There’s just a couple of weeks to go until Big Screen Gaming takes place in London (January 20th and 21st), and we’re continuing our daily track rundowns.
Big Screen Gaming will make its debut in London after a successful outing in Helsinki, and is the successor to previous years’ PC Connects. It’s the partner event to Pocket Gamer Connects London, and it covers all the latest trends in the business of PC and console games.
