GameCity returns to Nottingham in October
In 2006, Nottingham Trent University held a gaming festival, apparently it was enough of a success to warrant a sequel this fall. The GameCity 2007 festival will be held at the university October 24-28. Yes, that's awfully far away, but it gives those Brit cos-players enough of a head start on putting together their outfits.There is very little information about the festival, but we're guessing it'll be like last year's -- except bigger. According to the website, "among the excellent treats coming very soon is a fantastic competition from PlayStation." We're guessing they mean Sony, which has a strong presence on the island. Most of the festival is free and some of the events are reasonably priced. It's nice to see regional gaming conventions doing well, we're sure to learn more as the fall approaches.

I'm at Nottingham Uni now, and this is great news - I really enjoyed the last one of these. There were some pretty interesting talks and stuff, and I met some cool people there too.

I know you meant that with good intentions but it does come across quite patronizing to us often left out brits. I know we dont have E3's and such like but we still have a great community here without having massive conventions.
