Gamescom is the world’s biggest video game show, that’s probably because the show is open to the public, attracts gamers from around the world and provides plenty of things to do that aren’t about video games.
ChinaJoy, the region’s version of the E3 gaming expo, has kicked off. The PC game-heavy show is known for its big booths, booth companions and cosplayers.

Excuse me, “Who wants to see costumed reps testing Dance Central for Kinect?” On the last day of E3, one of Rift’s attendants joined two from The Agency – and two dudes – for a dance off.
E3′s famous “booth babes” don’t just appear out of thin air. They’re hired somewhere. Usually in ads like this, for publisher THQ, which has some stringent demands for the upcoming trade show next month in Los Angeles.
Booth babes are a staple of many games expositions, but not Penny Arcade’s. Still, Some scanty-pants booth reps have made it into recent shows and caught PAX organisers’ attentions. Before they put their foot down, they want some community feedback.
Gamescom has a lot going for it but, with a few admirable exceptions, cosplay and booth babes shouldn’t be included in that list.
