"The E3 Killer"-Leipzig Games Convention

Dear friends, Leipzig is over! Many great announcements have been addressed this year and I'm here to let you know about my personal favorites. In 2007, E3, the biggest gaming convention in the world was announced to be invite only. Most people were disappointed (I sure was since I had $1,500 saved up for it right when they announced that it was invite only :-( ) and most people looked forward to other events to fill the void in there hearts in which E3 used to be. This years top gaming event so far happened to be the Leipzig Games Convention. Why? Well it was obvious...people were ACTUALLY allowed to come to the event! Our favorite console maker, Sony appeared at the convention this year and had some amazing announcements. First of which was Playstation Home being released this year. You heard me right, they promised us 100% that Home will be released by the end of the Calander year.

Another exciting announcement was the Heavy Rain demo changing from False to Fact. It's now official! An exact release date is to be determined for the Demo. Heavy Rain is expected to be released in 2009. Ever been wondering what that 'Secret' game was that Sony has been working on? The game happens to be called "Savage Moon". A bug-infested strategy game with a major twist. No other information was given out but keep your eyes on the look out for more information around Tokyo Game Show!

One announcement that caught my eye was "EyePet". This is a game that appears to be as cute as LittleBigPlanet. It's a game that works with the Playstation Eye and allows you to interact with your virtual pet Forget Nintendogs, this is the real deal! No stylus needed to pet your lovable friend when you can do it your self on your Playstation Eye with your own hand! Keep up the great work Sony!!!

Those are just the few great announcements that Sony had to offer. If you go to Kotaku or PS3Fanboy, then you'll notice the other great games that appeared at GC2008. The next event that is up in the lineup is TGS 08 (Tokyo Game Show 2008). Keep an eye out for more great games when TGS arrives this year! Thanks for reading!
