FOMCON

A couple of editions ago we started with a new concept called 'FoMCON'. FoMCON is our own awesome gaming expo with several partners. This time, the FoMCON activities won't be limited to just Saturday -- there'll be FoMCON activities on Friday as well!

You can watch the FoMCON trailer here:

An overview of the attending partners:

This will be Ubisoft Belgium's first appearance at FoMCON, and they're coming in guns blazing to satisfy our Benelux audience! The invited press will have just finished testing Trials Evolution when you guys will be first to play Trials Evolution (PC). Here's a juicy detail: ten-times world champion motorcross Stefan Everts will be attending as well, and will be racing against members of the press! This means that you can expect an exciting showmatch which everyone can view on our big screens. Action and excitement are guaranteed!

In cooperation with Hewlett Packard and SteelSeries we have an awesome Free to Play zone with 12 new high-end PC's and the latest gaming pheriphals. This zone will be used on Friday night to promote Trials Evolution. Afterwards, from Saturday morning onwards, the Zone will be transformed into a ShootMania F2P Zone where you can try out ShootMania!

The stand will be pretty hard to miss, but just in case: you can find it to the right of the main stage.

Electronic Arts Belgium will also be attending FoMCON this year with two cool booths!

EA Crysis 3 Zone

In the EA Crysis 3 Zone you will be able to try out THE survival game of the year: Crysis 3! EA will let you play a complete level from the Single Player campaign (playing time: +/- 30-60min).

Everyone who tests Crysis 3 will automatically receive a free, exclusive Crysis 3 T-shirt! Next to that, you enter the drawing to win one of the three Crysis 3 copies (these will be sent by post once the game releases).

You can find the EA Crysis 3 Zone inbetween the Tones and Gamegear booths.

OPENING HOURS:

Saturday: 11h00-19h00
Sunday: 11h00-16h00

EA Lounge

In the EA Lounge, which will be moved to the entrance of the halls, you can play several games on PS3 pods. The EA Lounge is a perfect place to relax in their new comfortable beanbags. Next to Need For Speed: Most Wanted and FIFA13 you'll be able to play the just-released Dead Space 3.

OPENING HOURS:

24/24

2 editions ago they attended FoMCON, and this time they're back with a vengeance! Back then you were able to watch the first footage of the long-awaited Dragon Commander game, but this time you'll be able to play it yourself! On Friday night Larian Studios will showcase their newest Dragon Commander trailer, and afterwards they will have a showmatch on the stage between the devs!

On Saturday the Larian team offers you guys a unique chance to be the first gamers to test Dragon Commander in the multiplayer mode! They expect tons of feedback, so be sure to drop by!

Who knows, you might get a chance to win a cool prize...

OPENING HOURS:

Friday: 00h00-00h30
Saturday: 09h00-21h00

As announced before, you'll be able to play retro games on around 20 different consoles. Always wanted to play on a NES or a Commodore? Then this is your chance! You can read more information in this newspost: RETROGAMING FOR EVERYONE
