THE World Cyber Games (WCG) kicked off on Friday amid a carnival-like atmosphere, with everything for game enthusiasts and even professional game creators.

This year, WCG has been combined with a local gaming convention called Games Xpo, which has mini gaming tournaments and panel discussions on gaming developments.

The public can watch the WCG competitions that go on from 10am to 8pm through the weekend, buy new gadgets and even try out the games themselves.
