A Message From the Editor

Though my colleagues and I have been covering E3 for 10 years running, never before have we invested so much energy and planning into making our E3 coverage exceed your expectations and our own past standards. Our team of dedicated editors, reporters, and video producers is ready to take this event by storm. For those of you who can't make it in person, our aim is to make you feel as if you're there.

　　Our pledge is also to cut through all the hype--to give you an honest look at what's behind all the glamour and excitement, in addition to delivering that excitement to you through our coverage. On behalf of the GameSpot crew, we look forward to sharing this experience with you, and it'll be our privilege to serve you as we push ourselves to the limits.

　　Executive Editor

　　Six hundred-plus new games. Fifty reporters. Twenty-four hours of live video coverage. Three days. One event. Presenting GameSpot's plans for the 2005 Electronic Entertainment Expo.

　　The 2005 Electronic Entertainment Expo is imminent, and it promises to be a historic event for gaming. At GameSpot, our goal is to help see to that by providing you with the world's best, most comprehensive coverage yet of this important occasion. We hope you'll join us all throughout the week starting Sunday, May 15, for the following...

　　

E3 Live

GameSpot will be broadcasting live all throughout E3--every minute of every hour, for a total of more than 24 hours of live streaming video coverage. We'll feature product demos of newly announced games, developer interviews, competitions, and much, much more.

　　

Total Coverage

The latest and most news, previews, movies, and screenshots of hundreds of different games, including dozens of never-before-seen titles. Last year, we produced more than 1,000 stories, 1,300 movies, and 12,000 screens during E3.

　　

The Big Three

We mean Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo. The biggest players in video gaming will be making some exciting announcements during their respective press conferences on Monday and Tuesday before the show, and you'll be able to see them on GameSpot. Nintendo's press conference will be broadcast live.

　　

HD Quality

You can't find higher-quality game videos anywhere. Throughout E3, we'll be posting HD-quality videos of the hottest games. Want a sample? Check out our HD Movie Showcase,

　　download one, and see the difference.

　　We're pleased to offer you this special presentation of GameSpot's 2004 E3 documentary, which debuted on our E3 DVD set last year. Check it out for a look at how we rolled during last year's show. This year's DVD set promises to be even more spectacular! And stay tuned for details about our 2005 E3 DVD set...

　　

E3 2005 People's Choice & Editors' Choice Awards

What will be the biggest games of E3 2005? You tell us. And then, we'll tell the world. We'll be monitoring the most popular games of E3 in real time, and we'll declare the victors at the show. Then, on May 28, GameSpot will announce the winners of its annual E3 Editors' Choice Awards.

　　

One Destination

Why waste your time digging for E3 information? Our years of experience covering the show will be manifested in our best E3-dedicated pages ever. All the games and all the show highlights will be literally just a click away.

Our highest-quality downloadable game videos and our 24 hours of live broadcasting will be exclusively available to members of our GameSpot Complete service. GameSpot Complete members will also be invited to interact with our live show, by sending in their questions and having them answered on the spot!
