Organisers said visitors to this year's city-wide event will have something for everyone, from casual gamers to parents seeking advice on safe gaming. For hardcore gamers, previews of forthcoming titles will be shown, while those interested in a career in the industry will find help at hand.
Chairman of the festival Keith Ramsdale said: “Last year’s London Games Festival was a huge success and we were thrilled with the feedback from many of those who attended and the publishers who took part.
"The Trafalgar Square event looked fantastic and it was great to see so many families come down and enjoy it. We’ve got plenty in store for 2008 and a whole host of major partners lined up with full support from the industry. We’re really looking forward to bringing the gaming industry to life in the capital again.”
Last year's festival saw more than 50 events staged, from EA's celebrity-hosted Be The One at Trafalgar Square to Video Games Live at the London Festival Hall.
The 2008 London Games Festival will be held from October 25.
