Chris Marlow is the voice of the Great Mighty Poo - surprisingly he doesn't look so brown and slimy in real life...

Got there at 9 and went back to the Microsoft stand. I was going to attend the Rare fan hour, but none of the rare employees knew about it. I went to the Microsoft meeting booth, they needed me to give a name. I didn't know WHO because Wozza didn't give me the name of the invite. I thought I was seriously screwed out of another special event. Then I got an idea. I talked to Chris Marlow about the situation and he let me get past security and into the meeting even though he didn't know about it! So I was in, everything was good, and I was about to be one of the first non rare employees to take a peek at Perfect Dark Zero, and Kameo for Xbox 360!

Below we see Chris Picas from team Conker - How many Chris's are there on this team anyway??

Below we see Coolboyman lining up with the Rare Team - Duncan Botwood and co

Kameo Team members were spotted on the floor everywhere!

Behind closed Doors with Rare

Coolboyman had the luxury of attending the exclusive closed doors presentation of Perfect Dark Zero and Kameo Elements of Power - what was referred to as the Rare Happy Hour.

I was not allowed to take photos during the showcase, but that doesn't mean I cant tell you about it!

They started a multiplayer match against each other, and demonstrated the detail to the graphics. You thought Conkers graphics were amazing? Well these are 98% lifelike, showing you how powerful the Xbox 360 is!
They also showed me the old kameo and compared it to the Xbox 360 version demonstrating the major power difference between the two games. One employee described the water on the Xbox 360 Kameo as "mathematically correct water".
Back onto Perfect Dark Zero - I witnessed an special video of Perfect Darks Multiplayer which was truly jaw breaking. If only Rare had shown the rest of the world this video!

The below pictures are the only pics Coolboyman was allowed to take within that secret room.
You can make out Joanna on the pause screen. Duncan Botwood leads the presentation.

Yet another Rare employee Coolboyman caught on camera!
