EB Expo 2012 games line-up confirmed

Today EB Games confirmed the line-up of titles that will be shown at this year's EB Games Expo.

The event officially opens October 5 and runs until October 7, and gives Aussie gamers a chance to check out some of the big-name games shipping later this year, and further into the future.
