gamescom 2010 dated, will have expanded 'look and feel' photo

With gamescom quickly becoming one of the premiere gaming events in the industry, take note -- next year's show has been scheduled for August 18 through August 22. 

According to the event's planners, next year's Germany-based show will be bigger than ever, with an expanded "look and feel" of the overall event. 

"Compared with previous years," says Koelnmesse GmbH's managing director, Oliver P. Kuhrt, "we are noticing that the industry is approaching their plans for participation in gamescom 2010 much earlier and with more decisiveness after the successful initial event."

Sounds neat, and Oliver P. Kuhrt is an amazing, amazing name. Don't you think?

Not better than Magnus Nedfors from the Just Cause 2 team, but yeah Oliver P. Kuhrt is an allright second place.

I think I might have to take a look next year. And that name? After Arnold Schwarzenegger no other name means anything.

Dunno... that name is a pretty average german name, if you ask me.

Since Gamescom takes place a mere ~40 miles from my current residence, I'll most likely be there.

This is the same Germany that had the game-burning?

Updated like lacking any kind of violent "killer-spiel" right?

This year's gamescom has been so sweet, I'm definitely in for 2010. How about a German destructoid community meetup next time?

@Sexualchocolate:
The "concerned parents" thing no one bothered to go to? Yeh.

@Nick:
Sure. And that's freaking awesome. :)
For me, it would take something more along the lines of "Dorschbert Eisensohn Krawallmeier".

The most awesome german name to american ears has to be "Wolfgang".

I mean, it's A GANG OF WOLVES. How can you beat that?
