Went to Skoar today. No Wii, no Ps2, only Dual Cores and Xbox 360 - EVERYWHERE!

Plenty of X360 Kiosks, competitions. These were the games they had running :

Dead Rising
Need For Speed Carbon - Attracted a lot of crowd
Gears Of War - Also attracted a lot of crowd.
Rockstar's Table Tennis - People, including myself, were surprised how good this game actually is!
NBA Live 2k7
Fight Night Round 3 - Looked amazing. Like an animated real match being played on the Samsung LCD TV.
Project Gotham Racing 3
Dead Or Alive

Then there was Reliance Counter Strike championship being held. It was a good watch. Airtel ISP, Nvidia, S.A.G.E, BenQ, Yahoo.co.in and some others had set up their stalls to promote their stuff. On of the PC's in some stall had World Of Warcraft running online.
It was big, crowded, and filled with PC's and Xbox's everywhere you looked.

This can easily go on to become India's version of E3, if they bring over other consoles with more variety of games next year.

Shot some videos and pics with my N70

After all this hyping up X360, I think Sony might need to run their advertisements in India when Ps3 launches for PAL regions. They had some sort of offer running today in the expo. X360 Core was being sold at Rs.1000 Discount + 2 free games + free 64mb mmc (really! I think a price cut is on the horizon). Plus also there were posters on ICIC's sceme on X360 (Rs. 800 p/m thing). They've swayed a good number of people on X360's side of the fence today.
This is the first time a gaming expo has been held in India, I think.

Tomorrow is the last day though, those thinking of visiting.

Hey param.. Skoar 05 was held here at BKC mumbai. dono if many of u visited.. but i was the 1st person to complete 1st in Most wanted cause i completed that game 2nd week of nov.. :P and i won prizes though .. but was nice experience playing on SLi Geforce 6800Ultra (i guess) was big 70" projector.. and rest small kiosks was playing games on FX series card which sucked.. also had CS & Road Rash oldies. lol was a nOOb exibition for me at that time
 
Well, what params gave is all the goody good side, here is the bad side

Skoar was promoted as having, reliance tourney finals as well as a pro gamer tournament with games as quake4, NFS carbon, UT etc, when enquired about the tournament the reply was that there is none. Secondly, all there was was Xbox 360, sure there were PC's at other stalls also, but the games runnig on them were, quake 3, CS, and WOW,

No AC, it was hot as hell,

Oh btw, fanatics came to Skoar, yes they did, poor guys sweated out so much, had a match against A.T.E clan, currently India's top CS clan, although A.T.E won the first half and lead the match by 8 -7, i realised only after going over to the fanatics side of the setup, that they didnt had space to keep their gaming keyboard, the table were so small, hell even their mousepads[mantis and everglides] were hanging half down the table.

Once fanatic team got used to this in the first half, they ravaged A.T.E in the second half, winning 7 straight rounds and finishing the last round by knifing the last man alive.
Perfect ownage..!!
 
i think skoar was previously held in mumbai and banglore too, and sounds are that those were better then this, well talking about XBOX 360 in an exhibition, i went to some tourney in modern school last month and even they had 3 XBOX 260 consoles running there to attract kida there so, don't make it a big thing, as icefusion said it had lots of negative points, but atleast something like this happenned , thanks to the organisers for beinging it in delhi and hope more things like this happen and in better way :)
 
Yeah, its a start. If India brings in good sales for X360, Sony and Nintendo will notice it too. And if they officialy endorse and advertise their consoles in India we could have a much better Skoar next year.
 
I went there too 2day. The worst part was that there was no AC:@:@:@

Saw the Fanatic guyz too... They were waiting for their turn to play. They looked quite bored sitting on those dumb chairs with their Bose Quite Comfort headphones on.

Also saw most of the CS clan guyz which i had seen online when they had won some tournaments. One was sitting at the V-Street stall.

Played a bit of Table Tennis & Gears of War on the XBOX 360. I didn't enjoy Gears of War as it was being played in split screen mode.

Also checked out the Samsung stall, they were selling Creative Zen Vision M (30 GB) for Rs. 17000 LOL!!! The chicks at the stall were hot though:bleh: (bullshit, i wanted a digicam there badly!!!)

BenQ stall had BenQ LCDs but guess which game they were running? RoadRash!

I told the Sales guy that they were running the wrong game to promote their LCD.

Overall, it was a nice experience but i think the number of stalls being displayed were too small. But still it's a good start.
