It's been downsized, restructured and repackaged and in just six weeks (July 11-13) we'll be able to judge first-hand whether the new format E3 is an improvement over the loosely organized orgy of chaos and inflatable swords that has always exhilarated and exhausted game hungry show goers in equal measure. But while we're certainly curious to see the transformation from sensory-assaulting expo to an altogether more sober-sounding business summit, the reason we're jetting off to Santa Monica isn't to scrutinize the changing face of the show; it's to bask in the glorious glare of games.
The question is - what are those games going to be? While we know that the majority of major industry players - including the big three console makers - are going to be in attendance, details regarding publisher show line-ups is practically non-existent. So, based on industry rumors and whispers and in the absence of solid information we've made an educated guess at what games might put in an appearance of some description. Some are dead certs and others are outside bets, but if at least some of the titles in our speculative list turn up, we should be in for a real good show. Sorry, summit.
