London MCM Expo is set to provide the grand opening for this year's London Games Festival, the capital's celebration of the best in videogame culture. Held at Excel on 24-25 October, the Expo will be a gamers' feast, with top developers from across the globe giving visitors hands-on experience with the hottest new games as well as sneak peeks at their latest projects - often months in advance of their official release.

Be among the first to get hands on with the amazing 'Tekken 6', the latest incarnation of Bandai Namco's legendary fighter. Other titles include 'Ghostbusters', 'Katamari Forever' and a pair of smoking hot JRPGs, 'Tales of Symphonia' and 'Magna Carta 2', not to mention a slew of anime-inspired games such as 'Dragonball: Raging Blast', 'Dragonball: Revenge of King Piccolo' and 'One Piece: Unlimited Cruise' 1 and 2.

All hail Ubisoft, who are giving gamers some quality time with acrobatic assassin Ezio - star of the eagerly-awaited 'Assassin's Creed 2' - as he ventures into the dark heart of Renaissance Italy. Also among the playable titles at Ubisoft's stand will be 'Rabbids Go Home', a brand new comedy adventure starring the troublesome bunnies.

'Monster Hunter Tri' may not be hitting shelves until early 2010, but Capcom has announced that gamers at the Expo will get the chance to go mano-a-mano with the prehistoric horrors that populate the latest in their hit Monster Hunter series. And if that's not exciting enough, the Japanese videogame giant has confirmed that 'Tatsunoko Vs Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars' will also be playable at the show.

Meanwhile, SEGA is giving fans the chance to get up close and personal with 'Bayonetta', a fast-paced action shooter from the creators of 'Devil May Cry' and 'Resident Evil'. Step into the killer heels of the eponymous heroine to lay the hurt on the bad guys with extravagant weaponry, over-the-top moves and... demonic hair?

Get to grips with acclaimed platform puzzler 'Scribblenauts' courtesy of Warner Bros. Games. The winner of no fewer than 35 awards at E3, the Nintendo DS game boasts a stunningly original gameplay concept that sees players summoning any object they can think of to help hero Maxwell traverse 200+ levels.

Other big names with exciting new titles to announce include Activision; EA; Koei Tecmo; Nippon Ichi; Rising Star and 2K, so keep an eye out for more breaking news. With so much on show, the London MCM Expo is an event no gamer can miss!

Battlefield Bad Company 2
March 16, 2010
The Battlefield franchise has been one of the few to preserve the high standards in multiplayer and somehow succeeded in coming up fresh all the time. Bad Company added some extra flavor with the brilliant singleplayer campaign, so it's only natural that the sequel was highly anticipated. Battlefield: Bad Company 2 might not be a giant leap forward from the previous title but it is still an excellent game, that will please both the dedicated fans and the newcomers who are bound to enjoy every minute of this sequel.  [...]

NecroVision: Lost Company
March 11, 2010
It's an amazing thing that actually The Farm 51 were able to create a prequel to their old-school zombie shooter in this hard times when even a blockbuster creator like Infinty Ward (for instance) are on the brink of collapse. But I assume the zombies' subject is still a popular and cheap element to exploit. NecroVision : Lost Company is slightly better than the original, but is still a mediocre game which scores at the gore section but brings nothing new.  [...]

Gratuitous Space Battles The Order Expansion Pack
March 8, 2010
Most videogames featuring large scale battles involving hefty fleets colliding in space, perceive the initial setup as nothing more then a prelude for the actual combat. Gratuitous Space Battles on the other hand focuses entirely on designing and deploying a balanced armada that is capable of annihilating the enemy fleet on its own. Once the battleships are in position, the orders have been issued and the fight commences, all you can do is sit back and enjoy the fireworks. Suffice to say this is one amazing show.  [...]

Star Trek Online
January 22, 2010
What is interesting and unique about STO is that you have two separate stages of gameplay: the space stage - where you command your own starship and use it to fight your way through and investigate various situations, but also to move from one sector of the galaxy to another of course; and the ground stage - where your away team teleports to a planet, station or boards a ship and tries to solve problems more delicately, although most missions still result in firefights to be honest, because well... that's so exciting.  [...]

Gratuitous Space Battles
October 20, 2009
I've only had the opportunity of testing a pre-release beta version of Cliff "Cliffski" Harris' Gratuitous Space Battles, but I can tell you I've had great fun with it. The game is developed for braniacs and lets your imagination thrive, even if it's a top-down, 2D strategy. Looking forward to check out multiplayer and the final version.  [...]

World of Warcraft: Cataclysm
September 8, 2009
World of Warcraft: Cataclysm promises to be one of the turning points for the Warcraft universe, not only advancing the story and lore, but also offering a new and more beginner friendly experience to new players who are just starting up on the game. That said, it is obvious veteran players haven't been forgotten, and as I've seen from this year's Blizzcon, everyone will be happy to know development work looks quite advanced, and we can probably expect this pack to arrive probably sooner than later.  [...]
