With Digital NatioNZ in the bag, it’s time for all eyes look across the Tasman and to Sydney’s EB Expo. From Friday 3rd of October to Sunday 5th of October Sydney’s Olympic Showground plays host to one of Australasia’s top video gaming events.

Well, basically, pretty much every major release coming out in the next six months!
But the show isn’t just a load of booths filled with demo pods. There’s heaps of other things going on as well. On the big stage the EB Live presentations from local publishers, some of whom have flown developers in from overseas.
Once again the Community Hub will be hosting a number of industry panels and competitions. Freeplay City will be showcasing all generations of gaming and the UK’s Robot Wars will be putting on free shows.
Each evening, Bajo and Hex will be putting on their Good Game Live show, based on the ABC TV show. Ticket are AU$25.
For three days EB Games will host a spectacular celebration of video gaming and, as usual, I’ll be there reporting for ShanetheGamer.com. This will be my third year at the show and believe me when I say that it gets better every year.
Hope to see you there!
