The Game Developers Conference has always been a show worth covering, but the hard game news and reveals tend to take place during E3. EA is bucking the trend with a press-only event taking place the day before this year’s GDC, with some big games on display. What is going to be shown?

• Alice Madness Returns
• Crysis 2
• Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
• Shadows of the Damned
• Battlefield Play4Free
• Battlefield 3

Battlefield 3 will in fact have its own reveal event, and interviews and hands-on time are promised for the above-mentioned titles. This is a smart move: the majority of the gaming press will be in San Francisco anyway, and this is a good time to make sure everyone is writing about your titles. Plus, that’s a pretty impressive list of games to put on display.

Ars will be there to cover GDC, which begins March 2, as well as the EA event taking place a day before.
