E for All Video Game Expo

I'm live from the E for All gaming expo where the emphasis this year is on accessories. Don't get me wrong there's plenty of video games to be found, but it seems as though manufacturers have decided accessories are where the money is at.

All the top games are represented here somehow, with "Guitar Hero 3" and "Rock Band 2" being the most popular. These games are made for someone like me who likes to hang out and play with friends, but has no hand-eye-coordination.

As a matter of fact I just tried out "Guitar Hero 3" and it was loads of fun. It includes a lot of the songs that you always wished were on "Rock Band." For about three and a half minutes I really thought I was the lead singer of Bon Jovi.

E for All isn't just about playing games, there are several colleges here with information on Gaming development and graphic design programs. There is also a full day of career seminars about breaking into the gaming industry.

Apparently in these uncertain times one thing never changes and that is the public's desire to become a rock star and blow stuff up.
