Aaaaaand we’re back.

Hello again, everyone. Hope you’re all splendid. We’re a videogame festival and this is our website. Following extensive consumer focus testing, we’ve decided to avoid making the site difficult to use this year. Much of the feedback we received suggested strongly that users preferred an easy, accessible and fundamentally more useful site - driven by the story and character of the festival. That's what we're going to try and deliver over the next seven months offering you not just some insight into the progress and process of the festival, but an opportunity to get involved in lots of different ways.

Probably the first way you can start to do this is by following our twitter feed, which can be found here. If you've not already signed up, this is probably the easiest and most immediate way to give us ideas, praise or harassment.

This year, we’re going to be doing things a little differently - rather than simply be the place in which we tell you what’s going to be happening at the GameCity show and hope you all turn up - this will be the epicentre of GameCity past, present and future. There’s a few things we have planned already, and a load of stuff we haven’t even thought of yet - so bear with us and we'll roll out the plan over the next week or so.

It's really nice to be back, and we're hoping that the show this year is going to be better than ever.

Tune in next time for DATES!
