Rage had quite a few games on show this year, although when you consider that there are currently 10 Rage game design studios dotted throughout the country that's no surprise. Hostile Waters was being shown again and it's now looking good for a release in a few months. Alongside previous Tom Baker, who has previously played Doctor Who, they now have Glynis Barber and Paul Darrow of Blake 7 fame providing voices for the game, meaning the game now has a number of actors from classic BBC sci-fi show on board. While the graphics have always been a high point of the title, the interface is something the developers have clearly tried to keep simple without lowering gameplay depth. Part of the system is a grouping of 9 keys, for example 1-9 on the number pad or the QWEASDZXC (don't even try and pronounce it) group of keys on the left of the keyboard. These issue various commands such as attack, go to waypoint and so on, although there's also an on screen indication of what the keys do so you won't have to remember a huge number of keys and their respective commands – this isn't a flight Sim, after all.

E-Racer was the new title on show from Rage. Yes, it's another racing game but they've done more than throw a few more polygons onto the car and add some new tracks like in some racing games. As the title suggests, online play is the main focus here. Each time you play online your stats are sent to a central server. You can then later view these stats from a web browser or even a WAP phone to see how well you're doing compared to other players. New cars and tracks will also regularly be made available online. They've tried to make the tracks much more interesting than the current standard fare by including such locations as car scrap yards and multi-story car parks. Many of them also have to be unlocked as you can only access 4 tracks to start with. You can even form co-operative racing teams with friends or show off to them by sending along a recording of a particularly good race, all packed into no more than a few hundred kilobytes. Needless to say, it's also visually rather slick with gorgeous tracks and detailed, deformable cars – this is Rage developing it, after all.

Incoming Forces was also on show, although the NURBS models that were recently revealed in a number of released screen shots were not being shown in the demo. Unlike the original, which was purely about blasting everything in sight, Rage are also trying to make Incoming Forces a little more interesting by adding resource management and new vehicle research and development.
