Ahh, the GDC event. W hat more can be enthralling for game lovers than be surrounded with top of the line consoles, playing previews of their favorite games, hearing the words of the bigwigs in the gaming industry, and may even be hired by a the company of your dreams? Yep, that’s the Game Developers Company for you and it all happened on February 18-22 at the Moscone Center, San Francisco.

Many caught our eye during our visit there and we don’t even know where to start. But yeah, we have to start somewhere so take a look at what the entertainments giants have to offer. Check out particularly the flight simulator as we all wished we had something like this at home.

And of course, would the 3 companies competing for ultimate entertainment supremacy be left out? We saw testing stations for the PSP, DS, WII, Xbox 360 and PlayStaion 3. We also got a look at the upcoming Wii fit for the US market. Check out these pics:

(Patapon and God of War: Chains of Olympus are impressive titles for the PSP. And those two are reasons enough why you’d want a handheld in your life)
However, consoles and games aren’t the only things GDC offered in the event. There are also companies that offer enhancement to gaming like graphics company S3

This year’s GDC was an awesome event! Some of the best technology yet to come has been displayed here. Based on what was shown, video gaming has a bright future ahead. That flight sim and racing rig are still stuck on my head. They would make good additions to my living room.
