I had a fun time last night playing for Team Eurogamer in the MAG Tournament in central London. The most important part of the night was stuffing team IGN 2 games to 0 on MAG. However, our overall cockiness was to be short lived when it came to playing the developers Zipper Interactive. We got our asses well and truly kicked!

Although the overall event was well organised with a pretty awesome with 128 PS3s set-up in the shape of 256 (256 players per game!), I couldn’t hear a damn thing through my headset, making team orders redundant. So I just tried to kill everything. This worked well until we played the developers, who blatantly cheated by using tactics. Rubbish.

The night was nicely finished off with a free copy of the MAG collectors edition. Unfortunately, I can’t play it until the 29th Jan as the game servers aren’t live yet!

The game itself it was fun. I especially like the 256 player battles. They were just mayhem and the game maps were massive too. I recommend checking this game out later on this month. Now for some pictures from the event.
