Activision’s annual extravaganza has been and gone for this year, and the big news for Xbox’ers is a bunch of “definitely maybes”!
Every year or so, the big publishers put on their big shows, and invite media outlets big and small to attend the marketing festivities. So it was that Activision’s big to-do for 2006, Activate Asia, unleashed the unwashed hordes of the videogame press on the Shangri-La Hotel at The Rocks, Sydney. The results were predictably tragic: a dash of Activision-centric gaming; excessive consumption of finger-foods; drunken nerd arguments about Nintendo’s Wii; and the obligatory appearance of Imperial Stormtroopers. Subsequently followed, of course, by giggling manchildren clamouring for photographs, while proudly reciting such classic lines as “aren’t you a little short to be a Stormtrooper?”
