Konami is gearing up for the 2008 holiday season by releasing its list of upcoming games for every major platform.

To Konami’s credit, it has a wide variety of genres to choose from this winter. Most of them are music based titles such as Dance Dance Revolution titles, Karaoke Revolution, and its newest entry into the plastic instrument playing universe, Rock Revolution. Just try to find something in this list that doesn’t interest you. My guess is that would be a difficult task.

Midway Games, like most other considerate E3 attendees, has announced a list of games which it will be displaying at the event. It looks like, this year, Midway is going a somewhat safe route when it comes to games, as it will be showing off new installments in its popular Mortal Kombat, Unreal Tournament and Touchmaster series at the event.

The selection this year seems to reflect Midway’s desire to reach two, very different audiences. Games like Unreal Tournament 3 (Xbox 360), Wheelman (PS3, Xbox 360, PC) and Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe (PS3, Xbox 360) are being released for Midway’s faithful fans, while titles like Touchmaster 2 (DS) and Game Party 2 (Wii) are for casual players.

SouthPeak Games has just unveiled which titles it will be displaying at E3 2008, and I have to say that there is quite a variety. The company will be occupying Booth 426 this year, and will be showing demo videos, have game demos for visitors to play and will have Shawn Smith, Ninjatown‘s creator, on hand to give a presentation about his upcoming DS game.

It looks like the company has a nice selection of games coming for all platforms, so there should be a lot to see at the convention. Ninjatown (DS), Brave: A Warrior’s Tale (Wii, Xbox 360, PSP) and Monster Madness: Grave Danger (PS3) are among some of the more popular, forthcoming titles.

So, straight from the official SouthPeak Games press release is it’s E3 2008 lineup…
