If you haven’t already heard, one of the biggest games convention on earth will commence today in Leipzig, Germany.  Dubbed the 2008 Games Convention in Leipzig-Germany (quite an imaginative name, huh), the event will run from the 21st of August till the 24th of the same month.  This is the 7th year that the GC is being held.

This year, exhibits will be on display from 32 counties – up by one from last year’s convention.  Some of the biggest countries that are participating include France, the Netherlands, Norway, Russia, Spain, the UK and the USA.  Of course, just like in the previous conventions, we expect to see the big players in the gaming industry.  Some of them are Sony, Microsoft, Electronic Arts, Ubisoft, and Aktivision.

One particular feature of this year’s GC is that there will be separate areas for gaming enthusiasts and those involved in the gaming industry.  Whilst gamers can have all the fun and laughter that they wish in their area, there is a separate section for those who are into serious business, which is quieter and more conducive to business matters.  Furthermore, in the business hall, there is a section for aspiring developers.  This gives them the chance to make contacts that can give their careers a boost.

If you are in the area, I suggest that you be there for the launch at 20:00 today as there will be a live show featuring awesome music and other video game features.  Expect to hear live the music from hit video games such as Halo, Final Fantasy, and Tomb Raider.  What else can you ask for?
