Well probably the majority of you guys don't know what I am talking about but I visited the Games Convention this weekend and I just wanted
to share my experiences.
Wikipedia.com entry :
The Games Convention (sometimes called the Leipzig Games Convention, and abbreviated as GC) is an annual video game event in Leipzig, Germany, first held in 2002. Besides videogames, the event also covers Infotainment, Hardware and Edutainment. Its concept was created by the
Bundesverband Interaktive Unterhaltungssoftware (German Federal Association for Entertainment Software) amongst others.
With 183,000 visitors, 2,600 journalists and 368 exhibitors from 25 countries in 2006, the Games Convention rivals the Tokyo Game Show as the biggest games event in the world. By comparison, both the Leipzig and Tokyo shows, where gamers of all ages can visit the show floor, are three times the size of the trade-only 2006 E3 show in Los Angeles.I stayed in Leipzig for 3 days and it was a pretty good event this time (in comparison to the last one).
You could play a bunch of awesome games e.g : Heavenly Sword , Halo 3 , StarCraft 2 , RockBand , WarHammer Online,
in addition there was a variety of new Trailers of Metal Gear Solid4, DevilMayCry4, Asassins Creed ,Little Big Planet(!) and many more.
There was also some stuff about the new Wow Addon Wrath of the LichKing going on, but I didn't check that out cuz it was simply too crowded.
Only Nintendo really disappointed me, they pretty much sucked except if you had a Press Card to get access to Metroid Prime 3 and the new Mario
like me.
