In addition, AGEIA will give daily presentations on the future of advanced gaming physics in the Digital Life Theater and host a “celebrity appearance” on Sunday, October 15th.

In the AGEIA booth gamers will get an exclusive sneak preview of a series of upcoming games, powered by PhysX, including CellFactor, Infernal, Black-out Saigon and Stoked Rider: Alaska Alien.

Other titles available for play in AGEIA’s booth or the Digital Life PC Arcade will include: Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter, City of Villains and Bet on Soldier: Blood of Sahara.

AGEIA will also offer a sneak peek at its forthcoming PhysX PCI-Express card.

PhysX PCI-Express cards will be available integrated into new gaming PCs in time for Christmas, 2006 from AGEIA’s leading OEM system manufacturers.

And now, with both PCI and PCI-Express cards and a line up of new games, we’re offering consumers real choice and real value,” said Manju Hegde, founder and CEO of AGEIA. “By purchasing at Digital Life, consumers can actually bring home that next-generation PhysX experience for the Christmas season.”
