Lecturers Mike and Rachel attended the Gamescom exhibition at Koelnmesse in Cologne, Germany. The trip was undertaken in order to plan a possible student trip to the exhibition next year. Whilst at the exhibition we had the opportunity to see Infamous 2, Epic Mickey, Donkey Kong Country Returns, Gran Turismo 5, COD: Black Ops, Playstation Move, Xbox Kinect, and much more. We also attended several demonstrations of new games including Portal 2, Old Republic, and picked up some free t-shirts and game related merchandise.
