In London tomorrow night? Why not get down to The Rigg at London South Bank University Students’ Union and get your rock on?
EA are once again bringing their Be The One extravaganza to Trafalgar Square, London as part of the London Games Festival.
Visitors to the London Games Festival this weekend will get a rare opportunity to get close enough to Ubisoft’s Jade Raymond to bathe in the warm, flowery scent she leaves in her wake everywhere she goes. She’ll be making an appearance at the flagship HMV store on Oxford Street on Saturday afternoon to promote some game about assassins doing some sort of thing, possibly killing that band that sang the “Can You Take Me Higher” song. The press release says something about showcasing new levels from the latest version of the game, but that’s neither here nor there. I’m personally hoping she announces a new game where you just move the camera around a 3D model of her person for hours at a time. I’d pay a hundred dollars. Or pounds. A hundred pounds of dollars. Hit the jump for the considerably more sensible press release.
Seems our favourite pastime’s been JACKED. As part of the London Games Festival, GI.biz are putting together an exhibition of ten portraits, aimed at showcasing the best over-sized head shots (ie GIANT FACE breeding grounds) in the business. My personal favourite is Peter Moore’s, if only because it looks like the photographer just woke him up from a pleasant Sunday afternoon nap. The exhibition’s open on October 23 & 24, hit the link for more details. Oh, and anyone going, all close-up shots to tipsATkotakuDOTcom, thanks. Faces of the Games Industry
The London Games Festival is coming up in October, and what’s a major gaming event without a visit from Tommy Tallarico and his travelling band of musical companion elves? Certainly not the LGF, that’s for sure. They’re kicking off the festival with a visit from the Video Games Live concert interactive celebration of gaming at the Royal Festival Hall on the 22nd. Along with the old standards from Zelda, Halo, Warcraft, Myst, etc., concert goers will enjoy a pre and post show festival featuring demos of Holiday Xbox 360 titles, a cosplay contest, meet-and-greets, and a special arrangement from Halo 3 The Music (not to be confused with Halo 3 The Ride). Hit the jump for full details, ticket purchasing information, and all sorts of musical PR goodness.
