Quote:For a long time now, there have been trade fairs for all sorts of industries and hobbies, but it's the level at which these shows are taken to which has been consistently expanding. The Electronic Entertainment Expo (that's E3 to you & I) has been going strong for some 16 years and is considered by many to be the main event of the video gaming calendar. While America gets its fair share of other fairly large expos and conventions, mainland Europe has GamesCom and Japan gets Tokyo Game Show, both of which are shows catered to professional journalistic gamers (with the last few days open to the public) and come chock full of announcements with first showings of trailers and gameplay. Unfortunately, the UK doesn't really have a direct equivalent to these, but the next closest thing would have to be the Eurogamer Expo. Although only having run for the last 4 years, Eurogamer Expo has fast become the largest video gaming expo in the UK. This was my second year in a row attending Eurogamer Expo as a member of the public (no press pass for me), and I was again there with various other members of the community (shout out to Laguz, Eskimo Keith, Kiwiified & MooMoo)! These are my thoughts and reflections on the show, for all those that couldn't come along.

It's a shame I couldn't attend the actual show itself - it sounds like you had a fantastic time!

It was good to see the Unionites afterwards though Yay Pizza Hut.
