The website for Game City in Nottingham has gone live. Game City will be running from the 25th to the 29th October 2006 in various venues around the city. Here’s a sample of events:

• Arcade Trail. Coin-operated arcade games. Along a trail. Specifically, “a heritage tour of arcade game history”.
• Everybody Dies. Introversion (creators of Darwinia) talking about their latest game, Defcon. It’s coming out on 29th September 2006.
• Philip Wride. He runs the UK’s only professional PC gaming team.
• GameCity Lab. Experimental research, 3D projectors [Oooo...] and VR displays.
• Inside Lego Star Wars II. Jonathan Smith of Traveller’s Tales talks about LSW2. [Super cute game. "Bonus" levels are rubbish. Time trials are not a bonus!]
• Sunday Quiz. It’s a videogame pub quiz. I smell serious geekage at this event. Will pass, thanks.

This is only a small sample of the events on offer. Have a look at the official Game City Events page for the full list. Looks good enough that I almost want to use up my days off work to go.

Almost.
