LIVE VIDEO gaming on Trafalgar Square is just one of the highlights of the London Games Festival, which gets way in earnest this week.

It’s a festival that has lots of little festivals wrapped up inside, from events on working in the games industry, to video art and, as you’d hope, to the actual playing of plenty of great games.

“The festival has a phenomenal spread of events from the Baftas to the London Game Career Fair, from huge consumer events to a game that is being designed and produced as the week progresses,” said Paul Jackson, of Elspa, the European Leisure Software Publishers Association, which is helping organise the festival.

“The festival will show the breadth of artistry and creativity the games industry has to offer.”

Held at a variety of venues, large and small, indoor and out, the festival continues until midway through November.
