The Big One.......

EA takes over Trafalgar Square once again as part of this year’s London Games Festival.

The interactive extravaganza that is ‘BE THE ONE’ gives YOU the chance to play the latest video games, win prizes and play against YOUR heroes from the worlds of entertainment, sport and music.

On October 31 and November 1, you will be able to play some of the latest EA and EA-partner games, get your hands on games that have yet to be released and compete for the chance to challenge a host of celebrities live on stage in front of thousands – all for free.

We will be building on of the largest ever temporary structures to be erected in Trafalgar Square. The ''Be The One Battle Dome'' is a huge weather proof construction housing consoles, screens and the latest PC Gaming equipment. At one end of the Battledome the stage will host a series of celebrity and public gaming challenges in addition to live music performances.

''BE THE ONE'' officially opens on the evening of Thursday, October 30 with a spectacular public premiere event for the long-awaited Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3. This televised event will see invited celebrities, Red Alert fans and members of the public enter the BattleDome for an extravaganza that will include live and recorded appearances from some of the actors in the game such as Gemma Atkinson. In addition and for the first time, the game will be used for an international live challenge between Russia and Great Britain.

In further live international challenges, EA SPORTS will host contests across its popular franchises Madden NFL 09, FIFA 09 and TIGER WOODS PGA TOUR 09, between British and American gamers across the pond via Xbox Live and PlayStation Network.

As well as all this ''Be The One'' will give you the chance to see some amazing upcoming games!

Thanks for the Heads Up!

Although I'm not sure I will bother with the trek to London, it is nice knowing about these things before they happen. Last year when Burnout Paradise was featured we didn't hear about it until after the event.

The video on the official webpage shows a snippet of Mirror's Edge, so if our Mirror's Edge interview hasn't convinced you to buy this game, it might be worth heading down to Trafalger Square to take a look.

EA Be The One London '08

It doesn't look like the bands have been announced yet, but should be a good day out for all gamers!

This event is just part of the London Games Festival which has loads of gaming events across the capital.
