Leipzig Games Convention 2008

[QuestOfDreams]

Next week Europe's most important trade fair for the games industry, the Games Convention ( http://www.gc-germany.com/ ), will take place in Leipzig (Germany) again (probably for the last time as the fair will move to Cologne next year). Like last year I will visit this great event, promoting the Broken Sword 2.5 fan adventure project ( http://www.brokensword25.com/ ) and of course to play some of the upcoming video game titles. (Sadly Nintendo decided not to showcase their games at the GC this year )
If anyone feels like meeting me, write me a PM. I'll be in Leipzig from wednesday afternoon to sunday midday and will visit the GC on thursday, friday and saturday.

Do you have to be 18 to get in like E3?

No, you need an invitation and a press pass, E3 isnt open to the public anymore.

Ya they dont want us in there stealing their new game ideas.

Like :

Halo 10,

FF 90,

Doom 20,

Broken Sword 2.5!

GTA the Dublin gang,

Quake, "the night after, the day before"


You know the new games

We're talking about LGC, not E3...

Do you have to be 18 to get in like E3?

No, but there are special areas for 6+, 12+, 16+ 18+. At the entrance you get a colored wristband that shows where you are allowed to go.
