What is GamesCon?

Gamescom is the largest trade fair and event highlight for interactive games and entertainment. In other words, it’s like a European version of E3… but bigger.  GamesCon takes place in Cologne, Germany at the Koelnmesse – a huge exhibition center.

BioWare’s new MMO Star Wars: The Old Republic will be featured at GamesCon and is currently nominated for the Best of GamesCon and Best Online Game Awards.
