I'll simply mirror the post (http://sek-ost.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=628) I made in our forum.

Greetings, everyone! We're back and like, totally rockin' the house again! ... Or something.

As always, it was totally crowded, but fun nevertheless because the game was received very well by the audience and the press. Sorry that I can't offer any English links yet, we'll see what shows up in the near future. Here are some bits for your Babelfish pleasure. :P

The gaming portal of T-Online (Europe's biggest ISP) considers it one of the strategy highlights (http://onspiele.t-online.de/c/51/41/79/5141792.html) of the show. Gameports thinks the game is absolutely delicious (http://www.gameports.net/cms/artikel_474.html). Neox posted some photos (http://sek-ost.de/forum/viewtopic.php?p=25173#25173) he took with his cell phone cam, showing one of the stage presentations of ParaWorld. We'll be posting some more pictures in the next days, Sunflowers also posted some booth-related pics in their GC album (only accessible if you have a SF forum account though) right here (http://forum.sunflowers.de/forumdisplay.php?f=39). If you know some Polish, Gry-online deliver their take on the game (http://www.gry-online.pl/S018.asp?ID=296&STR=2), too.

And last but definitely not least: some editors of a Korean website dug the game and wanted to know more about it and had Tom demoing the game and answer questions and whatnot. Really. (http://www.4gamer.net/news.php?url=/news/history/2005.08/20050820105301detail.html) The real kicker is: they also recorded some footage and posted two movies which you can find if you search through the text on this page. (http://www.4gamer.net/news.php?url=/news/history/2005.08/20050820194801detail.html) :) Real-time footage, nothing's prerendered.

3DGamers covers PW as part of their GC coverage (http://www.3dgamers.com/articles/more/126/):
ed your warriors but also your dinosaurs as well to train them to go into battle with other tribes. The fights between different tribes were truely marvelous. Who hasn't wanted to find out whether his allosaurus is stronger than a T-Rex? The dinosaurs each have their special attack: allosaurus would simply stomp the group to throw all enemies around him into disarray, T-Rex would just swallow enemy humans whole.
