The Leipzig Game Show is coming up next month and it's looking to be a bigger affair than E3 2008 ... but will it be better? GamesRadar believes it might be ...

E3 2008 was on the whole a rather lame affair. A lot of what was shown was great of course, but given the number of brilliant-looking games currently teetering perilously close to release, we got a miserable amount of content in terms of new unveilings. You've no doubt by now read a lot of articles questioning the future relevence of the show, and those articles have a good point, but we want to take a more positive angle on the whole situation.

You see, there is a great big hope on the horizon, and that hope is the Leipzig Games Convention, which happens next month in Germany. And these days it's bigger than the old E3.

    If I haven't expressed it enough in IRC, I can't wait for Leipzig!!!

    I'm real glad G4 is covering it this year too.

    Considering some strange absences from E3 I expect Leipzig to take up the slack. Hope Naughty Dog have something

    "You see, there is a great big hope on the horizon, and that hope is the Leipzig Games Convention, which happens next month in Germany. And these days it's bigger than the old E3."

    I would have actually clicked the link, the problem of course is that they did and as a result it kills the point of bothering.

    E3 had industry, media and sales as part of it, sales unfortunately included every "associate" that worked the gaming department at a local retailer. As a result it seems even people at gamesradar aren't able to define the line between public and "must have some poor form of credential"

    As a result it really is almost a giant "no duh" factor that a pubilc show would beat out a high entry fee private event.
