In the dimly lit recesses of the back of Hall 3 at the Leipzig Convention center is a testament to the games we've been excited about of years passed. I call it the promo statue graveyard, where the eye-catching photo opportunities of the past gather together to remember the good old days, when ripe young men from throughout Europe would crowd around them, getting their picture taken while hugging, kissing, or dry-humping them. Ah, those were the days. The current booth adornments bow their heads as they pass, because they know that one day they'll be in the promo graveyard too.
