Mr. G at GDC!!!!!!

Day 4
Another great day at GDC!  AI trained car from Amazon, Pacman, lots of alternate control games, Play Station, XBox, Haptic Suit, Electronic Sensory Rig, Giant PacMan, and Game from the world.  How many countries can you find at GDC?

Day 3 at GDC
For the first 2 days, I have been attending very interesting sessions and playing games.  Today, the EXPO opened.  That is where all the big & small companies show off their new products and are there to talk to people about it.  It was crazy fun to see all the new games and gaming technology available.  Check it out!

Here is MegaCity by Unity.  They made this short trailer to demonstrate the power of their game design engine.
