Yesterday, myself and my boyfriend went to the EGX gaming convention in Birmingham NEC.
Bit of a spur of the moment, as we only booked the tickets Monday! (Luckily they had some left). Thought it would be a nice treat for Alex's birthday, seeing as gaming is his passion, and I would enjoy it too!
We went up on the train to go in for 11am.
There wasn't too much queueing as it was one of the more quieter days to go.
On the other hand, the queues to play the games were another story. The popular games, you were looking at a 2 hour wait until you could go in!
We decided to look around the stalls before deciding which game to queue for. The whole venue was lowly lit, which gave it a really cool feel!
The main game I wanted to play was Rise of the Tomb Raider, which we did queue for an hour and actually got to play.
We had about 30 minutes of game play which we really enjoyed, and I can't wait until it comes out on PS4.
We had a look what else there was but all the games we wanted to play had super long queues, so Alex decided to play Uncharted for a bit.
We had a few more pictures taken with some really awesome sceneries and prop replicas from games, I personally love the motor bike, from Metal Gear Solid!
I ended up buying a couple of Hoodies and game inspired scented candles, and a limited edition print.

It was such an amazing day and I wish we had been there all 4 days just so we could have had more time to play the games we wanted.
But it was great and I can't wait for next year!
Xoxo
