-Lorne Lanning
Game City 2006 was a cracking inaugural event and really showed that a regional festival can make its mark. Everyone from Free Radical loved being a part of it. Let's get Nottingham on the games industry calender - more please next year!

OK, UK people, drop everything and listen up. Nottingham is hosting a videogames cultural festival called GameCity and their stuff is sounding really exciting. Nice and home-made, sort of cosy, but with massive names involved.
