Gamecock Media Group Spills the Beans on
E.I.E.I.O.
First Look at Gamecock’s Original Games
Highlight Three Day Fun Fest
Gamecock Media Group continues its mission to
champion original titles today with the announcement of the final details of its
much anticipated E.I.E.I.O event. The “Expo for Interactive Entertainment,
Independent and Original” is being held at Santa Monica’s Hotel California (1670
Ocean Ave), right smack in the middle of all the E3 hotels.
"EIEIO is going to be a celebration of the
amazing lineup of independent developers that Gamecock has been lucky enough to
sign on, and I’m thrilled to say that every one of them will be in attendance to
give personal demos of their works in progress,” said Mike Wilson, Grand
Champeen and CEO of Gamecock. “And, of course, there will be a truckload of that
very special Texas hospitality that our friends have come to expect. While this
year’s E3 ‘business summit’ might seem a bit strange and uptight, those who
still harbor a true love for original games and the talented folks that create
them should know that there’s plenty of room at the Hotel California. Such a
lovely place…"

platform and hits multiple genres. The showcase includes several previously
announced games along with several new ones. Developers will be on hand to demo
their creations and answer any questions. Among the featured titles are:
