Man I love NY.
No other place would have made getting there half the fun. Little Italy + Chinatown + Games + Nerds = Geektastic. I'm fairly sure that's the equation.
First off, everyone at
Gaia Industries was incredibly accomodating. They opened up their workshop to let us play hours of
Street Trace while serving us some of the best pizza from Little Italy that I've ever had.
I didn't know anything about this Arcade title before I got their, but once I learned that you're a hoverboard rider with a gun, I was pretty much sold. The game has 7 different modes (4 arena modes like CTF & Chaos and 3 different racing modes). 8 players over Xbox Live or Local Multiplayer Splitscreen for 2-4 players. I was impressed, it's a fun game to play, and pretty easy to pick up.
No release date yet, although one of the devs said that Microsoft was announcing the release dates for 10 more arcade titles on Tuesday, and they hope that theirs is one of them.
I threw some pics up of the event for anyone interested.
