You want to try and have a game in development in stage 2 at least when G3 hits. If it is, you normally get a big burst of hype + fast hype growth for the rest of development. If it is in stage 1 or the setup stage, it wont' get any initial hype, but still get the fast hype growth.

If you have a game nearly finished or in the bug fixing stage when G3 hits, hold off on releasing it until after G3, as it will get a massive hype boost.

Even if, due to an engine upgrade or mass trainings, you are not going to have a game in production when G3 hits, it is always worth getting at least the small booth. The game made after G3 will get some free natural hype-growth.

The only thing I'm still not sure of is if G3 boosts the sales of games that are already on the market at the time of the convention. I would think that the convention would let you get in some free advertising to an already-released game to boost its sales. Thus far I can't see any noticable effect in the sales charts of my games.
