Games galore featured on stage at E for All
Vendor booths aren't the only places where you can check out the hottest titles for consoles and PC at E for All -- the show's two Game Stages will be a great way to try out some of the hottest titles. Get up there and show your stuff -- or hang out and watch your fellow gamers make their moves -- in front of a live audience. This is your chance to get in the game!
This information is subject to change, but here's a rundown of some of the great stuff you'll be seeing on the Game Stages next week: Nintendo will show off Donkey Kong Barrel Blast for the Wii, a new game featuring Nintendo's lovable ape mascot. You use your Wii Remote to shake like you're hitting bongo drums, raising the Wii Remote and the Nunchuk to jump, punching opponents and obstacles and more. Nintendo's also going to show off Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Mario Galaxy, which I've already talked about -- hot new games that Wii players can't wait to get their hands on. You'll also get to see The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, the sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, specifically for the Nintendo DS handheld. Gamers will be psyched to get their hands on Activision's Guitar Hero III. (Calling all Slashes & Tom Morello wannabes!). Tony Hawk's Proving Ground will be demo'd, the latest edition of the long-running series of skateboarding games featuring pro skater Tony Hawk, complete with a soundtrack of cool urban music, punk rock and classic rock. And some lucky fans will also get to play the new Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, the first game in the hugely popular first person shooter series to be set in the modern day instead of World War II. THQ is going to be showing of WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2008, the pro wrestling video game based on World Wrestling Entertainment's Friday Night SmackDown television show. The series has been around since 2000 and just keeps getting better and better. This will be the first WWE game to run natively on the PlayStation 3, Nintendo DS and Wii systems. It's also coming to Xbox 360, PlayStation 2, PSP and mobile phones.
The game stages have large screens, so even if you're not onstage playing, you'll get up close views to check out the gameplay. Schedules will be next to each Game Stage, and posted online next week! Are you ready to get IN the game??

Very awesome, but what do you mean by "Schedules will be next to each Game stage"? What schedules?
Kashakunaki:
Who are you beheading today? ;)
Anyway, the companies occupying those game stages will rotate, and presumably you don't want to spend the whole day just standing in front of the stage waiting for games to show. So we're posting schedules so people can take note of which games and companies will be on when, so you can write yourself a note and show up when you want to to see the games you're interested in.
Hope this helps.
