Information you need – Edinburgh Interactive Festival

mario

As events go the Edinburgh Interactive Festival is among the most prestigious for those involved in the gaming industry. It’s been announced that GameStation will be acting as the retail partner for the event again this year. What it means for the everyday man is special discounts at the event when going to purchase games at their on-site store.

There are also a few good points to Gamestations involvement for the Scottish public at large with a one-off pre-festival launch event scheduled at the Gamestation store on Prices Street in Edinburgh in August featuring giveaways and competitions. While full details are still coming the Gamestation website will be updated with full info near the end of July.

In addition a highlight for all at the festival is the public screenings programme. It allows members of the public to preview in person some of the biggest games before they are released in addition to asking those involved questions about the games involved and offers a glimpse into their development. Most screening sessions are around 45-60 minutes long so its not a 30 second gameplay clip in most cases. It’s most of the perks that the press get only without the annoying writing to justify the freebies!

While the screenings are a ticket only affair they are free of charge with the tickets available in any Gamestation branch in Scotland. A download & print version for those outside Scotland can also be found on the Gamestation website from June 10th.

Has Apple sold 5 million iPhones already?

The iPhone has been hailed as the ‘Jesus phone’ by many, while that may be taking things too far it seems to be doing pretty well because Rumors suggest around five million Apple-loving customers already have one. Apple hoped to sell 10 million units by the end of 2008 and it certainly looks like they will, maybe more. Christmas sales have been good to Apple too, and with a 3G version coming out in 2008 things are certainly looking up for Steve Jobs and co. Next step, world domination. Mwhahahaha, and so on.

OBJECTION… wait, scratch that.

Today Capcom held their annual Gamer day in San Francisco. As usual they took the time to announce several titles for the upcoming year, along with other big announcements. Amongst the announcements was Lost Planet going to the PC, a Harvey Birdman game for the PSP, and the official announcement of the third Gyakuten Saiban game(AKA Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney) being released in america under the title Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney- Trials and Tribulation.

Much more was announced, but I gotta say these Attorney games are what really caught my attention. I loved the original Phoenix Wright, along with the sequel, and Harvey Birdman’s just beyond awesome. I just hope that Harvey Birdman ends up being a more adult Phoenix Wright instead of some boring Platformer or something of that nature.

A few more big announcements from Gamer Day 2007.
