I’m off to Leipzig!

Yes, next week the east German town of Leipzig will play host to Games Convention. Don’t let the European location fool you - the Games Convention Germany is always absolutely massive, and this year will prove no exception. Since 2002, its visitor count has gone from 80,000 to 180,000 - with even more expected this year. I just can’t wait. If you’d told me five years ago that a European games convention would be rivalling the Tokyo Game Show for biggest games convention in the world, I would have laughed in your face. My little EU heart is brimming with pride. Finally Europe is getting its day in the sun. Just a shame it’s not in the UK, but you can’t have it all ...
P.S. Regarding Far Cry 2: Kimi, a lovely lady and support co-ordinator for the game, has brought to my attention their shiny new Far Cry 2 Developer blog. If you’re a fan of the series and want to see how it’s taking shape, go check it out!

Confirmed earlier this week. Talking about flying by the skin of a frankfurter, eh?

Of course, I’m not going to Leipzig just to work on my tan. I’m off to hunt down some juicy interviews. I’ll be catching up with Kitt’s friend Dr. Dave to find out about Haze multiplayer; meeting Michael de Platter and hopefully getting a first look at EndWar in action; and catching up with someone from the Far Cry development team to find out about this African-themed sequel. If there are any questions you would like to put to the developers, then hop onto our forum and let me know! I can’t guarentee anything, but I will try my best.
