I'm very glad that this fair is growing by every year, hopefully it won't be taken away like once the Games Convention was taken and transfered to Cologne as GamesCom a few years after the Games Convention was established in Leipzig as Europe's equivalent to E3 or the Tokyo Game Show.
After trying to revive the franchise of the former Games Convention as Games Convention Online (legally the trademark of Games Convention still belonged to Leipziger Messe) the attempt sadly failed, one of the main reason that killed the franchise was the decision to turn it into a trade fair upsetting all the fans who took their days off.
Anyway, the attempt of a second try with almost the same concept as GC Online being some "sort of brother in law" succeeded - the DREAMHACK was born and has been growing ever since.
The LAN-Party hall is giving you an old school LAN Party feeling, playing 3 days straight with lots of energy drinks, junk food and gallons of coffee.
There were also a few shops selling overpriced merchandise items of the latest TRIPLE AAA Games - I only import directly or buy in Japan, so I normally ignore those retailers.
Beside the presentations and several tournaments the Cosplayers became a big attraction, maybe my number 1 pick to attend the DREAMHACK.
The German Cosplay scene is getting better and better every year, I can't tell if I prefer the German or the Japanese Cosplayers.
Now Here's a selection of a few of my favorite Cosplayers of this event - ENJOY!
The last 2 pictures were no Cosplayers but the gaming grounds.
I am happy to come again next year, hopefully it won't be taken by Cologne ;)
The next big event is the book fair Leipzig (Leipziger Buchmesse) from March 21st-24th, see you there.
