I've never even heard of this part of the festival before, so I've no idea what it is going to be like, but I have bought tickets for a couple of these as they are only £3 each. |

Yep. Most excitingly, Nintendo are presenting playable code of the new Zelda game too.

Have you actually seen this advertised much? First I knew of it was my friend pointing it out to me in the Festival brochure, I haven't seen any posters or anything, but sometimes I walk around with my head in the sand. Just wondering how busy it is likely to be. | |

That's because it's mostly an industry conference event. The public bit is pretty small. It's a fair way off the beaten track, don't expect it to be packed out or anything... but the local kids will be hard to get off of the demo pods so that you can have a go.

Tell that to the thirteen-year-old neds mainlining prerelease shooter games from opening to closing time.

I'm tempted to go along just to play the murloc aggro sound through a loudspeaker, but I probably won't.
Sounds interesting though... | |
