Only one more day!

Tomorrow kicks off the inaugural E for All Expo, and we can't wait to see you there. We have loads of stuff planned and all the hottest games and game devices for you to try out.

E for All happens at the L.A. Convention Center and runs Thursday through Sunday. The event kicks off at 3:00 PM Thursday in the center's South Hall, with a procession led by the winners of the cosplay contest, dressed up like their favorite game characters, will lead the general public in. (And if you've pre-registered, don't forget that you'll have VIP access from 11:00 AM on.)

Inside are game stages where you can see the newest games on display from companies like Nintendo, EA and others, and where we're featuring other fun activities like the "Pitch Your Game Idea" contest. We've got Major League Gaming coordinating competitions and tournaments, along with workshops to help you develop mad Halo 3 skills.

Just to give you a taste of some of the game action you'll see, 2K Games will be showing off Civilization Revolution for game consoles, while THQ is going to be showing off a new WWE SmackDown vs. RAW wrestling game and de Blob, an exclusive game for the Nintendo Wii. And don't forget that if you have Pokémon Diamond or Pearl, you can bring your DS to the show and get a legendary Pokémon -- Manaphy!

There are more than 70 vendors who are going to be on hand -- everyone from Intel to HP, Nintendo to Konami and many others, giving you a chance to get up close and personal, hands on, with the newest games and gaming products there are. Friday Night there's even a Video Games Live event -- an orchestra and choir recreating beloved video game themes with a lightshow, performers and giant displays. That's going to be a unique experience, for sure!

All the fun starts tomorrow, so please c'mon down to the L.A. Convention Center for what promises to be one of the most fun gaming experiences you've ever had.
