Gamecock Media Group today revealed the final details of its much anticipated E.I.E.I.O event. The Expo for Interactive Entertainment, Independent and Original is being held at Santa Monica's Hotel California (1670 Ocean Ave), right smack in the middle of all the E3 hotels. The festivities which will coincide with the Santa Monica E3 Summit, includes playable games, accessible developers, Gamecock suckers (while this sounds absolutely filthy it is probably harmless fun), and food and drink.

Gamecock's developer-driven line-up touches upon every platform and offers games that span multiple genres. The showcase includes several previously announced games along with several new ones. Developers will be on hand to demo their creations and answer any questions. Among the featured titles are:
