Yesterday I went to Paris with 4 journalists for the presentation of StarCraft Ghost by Bill Roper from Blizzard. Needless to say ... the presentation was excellent, Bill Roper gave so much intersting information. I never saw any journalist take so many notes as yesterday.
The organisation by VU Games was excellent and I'm sure that the feedback from the press will be excellent even while this is just a Work in Progress item.
In a couple of weeks Bill Roper is coming back to Europe for the presentation of WarCraft III expansion The Frozen Throne and for World of WarCraft ... back to Paris :-)

Last week I went to Normandy with some Benelux journalists for the presentation of the PC game Commandos 3 > WOW! The game looked great and the entire concept of the press trip was very nice. Everything was setup in the Chateau de Audrieu (www.chateaudaudrieu.com) and at our arrival on Wednesday the music, papers and calendars were all adapted as if it were the 5th of June 1944, the day before the assault by the allied troops in order to free Europe. Next morning (virtually 6th of June 1944) we heard the BBC news on the radio, had the game presentation and in the afternoon we went to see the beaches were the heavy fighting took place in 1944 > it was all quite impressive.
Oh yeah and before I forget > the food in Chateau de Audrieu was so good, I would have expatriated myself gastronomically if I could ;-) no wonder the Germans invaded France ;-)
