GameCity: Nottingham videogame festival
"GameCity is a lot of things, but most of all it's an ongoing project to find out what a videogame festival could be. Unlike a lot of videogame events, it's not really a place to come and play them - we'd rather do that at home on the sofa. But if you do love videogames, you're going to find lots here to enjoy."
