More games, more festivals, more more more!

All eyes are on Japan right now, but today is miserably the last day of the Tokyo Game Show, so what's up next? London steps in with a more compact and bijou offering: the London Games Festival, kicking off shortly on October 2. It looks like there'll be a ton of games to play at a special setup in Oxford Street's HMV; plus there are various other events, venues and showcases, neatly repeated across the week so scheduling visits shouldn't be too complicated.

That Trocadero is a grubby old place, though. You'll want to take some sanitary handwipes, it's as sticky as a Roppongi nightclub in there. Alice Taylor
