Singapore in E3 = success?

Gaming is big business. That's why Singapore is trying to gain a foothold in this area, and one of the main thrusts helping to put Singapore on the map is the island's participation in this year's E3. But does having a presence in E3 means that we are going to make a mark?

On GameAxis, there is a piece looking at the milestone of having a Singapore Pavilion at E3. However, it's not just a fluff, PR-type piece celebrating this achievement, but a thoughtful look at what it means. Worth reading if you're interested in gaming in Singapore.

The day when I feel proud of the fact that there’s a Singapore Pavilion at E3 is the day when I shown genuine admiration for products created by our local developers that meet my high expectations, and that of other game journalists around the world. That’s not to say that it has to be a AAA title, because even a modest title the likes of British indie developers like Introversion who were inspired enough to create Darwinia is good enough for me, just as long as they are creating games with a lot of heart and innovation, and not with financial figures first and foremost on their mind.
