Korea's GSTAR (Game Show & Trade, All-Round) is poised to take over the spotlight that used to shine on E3. Recently, E3 organizers said the famous fanfare will be scaled down and be limited to members of the press from various media. GSTAR is taking the opposite direction by building itself as THE world's attraction park in the game sector.

A big hit last year, GSTAR had 160 exhibitors and over 150,000 visitors at its first show. This year GSTAR will focus on building up a "pleasant business environment, intensifying business supporting programmes (conferences and seminars)." It will also form various public events like amateur game league, game music festival and celebrity's show to attract more visitors ranging from gamers to families.

The second GSTAR will be held on November 9 - 12 in Korea. Oh, and so you don't end up buying plane tickets to the wrong place, that's South Korea.

How is it cheaper...? You usually have to stop in Japan and board another plane if you're traveling to S.Korea from the US
