By Patrick Garratt

Dutch show the NLGD Festival of Games is to be held on June 14-22 in Utrecht, the organisers confirmed today.

Omnipresent former Edge editor Margaret Robertson will open and close the show, which is to feature keynotes from PONG creator Ralph Baer and Spore designer Chaim Gingold, who is to talk on creating games involving user-generated content elements.

“I’m excited to visit Utrecht, one of my favourite places in the world, and talk with like minded folks about games, one of my favourite subjects,” said Gingold. “My keynote, Magic Crayons: Spore & Beyond, will be an even better version of my GDC talk from last year.”
