With the date for this year's Tokyo Game Show 2008 already decided, the organizers of the event have recently announced this year's theme as well as the list of planned exhibits and the tentative schedule for the four-day gaming event.

This year's theme is "Ready for GAME Time!". It expresses the enjoyment both casual and veteran gamers get from playing games, which in turn becomes the aspiration for developers to create new content for everyone to enjoy.

Here's a snippet taken from the Tokyo Game Show website, describing the new theme in a nutshell:
