Play Expo 2012 combines new with retro
The Independent reports.
Play Expo 2012 is expected to attract 10 000 visitors over its two-day run in October.
According to VideoGamer.com, the exhibition will take place at the brand new EventCity venue, on 13 and 14 October.
The expo claims to be the only UK videogames expo catering for all gamers and all forms of games, with four core gaming zones: now.play - latest releases and previews for Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, PC and handheld; re.play - freeplay arcade and pinball machines, retro consoles and vintage computers; pro.play - a competitive e-sports event featuring pro gaming tournaments; and cos.play - costume role-play including masquerades, talks and anime.
Digital Spy quotes spokesperson Gordon Sinclair as saying: "There is great demand from gamers for a show outside of London and from our experience, we know there is appetite for Replay's unique approach.
"In fact, we surveyed previous attendees to our shows and found that 96% said they wanted this type of event and that they would be very likely to attend. With that kind of support, we are confident that this huge step forward will be a successful one for both us and our exhibitors."
