The review also down plays the popularity of the amusement scene and only talks about "...how great the game will be when it comes to console"! If this is the case I think Capcom were VERY stupid to anger the player base, and could be on very thin ice. This smells like the GameSpot mess - another nail in consumer console coverage.

I felt utterly conned into this event because I literally came for this game & few others. I do feel this was con because website said very little about the game and didn’t warn us about any games being only viewable! (plus who wants to play DMC4 when its out on Xbox 360 & PS3). Every time I'm reminded about this event it just makes me so angry because it literally was them lying to customers to make them come!. Yes there is SF4 machine in London why could'nt we had test run on that?

Also the Play.com LIVE web site said the game would be at the show - and that some other web sites have started to edit their show previews to cover-up that the game was not see (other than a very old video trailer).
