AFA 08
 

I have just gone to the press briefing of AFA 08 in Singapore at the Sun-Tec centre. And introduced us to the stars of the show.

AFA means the Anime Festival Asia, and is the first annual event in South East Asia. Which is looking at Japanese Pop Culture, from Animation, Games, Toys, Manga and lots of other great things from the culture life styles from Japan. This is a family event, and expected to have a great turnout.

On the 10th of October 2008 I was invited to a early preview of Red Alert 3, the new RTS (Real Time Strategy) from EA. 

This is part of the Command and Conquer series, started by Westwood Games. The first Red Alert was released to the Public in 1996, and had the Russians vs. the Allies, fighting for space and ore. Had an expansion pack, The Covert Operations, later in the year, that upped the level of difficulty. I played these games, and enjoyed them immensely, and became a fan then. 

In the last of Suffur's interviews from Game Convention Asia, Martin Frain, Marketing Director for Dice and part of E.A. chats about upcoming titles and long haul flights. The interview was not recorded so the answers are taken from notes and are not direct quotes. We would like to take this opportunity to invite Martin Frain to let us know about any misquotes so we can make any corrections.

As promised here is Suffur’s interview with Tom Farrer, the producer of Mirror's Edge, also a Producer at Dice who made Mirror's Edge which is distributed by E.A. Games. The interview was not recorded so the answers are taken from notes and are not direct quotes. We would like to take this opportunity to invite Tom Farrer to let us know about any misquotes so we can make any corrections.

Suffur has been to the GCA as a roving reporter for BurnoutAholics.com, this is the first of his series of interviews from the convention. This interview is with John Doyle Producer for NFS: Undercover. Black Box is the company making this game and it is distributed by EA Games. The interview was not recorded so the answers are taken from notes and are not direct quotes. We would like to take this opportunity to invite John Doyle to let us know about any misquotes so we can make any corrections.
