Ryan Joseph Hudson wrote to mention his impressions of the 2006 Taipei Game Show. The article on his LJ is full of photos of the event, and some fairly cynical commentary on what was offered by the exhibitors. From the article: "I don't know what I had in mind, walking in there. I thought I'd see some new games, I guess. And I did. Unfortunately, they were all in Chinese. Sony and Microsoft tried to make a showing. That didn't work. Local companies, Chinese companies, Korean companies, and this guy all stole their thunder. I should hasten to add that there was also a World of Warcraft display. This included a giant World of Warcraft Tour Bus and a giant inflatable orc. The orc was anatomically correct. Still all of these foreign companies made a weak showing. They weren't on their home turf and it showed."
