The show starts today and with a busy few days ahead we thought we'd give you a little glimpse into what goes on behind the scenes as we prepare for the show.

By the time those lucky enough to have tickets for the show are let in there has already been many people hard at work behind the scenes getting everything set-up. Booths have to be built, all manner of computers, devices and connections plugged in and checked.

So the day before the showfloor is already packed with staff and contractors scuttling about making sure everything is where it should be and putting things where they need to be!

Yesterday was also an important day for us, with the news that Age of Conan will be a showcase game for Windows Vista, and footage of the game featuring in Microsoft's annual pre-show press conference!

So now everything is coming together and the booth is almost ready to welcome visitors! Check out our new photo gallery for all the latest images direct from the show!
