'Eurogamer Expo this October!' Screenshot 1

Eurogamer is delighted, overjoyed and just generally superlatively emotive to announce our brand new consumer videogames event, the Eurogamer Expo!

The Expo (E2, if you like) takes place at the Old Truman Brewery in London on 28th and 29th October as part of the London Games Festival 2008, and features tons of big Christmas games for you and your friends to play on every system.

We've got Street Fighter IV, Prince of Persia (exclusive first UK hands-on!), Mirror's Edge, LittleBigPlanet, Tomb Raider Underworld, Far Cry 2, Fallout 3, Saints Row 2 and tons of others. See the Eurogamer Expo website for the full listing.

In order to guarantee a ticket for the Eurogamer Expo, all we ask is that you make a GBP 5 donation to UK videogames charity GamesAid. We'll be letting people loose on the games in five-hour sessions: from 11am-4pm and 5pm-10pm on 28th October and the same again the next day.

More details on all that can be found on the official Expo website, where you can also sign up for the Eurogamers and Facebook groups. So head over to http://expo.eurogamer.net to find out more, and we'll see you there!

Good stuff! Now all you need is a sarky webcomic...

Seriously, this is great. It's possibly the only consumer games show I'll ever attend (I'm in Dublin).

asphaltcowboy: Very soon. Can't be more precise yet I'm afraid.

rotmm/ShakaCarnage: Err, whoops. DNS is still updating for some folks. Apologies, should be sorted soon.

Sounds great until you realise that most of those games will be out by then, and the rest will almost be out.

Good that it's for charity though. I wonder if Play.com will be having another event this year? EDIT: OOPS! That WAS this year, in March. I'm losing it.

woodnotes: I see your point but we have made an effort to make sure everything is playable - which isn't possible with an event in March. With 40+ titles, most of which are out in October or November, it's a great opportunity to go hands-on with stuff that you haven't yet played (even if it came out a week or two before the event) -- and obviously titles that aren't out yet.

viper: Give it a couple of hours. Really sorry about this!

All the EG regs will just end up wasted and knocking all the machines over.

Hehe. No the brewery isn't working. But if you're looking for a place for a meet-up, the Big Chill bar is right opposite the venue, and has loads of space.

It's a shame it's mid-week and I'm working, especially that the place is located a stone throw from my place .

That sounds really exciting, but I'm already going down for the Video Games Live concert, and can't really stay all week because of Uni. Yet again I curse London for hosting pretty much all (Public) games related conventions and shows
