Leeds Digital Festival

Sean and Si love video games. Si likes the “good old days when the images were blocky and the games took ages to load”. Sean’s not so fussy - he just likes them all.

The boys thought that Leeds needed something somewhere for gamers to just get together to talk about, well, video games. Playing games, making games, and just loving games.

So they came up with Get Into Gaming. And invited people to it. And they were amazed that people turned up to listen to talks and presentations, to have a quick go on a game, and take part in their Games Master challenges. Some podcasting was done by their mate Mat and the evening was wrapped up with the ultimate gaming quiz. A lot of people said they enjoyed it.

So following on from the success of their first event in September, Leeds Digital Festival is proud to have the lads booting up their Skillzvision system for their second event.

Expect more talks, more presentations, more quick goes on games, and more gaming competitions. They don’t like to reveal everything, but they have said the theme will be Co-Op!, the games when people have had to work together not fight against.

Featuring Tristan Donovan, author of the awesome history of video games Replay, and Jamie Sefton, MD of Game Republic and a man who has many tales from his years at Future Publishing

This event is supported by The Adelphi and Enjoy Digital.
