Well the MCM London Expo is over for this year and the long wait till May 2010 is upon us.

But before we go, here’s a little wrap up in pictures for you to browse. We’ve got cosplay galore, the good, the bad and the down right sexy.

Sega’s upcoming Bayonetta was on show at the MCM London Expo and we were on hand to give it a short play through.

From the short time we spent with the game we were impressed by the smooth, fluid animation, especially in combat. The cutscenes likewise were well animated and fleshed out. Of course we’re not talking Metal Gear Solid 4 here, but good none the less. Controls were good too and will suit button bashers and combo kings alike.

Tomorrow yours truly, representing Pixelated Geek, will be present and reporting from the October 2009 MCM London Expo.

On the agenda for the show is:

• Bayonetta preview
• Tekken 6 preview
• Exclusive look at a brand new co-op level of EA’s Left 4 Dead 2
• Exclusive sneak peak of the upcoming V re-imagining from SyFy (that’s Sci Fi for all those that hate the new name)
• Colin (the no budget zombie flick) is also previewing

For Halo fans we also have a treat for you with the full size Halo M12 ‘Warthog’ LRV, which is to be used in the upcoming Halo fan-flick Operation Chastity making an appearance.

Of course they’ll also be a load of cosplay on show, so we’ll have the best, the worst and the down right strange on show for you.

London MCM Expo, the UK’s NO 1 consumer event for movies, video games, comics and more, returns to Excel London from 23-24 May 2009.

Prepare to be interrogated by storm troopers, come face to face with your favourite cinema and TV actors and try out the hottest video games months before release. Take some time to explore the extensive range of exhibitors selling everything from replica items from the big screen, to merchandise, clothing and all manner of quirky paraphernalia, and let’s not forget the 35,000+ crowd that the event is estimated to attract this May, and who are just as much a part of the action as the big name celebrities on offer – the fans alone broke into the record books at last year’s event for the most amount of people in one place dressed as their favourite video games characters – a world record Expo attempts to shatter again this May.
