The London Games Festival is on its way back after a year and organizers are touting it to be the biggest series of gaming events the city has ever seen as it spans four days and more than 40 activities spread across different locations.

The expansion from last year's game extravaganza is geared towards catering to all possible audiences from the casual crowd to hardcore game enthusiasts. It's backed by industry heavyweights like Activision, Atari, Eidos, Electronic Arts, Konami, Microsoft, Nintendo, Sega and Ubisoft, all strutting their wares to make the experience one to remember.

The London Game Festival starts on the 22nd of October and comes to a climax on the 26th. Headlining the festival are the British Video Game Academy Awards which honors the elite in the industry, Videogames Live which is a concert for 2,000 people and The Virtual Worlds forum that gives a lecture hosted by the industry's masters.

Exhibits will also be on hand to provide gamers stuff to drool over. The Science Museum: Quantifying Immersion in Games is one such exhibit and it features pieces of gaming history so that today's gamers can learn more about the roots of their beloved games. The European Careers Fair will have a leg in the event to orient and try to find people with the drive and the skills to break into the business.

"We are delighted by the response to this year’s festival," says Keith Ramsdale, Chairman of the event. "This event is a celebration of one of the world’s most exciting industries, designed to facilitate artistic and cultural recognition, as well as raise awareness of the games industry as a whole."
