Emphasis has shifted from hardware to software this year – this is of course natural as this time last year, in Australia at least, there was no Nintendo Wii, no Sony PS3, and no Xbox 360 HD-DVD drive. This year the focus is on the software to take advantage of next-gen consoles and PC hardware. There is also a serious side to the show which in conjunction with the Game Developers of Australia Association will give folks interested in the industry as a career, a chance to hook up with a variety of local developers and educational offerings to further that dream. But it is the new games that will draw the biggest crowds –streaming in now, and sure to break last years total of 15 thousand visitors. Games that can be seen and tried at the Expo include; * Crysis * Assassin’s Creed * Fury * Haze * Halo 3 * Metroid Prime 3 Corruption * Big Brain Academy * Tzuga * The Simpsons™ Game (PSP®) * Ratchet & Clank™: Tools of Destruction (PS3) * Tekken 5™: Dark Resurrection – available to play online (PS3) * Warhawk™ (PS3) * Haze™ (PS3) * Eye of Judgment™ (PS3) * Assassin’s Creed™ (PS3) * Heavenly Sword™ (PS3) * WipEout HD™ (PS3) * Lair™ (PS3) * Pain™ (PS3) * Guitar Hero™3 (PS3) * Folklore™ (PS3) * Pro Evolution Soccer™ 2008 (PS3) * WWE Smackdown Vs Raw™ 2008 (PS3) * Wipeout Pulse™ (PSP) The ‘not yet / soon to be released’ titles on show at the eGames expo: * Dark Sector * Mass Effect * FIFA 08 * Skate * Tiger Woods PGA Tour ® 08 * NBA 07 * Singstar * Pokemon Battle Revolution * Super Mario Galaxy * Link’s Crossbow Training & Wii Zapper * Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles * Sight Training * Singstar® (PS3™) * Unchartered: Drake’s Fortune™ (PS3) * Time Crisis™4 (PS3) * Gran Turismo®5 Prologue (PS3) * God of War™: Chains of Olympus (PSP®) * Pursuit Force™2: Extreme Justice (PSP) * Socom® Tactical Strike (PSP) * Syphon Filter®: Logan’s Shadow (PSP) * ATV Offroad Fury Pro™ (PSP) Other great titles to check out at the eGames expo: * Brain Training * More Brain Training * Clubhouse Games * Picross * Nintendogs * DK Jungle Climber * Call of Duty 4 ®: Modern Warfare * Tony Hawk’s Proving Ground * Guitar HeroTM III: Legends of Rock * Counter-strike 1.6 * Counter-strike Source * Unreal Tournament 3 * Tabula Rosa * Quake 4 Enemy Territories * Need for SpeedTM Pro Street * The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass ‘Mass Effect’ will be showcased at eGames prior to its late November release by Microsoft. ‘Mass Effect’ gives gamers complete control over their gaming experience. Gamers can create their own customisable version of Commander Shepard of the SS Normandy (or jump in and use the pre-created character) and plunge themselves into the centre of an epic science-fiction story. They can choose their squad-mates, weapons, skills and abilities and customise their vehicles, armour and appearance. As Commander Shepard, gamers then lead an elite squad across a galaxy which is in turmoil in a desperate race to stop the return of a ruthless, merciless enemy.
