Black Ops 2, Dead Space 3, and GOW: Ascension Playable at The GameStop Expo

GameStop has dropped some more details regarding its forthcoming gaming expo, aptly named the GameStop Expo. An event traditionally designed for retailer managers and associates, the GameStop Expo is spreading its wings this year by inviting members of the public(specifically only its PowerUp Rewards card holders).

And what would a gaming expo be without hot new video games? Well, it wouldn’t be much of one at all really. Thankfully, the show will host games like Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, God of War: Ascension, and Dead Space 3 – all of which are fully playable by attendees of the show.

Nintendo will be present as well, showing off their upcoming console, the Wii U.

Other companies in attendance include:

• Activision/Blizzard
• ASUS
• Electronic Arts
• Microsoft
• Nintendo
• NVIDIA
• Sony Computer Entertainment of America
• Take-2 Interactive
• Turtle Beach
• Ubisoft
• WB Games
• And dozens more!

Also, Kenny Smith will be there signing autographs apparently. Don’t know who that is? Well, here.

The GameStop Expo will run from 11am – 4pm on August 29 in San Antonio, Texas. If you’re a rewards member with the retailer, you can scoop up your ticket(s) right over here.

Is anyone else hoping that they’ll be cramming the usual pre-order opportunities down your throat whenever you try to leave/enter the expo? Yeah, me neither.
