Adventure games at Leipzig Games Convention - 07/31/07 08:48 AM
From August 22 to August 25 there is a large games convention/fair/expo in Leipzig, Germany. It's the largest European games convention and bigger than this year's E3 (electronic entertainment expo). There's quite a few adventure games being showcased, and I guess we will get lots of new information about these games there.
Anyway, confirmed line-ups are:
Aerohills
Alice: English in Wonderland (educational, may be adventure??)
Alice: Follow the white rabbit (PC adventure)
Chuckcha in Moscow (PC adventure)
The History of the Ancient times (educational, may be adventure??)
Anaconda/dtp
Overclocked (PC adventure)
Reprobates (PC adventure)
So Blonde (PC adventure)
Memento Mori (PC adventure)
Undercover: Dual Motives (Nintendo DS adventure)
Gray Matter (PC adventure)
Mata Hari (PC adventure)
Press conference with Jane Jensen, Steve Ince (hi Steve, if you read this, is it okay for me to bring a manual from an old game for you to sign?), Hal Barwood and Noah Falstein (if these names don't ring a bell, they used to work for LucasArts, Indiana Jones adventures amongst others).
Deep Silver/Koch
Secret Files 2 (PC adventure)
Perry Rhodan (PC adventure)
I also expect adventures from Akella, BUKA Entertainment, Focus Home, Micro Application, and Nobilis.
I am visiting the fair from 22nd (press/trade only) to 24th (open to public). As the website I work for plans on booking as many appointments with publishers as they can for me, I don't know how much 'spare time' I will have to roam/browse, but if anyone has specific questions about a specific game, let me know and I will do my best to ask. Not sure if I can post from Leipzig, otherwise it will be after I am back.
