Yes, one of Europe's major games trade shows is on tomorrow, trade only entry, and 18+. Most of the major developers are there, exchanging ideas, spying on each others' stands, wheeling, dealing, placing orders, watching demos, finding out about the latest technology in the computer world, and most importantly, getting legless at the free bars.
It only lasts for 3 days, but during this time we can expect to get some gaming announcments from the developers present. MadCatz are there demonstrating its range of new peripherals across all platforms, Ubi Soft are there, and Blizzard are rumoured to be announcing their latest long awaited game. (Another Diablo? Another Baldur's Gate? There's a teaser on their site about the announcement, but we'll just have to wait with bated breath).
The show is at London's new premier exhibition hall, ExCel, and it seems a shame that with a such high profile venue that they don't just tack on a fourth day for public viewing. There's a feast of entertainment laid on for the delegates present like Diablo Lambourghini steering wheel's being on show, Kick Boxing demonstrations by the World Champion on the Thrustmaster stand, news of the forthcoming Harry Potter title and so on, which I'm sure many of the gaming public would enjoy just as much as a few drunken hacks from the press.
They could even charge a small entry fee and recover some of their horrendous bar tabs on the final day.
