The highlight of the two-day event was the electrifying GAMEHOTEL Show on Saturday evening. Packed with ideas, style, and a whole lot of fun, the three-hour extravaganza featured memorable appearances by some of the world's finest game developers, including Keiichi Yano, Chris Hecker, Petri Purho, and Ru Weerasuriya.
The top-notch GAMEHOTEL Congress on Friday proved to be equally successful. Leading international speakers spotlighted how game mechanics and so-called funware are successfully used outside the games industry.
The GAMEHOTEL Expo again attracted thousands of game aficionados and a broad audience who gladly took the opportunity to test drive the latest games of the year, from blockbuster titles to innovative new genres and casual games.
The organizers announced that the international event series on interactive entertainment, launched in 2003, will further expand its Zurich edition in parallel to the flagship Paris show, and a new edition in Cologne, Germany, in 2009.
