There is always so much happening a lot of things are sometimes overlooked. Especially this year with PS2 coming into its own, X-Box and GameCube on the brink and GBA just weeks away!! What are you going to be most interested in??
PS2 will have a huge catalogue of forthcoming blockbusters and epics. Maybe the odd surprise here and there and a chance to realy see what the machine is capable of.
X-Box I feel has a lot of work to do in order to win people over. There is no denying that its one hell of a piece of kit but can it really compete??
Nintendo should steal the show with two new consoles. The GBA is rapidly replacing the old Game Boy and will surely in time become the bestest selling console ever.
The GameCube - What can I say!! I dont know what to expect but if the demos from last year are a sign of things to come then we are in for a real treat!!
The games, the most important part!! 36 GameCube titles are reprted to be shown. Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong and Rogue Squadron II. This will no doubt be the main talking point and for me one of the highlights. I cant even begin to imagine Zelda or Mario in 128 bit glory!! As for the other titles, lets hope there a glimpse of Wave Race 128, Metroid, Super Smash Bros 2, Turok 4, etc...
THQ will host a huge selection of games, none more exciting than WWF titles. They will have four wrestling titles to show off for the first time, which I cant wait for especially the PS2 and GBA versions!!
We may not see much of Metal Gear Solid 2 but there are plenty of other treats in store for PS2 owners, as with Dreamcast owners. Shenmue 2, Virtua Tennis 2, Crazy Taxi 2, Sonic 2, who said its a bad thing to have sequel after sequel??
Microsoft have a big say in all of this also. It will take some doing at the moment to convince me into buying an X-Box. Not that I have anything against the machine I just cant see anything it can do that the PS2 cant, obviously apart from slightly better graphics!!
So much to look forward to in such a short ammount of time. This will be the best show for many a year with a real battle of the next generation market. This is one show I cant wait for!! Bring it on!!
Bah. No updates on MY computer, mateo.

OI!! You think that just because I don't post often means that I don't READ often?
You won't get away with it!!!! I shall have my Rewenge!!!!
*phone's Microsoft to see if they won't do a little extra something for Grix next time he tries to get a Windows Update*
where as the GC's controller may have built in memory, and the GC has virtually no loading times.... roll on E3

Don't we all?
But mostly I would say Smackdown 3,Exterminator (looks very interesting) and Devil May Cry.
It will also be interesting to see how the GameCube fares...
DITCH IT!! DITCH IT!!!
Only joking, :D
