds of retro consoles, computers and handhelds that I get to play all weekend. I just can't wait to get my mitts on some of these beauties.
As always gamers looking to spend cash on cool merchandise can head to the trading hall which will be full of video games, apparel and memorabilia vendors!
