PC games to be bigger factor at CES 2010?

The Consumer Electronics Show is usually not a major showcase for PC games but that may be changing with the 2010 installment. The massive trade show, to be held in Las Vegas on January 7-10, 2010, announced today that their gaming exhibit area will expand by 50 percent compared to last year.

Even more interesting is that exhibitors for the gaming area will include Microsoft's Games For Windows program which means the show could be the showcase for upcoming Games For Windows titles. In addition the non-profit group the PC Gaming Alliance is sponsoring the exhibit hall's PC Gaming TechZone. Finally the show will apparently show off Lego Universe, the long-in-development MMO from NetDevil. So far the game has yet to make a public appearance so CES 2010 could be the game's coming out party.

This is not surprising given the state of the economy and the negativity of the nightly news that people look for avenues of enjoyment in their lives. Posted at 12:12PM on Oct 27th 2009 by Susie
