LGF 08 Kicks Off

In UK news, the London Games Festival 2008 has kicked off this week and will be running until the beginning of November with a series of workshops, public events, and more.  Some of the events include a LittleBigPlanet Creative Cupboard, a creativity workshop, which is being run in Covent Garden all week and the Eurogamer Expo 2008 which will allow you to play all of the big upcoming Christmas releases, and not to forget the Girl Gamer Tourney.  Get in there ladies.

I will try to get myself over to a few of these events and get some reporting back to you all, but if you are in London you can check it out here which I do suggest.  This is not a closed event, it’s a festival, there are plenty of free and public events all across the city.  A few events are asking for donations to quality causes, but remember they are providing to you plenty of gaming and swag.  Get lootin before I get there son.

Reminder: Gene Simmon Guitar Hero Event

Gene Simmons PicJust a friendly reminder that Microsoft’s Guitar Hero II event with Gene Simmons is tomorrow at Virgin Megastore in Time Square. I’ll be there playing some GH2 and talking to some folks. If you’re going to the event, it starts at 12:30pm. Leave a comment if you’ll be there and think you can hang with my Guitar Hero skills. :)

Gene Simmons Guitar Hero II Event in NYC

Gene Simmons PicIf you’re around New York City next Wednesday, April 11, stop by Virgin Megastore in Times Square. Microsoft is hosting a Guitar Hero II competition, where five lucky contestants will be able to battle it out to get to play “Strutter” with one and only Gene Simmons of KISS. Don’t go jumping around just yet, the contestants have already been selected.

The event runs from 12:30-2:30pm EST. I’ll be there with bells on (not really you freaks). I’ll make sure to take lots of pictures to show everyone. If anyone in the area will be going, leave some comments.

Expect Gene Simmons to market the hell out of himself at every turn, cause that’s how he rolls.
