GameCity 6
October 26, 2011 - October 29, 2011
Videogame festival, Nottingham, UK. – Attending.
“GameCity, Europe’s biggest and best-loved videogame culture festival!
Based in Nottingham’s Old Market Square, GameCity takes over the city centre between October 26th-29th 2011. The festival is mostly free to attend and there are loads of events suitable for all ages. It’s overflowing with fun, playful, interesting things to do during the October half term. Some events such as film screenings and late night events will require a small cost for admission. GameCity is a lot more than playing videogames. Although we do like doing a lot of that. It’s a unique exploration of what videogames really mean to the people who play them and the people who make them too.
For us, it means creativity and innovation. It’s talking and sharing. It’s having fun and finding new ways to play. It’s dressing up as Pac-Man and running around town being chased by ghosts. It’s 3000 zombies dancing to Thriller in the Old Market Square. It’s definitely about cake. It’s mostly fun but sometimes serious. But that’s okay, because games can be about serious things too.”
