Dude, Isn't it great that TWO games are launching in Malaysia officially? How many times has THAT happened?

Plus, the organiser is Codemasters, the GAME DEV, not a distributor, or a shop. Plus, the game's lead designer will be coming to Malaysia to talk about it. I'd say if I were any kind of gamer I'd go to at least experience it once.

Ok. Some info:

1. The event is free.
2. There will be limited amount of games sold at a decent discounted rate (not the crap 5% discounted rate) for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC. Besides, I think you can win some games for free.
3. There is an age limit of 21 for guys and 18 for girls.
4. There will be some hot booth babes
5. For those underaged, there will be another event in the near future.
Probably at some shopping complex. However, there will probably not be any booth babes for this event

This is an oportunity for us to meet up with Ralph Fulton Chief Game Designer for Grid. And also you can meet the Malaysian unsung heroes  who actually were involved in the development of GRID. Great opportunity for those who are interested in working in the industry or even knowing a little bit more about the industry in Malaysia. Finally some of the big shots from Codemasters UK will be attending. Let's show them that gaming is alive and kicking in Malaysia.

Remember, this is a AAA game (read the reviews), Codemaster's crown jewel not some lame budget game given to us to do towards the end cyle of a consoles life. With great power comes great responsibility and we, Malaysians, delivered.

"Berkhidmat untuk Negara"

Codemasters KL does not handle the distribution of its games in Malaysia. They leave it to distributors like New Era or Atari in this region. I might be wrong, but i think they are just selling the game for just that one day.

Codemasters KL is purely a development studio for now (with an emphasis on doing the art bit), employing mostly malaysians. 

iirc, they've been here since mid/late 2006.

i think as consumers, we have the right to express our thoughts for each product that we buy with our cold hard cash. Proton is local, but look at the bashing. Its not like we buy RM5 dvd9.

And comparing GT and Grid is for me, unfair. They are in totally different worlds. One is a racing sim and one is an arcade racer. I read in one interview (forgot where), the reason GT didnt include damage were because:
1. Yamauchi wanted to convey real damage effect, not purely costemetis.

2. The cars inside GT were not 'purchased', meaning their licensing were not paid. So GT team cant simply show thier product smashed and exploded

oh a beemer, I thought the Mach5, coz can spin around.
