If you’re going to rAge this year, you’re in for a huge Xbox 360 treat, as attendees will have access to several of the console’s banner, upcoming titles, which will be available for your ogling pleasure on the show floor.

Chief among rAge’s Xbox 360 line-up will be the limited hands-on Gears of War 2 event, Mayhem, giving gamers a chance to get to grips with the game’s multiplayer features, including content shown at E3 this year. Another huge title on the show floor at rAge will be Fable II, Lionhead and Peter Molyneux’s RPG magnum opus. Don’t miss your chance to see these titles a full month before they’ve even been released!

For fans of the development studio Rare (and there are many) you’ll be able to see two of their titles, Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts, as well as Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise, both showcasing Rare’s unique flair and talent. For fans of social games (or, ‘games that make you look like a fool while having fun’) another three titles will be on display - Lips (a singing game with motion-controlled microphone), You’re in the Movies (a movie acting game using the Xbox Vision cam to capture footage of your movements) and Scene It? Box Office Smash (a quiz game).

rAge is a South Africa game and technology expo and is taking place this weekend (!) from the 3rd to the 5th of October at the Coca-Cola Dome in Northgate, Johannesburg. The show is open to the public, so be sure to drop by if you’re in the area, or if you’re just a massive fan of gaming!
