Inside Hong Kong’s Asian Game Show X Online Game Show

The happiest-to-receive Christmas gift to Hong Kong gamers.

Even though we’ve passed Christmas, we’re still unwrapping more photos and coverage from the annual Asian Game Show X Online Game Show (December 24-26).

At the yearly event, tens of thousands of local gamers descend upon the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre to play and buy games. Due to last year’s poor attendance, AGS organizers decided to team up with the Online Game Show in the hope that more people would be drawn to the double bill event.

Canto Pop idol and spokesmodel for the event, Joey Yung (容祖兒), was on hand at the AGS X OGS to start proceedings, in what looked like a cyber samurai outfit! Weilding a katanna, Joey posed for the paparrazi while screaming fans swooned behind the metal barricades.

Sony rolled out a few models of their own to add to the festivities:

As usual, Sony dominated the hall by roughly taking up nearly a quarter of the convention space, with numerous console stations for gamers to try out new and soon-to-be-released video games. The Sony area was separated into a number of booths that included a MTR PSPgo booth, Gran Tourismo 5 area, 18+ games room and a Winning Eleven Football area.

The industry giant also put on a number of shows and competitions that drew huge crowds to its main stage, where gamers got to watch game producer interviews along with the Asian Tekken 6 championship finals and Winning Eleven competitions.

Their horde of Playstation Game girls, like the sirens of Greek mythology, lured plenty of gamers to the shores of Sony’s booths; however, the online gaming companies weren’t going to be outdone by Sony and, flashing a lot of leg and cleavage, the online gaming girls lured their own crowds of gamers and amateur/wannabe “gravure” photographers to their booths! Dressed in various seductive outfits from Miss Santa to Naughty School Girl to a World of Warcraft sorceress, there was definitely plenty to see and little needed to be left to the imagination.

This is only the tip of the iceberg for this show, so come back this week to see more stories and yummy photos from the Asian Game Show X Online Game Show.
