Formed in 2008, the Games Alliance Middle East show, or GAMES, had a very modest beginning. However, over the years, with the rapidly growing community, and gaming becoming big as it is, GAMES has blossomed into one of the largest games convention in the region - so much so that it has been unofficially dubbed as the E3 of Middle East.

GAMES is returning this year on September 26-28 at the Dubai World Trade Centre. We have already told you what some of the big publishers such as Activision, Electronic Arts and Ubisoft will be showcasing at the event, and it will be especially exciting wth Sony debuting the PlayStation 4 in the region.

Tickets for GAMES13 is now available from TimeOut Dubai. Prices for tickets are: AED 50 for regular, AED 100 for a three-day pass, and AED 25 for students (children under the age of 13 enter for free).

As usual, IGN ME will be scrounging the showfloor for all the latest updates, so do look out for our extensive coverage.

Update: Tickets are now available at all Geekay Games outlets.
