One thing is for sure; E for All may be a newcomer to the block, but if this opening event is any indication of the rest of the show's focus , we're in for one hell of a show, and very possibly the new candidate for the industry's new premium anual gaming event.

By: Dragonfly On: 09:28 Oct 16th, 2007 Offline	Ganondorf;33804 Wow, kinda interesting. I've never heard of this before. Now you have. Hopefully some of the names (and music) in that list will have piqued your interest a little. I was quite surprised myself to see so many credible and high profile names in there, but that certainly can't be a bad thing.
By: Samuel On: 12:24 Oct 16th, 2007 Offline	I heard about this a while back. It's a damn shame they don't host any in birmingham.
By: Dragonfly On: 12:26 Oct 16th, 2007 Offline	Samuel;33824 I heard about this a while back. It's a damn shame they don't host any in birmingham. They're not, but I can get your free back stage ticket to the London show. if you can get there on the 22nd. <3 I'll PM you with my details.
By: Corrine On: 01:01 Oct 16th, 2007 Offline	For 30-70 a ticket, that's a really good deal. Most of the features you listed up there are actually interesting, and that's pretty cheap to see it live! Too bad it's in LA, that's really shitty. No way am I flying out there.
By: Mobius Zero On: 04:19 Oct 16th, 2007 Offline	I have known of Video Games Live as much as I known of Tommy Tallarico, which is disturbingly alot:lol:. This will be an actual show of games into BS conferences especially Sony is guilty of this. I WANT TO BE HERE (huge gaming music fan, be on the lookout for Caucasian male with dirty blond hair and greenish-blue eyes drooling). And I just wish they could show this on TV .
By: Matt On: 08:18 Oct 16th, 2007 Offline	Pretty Nice. I know Video Games Live did the MGS intro one year and I found it pretty cool.
By: Tiamat On: 06:19 Oct 17th, 2007 Offline	I see a few names on there that would be cool, but I'd love to see David Hayter ^__^
By: Evren On: 10:16 Oct 17th, 2007 Offline	Wow, thats awesome, I would get to throw things at Mr Fatality himself. <3 whoop whoops. There some some really awesome names on there, and if I could, I would love to go.
