The Gathering Hall has welcomed its first Hunters, announced the The Gathering Hall Twitter account. See, look at at the happy, comfortable hunters.
It’s open to the public from 12pm tomorrow (3rd July 09). You can find all the details on my previous Gathering Hall post.
Here’s a shot of The Gathering Hall being made to look cool!
Don’t forget if you are going to The Gathering Hall you MUST have a UMD of Monster Hunter Freedom Unite and a PSP to play it on, otherwise you will be refused entry.

In what is probably a first for London, if not the UK, a dedicated Monster Hunter gaming centre – called The Gathering Hall – will open on the 3rd July 09 (from 12pm).
The Gathering Hall aims to be the ultimate destination for Monster Hunters. In it you will be able to meet other hunters, download exclusive quests, attend tutorial nights and meet the developers (when they are in the UK).
It will be open 7 days a week and free to enter if you have a PSP and a copy of Monster Hunter Freedom Unite. At the moment I don’t know how long it will open for, so take advantage while you can! Also The Gathering Hall has a Twitter account – http://twitter.com/GatheringHall.
The Gathering Hall can be found at: 121 Charing Cross Road, London (see below for the Google Streetview of the location).
Next weekend (23-24th May 09) the Movie Comic Media (MCM) Expo takes place in London’s Excel Exhibition centre. There’s a stack of stuff going on at the Expo for all comic and movie fans, even Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) is turning up. There is also a games village expo there (otherwise I probably wouldn’t be writing this post!) highlights of which are:
Looks like it could be worth a visit, especially if Ghostbusters is playable. Given that the game is due for release in a couple of months I don’t see why it should be by now! Also there should be some pretty amazing cosplayers at the show, given some of the pictures from last year’s event:
Capcom have announced that a 2 level playable demo (the best kind of demo!) will be available from the 26th Jan 09 only on Xbox LIVE. What’s good about this demo is that it also includes 3 levels of co-op play:
single-player with AI support
two-player split-screen on a single Xbox 360
two-player across Xbox LIVE (with voice chat)
Finally, Capcom has added 2 player support to Resident Evil. This is something I feel that should have been added a few games ago, but at least it is there now. And the game tinkering doesn’t even there. Now you get the choice of the “classic” Resident Evil controls (which were ok), or “action” controls inspired by Halo 3 (rubbish game) and Gears of War 2 (great game). Mmm.
For those of you who want even more of a Resi Evil fix you will also be able to watch the HD trailer for the game from the 16th Jan 09. The trailer was previously shown at the Tokyo Game Show, so don’t get to excited as you’ve probably seen it already.
Update 19th Jan 08: Playstation 3 owners will get to play the demo from the 2nd Feb 09.
Resident Evil 5 is due to be released on the 13th March 09 for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.
