It is the eve of EGX, the UK's biggest gaming show, which means our office is rapidly emptying of people as well as the huge flight crates filled with routers that have been stacked around the printer for the last week. (Disclaimer, if you didn't know already: our company, Gamer Network, runs EGX, but the events team is separately run from this website.)Team Eurogamer will be there, as ever, albeit in a little less than full force for once, due largely to the sheer quantity of babies we've produced over the last 12 months (or are about to produce in the coming weeks, god help me). Still, Tom, Johnny, Ian, Aoife and Chris Bratt will all be at the NEC Birmingham for the show, so if you're going and spot one of them, do say hi.
As they pack their bags with spare camera batteries and cans of delicious Tornado energy drink (warning: do not drink and VR), it seemed like a good moment to run down our pick of things to do at this year's show. EGX isn't all about queueing to play massive unreleased games, so we've included a few other bits and pieces. And of course, this only scratches the surface - check out the EGX site for the full run-down. There are still a handful of tickets available on Thursday, Friday and Sunday, by the way.
