Edinburgh Interactive locks down schedule
This year's festival will feature world premiere screenings of Rise of the Argonauts, Turning Point, and the Euro premiere of Guitar Hero III.
The organisers of the Edinburgh Interactive Festival 2007 have released the event lineup, which they say is "arguably the strongest" in its five-year history.
This year's Edinburgh Interactive Festival will be taking place on August 13 and 14, and will feature a series of gaming-themed events including trailers of hot upcoming titles, talks by games industry personnel, and the chance for gamers to meet some of the industry's stars.
Games that will be shown in a series of public screenings taking place on August 14 are Codemasters' Rise of the Argonauts and Turning Point, Activision's Guitar Hero III, Midway's Unreal Tournament 2007, Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed, and Take-Two's BioShock. Tickets for the screenings will be on sale at Gamestation stores in Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Dundee from August 6.
Some of the industry talks which will be taking place include a keynote speech by Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot, CCP's Hilmar Petursson on the evolution of EVE Online, and Eidos' Ian Livingstone on "Games With Character."
GameSpot will be attending the Edinburgh Interactive Festival 2007, so stay tuned for our full coverage of the event.
