Everyone was upset when E3 said goodbye, especially the giant statues.

When the E3 we all know and love closed its doors for good, many of us needed to have our frowns surgically removed from our collective faces. So when we got word that Gamecock Media Group was going to be offering up a convention of their own this year we were interested in learning more.

Today Gamecock Media Group gave us the final details for their “Expo for Interactive Entertainment, Independent and Original” or E.I.E.I.O for short. The event will be a three day “festival of fun” taking place on July 11th through the 13th right smack in the middle of all the E3 hotels at the Hotel California in Santa Monica California. The event includes playable games for most every current gaming system, accessible developers, Gamecock suckers, and plenty of food and drink.

“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. He added “We’ve hit the ground running with wildly creative games on all next-gen platforms and PCs,” said Harry Miller, President and Head of Development for Gamecock Media Group. “E.I.E.I.O. will be a great opportunity for the world to get their eyes on these products and see, first-hand, what these talented developers have in store.”

Featured games include:

• Fury (PC)
• Insecticide (PC, DS)
• Dementium: The Ward (DS)
• Hail to the Chimp (Next-Gen Platforms)
• Mushroom Men (DS, Wii)
• Dungeon Hero (PC, Xbox 360)
• Two Unannounced Next-Gen Titles (Some things you just have to see to believe)

E.I.E.I.O. Details:
Location: Hotel California
Address: 1670 Ocean Ave, Santa Monica, CA
Times: July 11th 12pm-6pm; July 12th 10am-6pm; July 13th 12pm-4pm
