    Canal Walk hosts gaming expo

    Favourites such as Guitar Hero, FIFA 16, Skylanders Superchargers, Forza 6 and more will be on offer for hands-on test-driving. Joining the line-up are the latest generation of powerful video game consoles, including the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo's WiiU, as well as other items like gaming keyboards and headsets which will also be available to experience.

    "Gaming is more than just the latest screen experience and video game releases," says Karl Klöpfer, Marketing Lead at BT Games. "It includes trading card games, such as 'Magic the Gathering', 'YuGiOh' and more, which is why we have called this a gaming 'culture' exhibition. Furthering the notion and playing to the connected home theme, which is where the human race is headed, we will also be introducing visitors to the new BB-8 Sphero Droid - the Star Wars app-controlled droid, which can be won."

    As we move into a world that is dominated by technology and apps, so young people are adopting 'coding' as a basic language. The Expo will have a number of programmes and consoles available that can demonstrate how even very young children can learn how to programme and make coding fun by using apps on iPads, iPhones, Android tablets and phones.
