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.

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

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.
