Ó

GC... Well, at least that's what the organizers of the Leipzig Games Convention are expecting. Just in case you haven't heard of it, it's going to be held in Leipzig, Germany from August 24 to 27.

Last year, around 134,000 visitors came to attend the convention, and organizers are expecting roughly the same number of attendees or more, as 367 exhibitors (that's a lot!) have already signed up for the videogames expo.

The Games Convention will also have other activities aside from the main expo; these'll include a Gladiator Fight, sports on the karting trach and on the halfpipe, and a concert.

A bit more about the concert for ya - it'll feature game music and will be held in Leipzig's Gewandhaus on the 23rd. It's bound tp be exciting because music from games such as Two Worlds, Castlevania, Revenge of the Shinobi, Anno 1707 and Final Fantasy will be included in the concert. Unfortunately, tickets for the concert have already sold out...

We'll be bringing you the final list of the exhibitors at the Games Convention once the complete list has been released. Any of you folks going?

Wondering if I should pack a bag and head out to this to check it out.
Leipzig is only about 4 1/2 hours away from me by autobahn.
Been to Leipzig before....

Die Autofahrt ist bei mir zwar etwas länger, aber ich werd wohl auch mal vorbeischauen. Mich interessiert hauptsächlich Crysis und natürlich News von der PS3.

Aber wie es scheint heben sich die Entwickler die besten News für die Tokio Game Show auf.

Schade eigentlich.

No, folks, this article's no dupe (you had us scared for a minute there) - it's just quite similar, both content- and format-wise, to an article on the Leipzig event, that's all ;)

Looks like I'm going. Already bought my ticket online.
I've done this before for the Frankfurt Int'l Auto Show and it's damn convenient, passing everyone else in line to buy tickets and just having the ticket scanned by the gatekeepers. Plus it includes free transportation to and from the major parking areas in Leipzig.
I'll pass on the pics I take and the info I get to the DS bloggers here to put out.
