K2 Rocks Out At Leipzig

K2 is heading to the Leipzig Games Convention next week, and they’re ready to show their growing European gaming community a damn good time. First off they’ll have a booth dedicated to Sword of the New World: Granado Espada, which I keep passing up just barely every time I hit the game store. Conventioneers will be able to enter contests, get tonnes of swag, and even get their picture taken with “a sexy female character” from the game. After a few minutes to recover from a brush with a booth babe, they can head over to the World Cyber Games Booth and take place in a live War Rock tournament on Thursday the 23rd, which culminates in an award ceremony and great prizes “including a digital camera.” Not a digital camera!? The lines for the event will be huge for a chance at one of those bad boys! Best start camping out on Wednesday night to avoid the rush.
