Leipzig Games Convention





Today was "Julian Day." We all made the effort to accompany Julian to the Games Convention at the Messe expo center in the north part of Leipzig. It was huge, loud, crowded and overdone. So much hype for the newest video games. But this is the attraction for technologically placated amongst us. Julian had a good time watching some demos and also getting to play some. The more popular games like Gutiar Hero had hours long waits for poeple to get their chance to have a contest on stage in front of the bulging throng of spectators and maybe win a prize. Julinan didn't do this, but he and Sierra said they easily could have beat the contestants we watched. For the rest of the family, the most interesting thing was watching the German youth; particularly those dressed in costume to emulate their favorite game characters.
