The shindig took place under what’s thought the be the largest temporary structure ever put up in the square – fancy – and saw the launch party for Red Alert 3 as well as performances from McFly, Natasha Bedingfield, and The Automatic.

More through there, including Gemma Atkinson talking about her acting role in Red Alert 3.

This year’s London Games Festival will kick of on October 25, the organiser confirmed today.

“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,” said LGF chairman Keith Ramsdale.

“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.”

The Festival will last a week, see 50 various events throughout city put on, and attract over 100,000 attendees, apparently.
