One of our newest writers, Antares, will be attending the Electronics Entertainment Expo 2005. He will have the opportunity to speak with and interview many of the top names in the gaming hardware and software industry as well as get a sneak peak at up comming products. If there is anything that anyone would like him to investigate while on his upcomming trip, please post it here. It will help give him ideas for articles.

Ideas? The list of companies that will be at E3 can be found here.

My initial thoughts are for Antares to visit :
1.)Sony's booth and find out as much about PS3 as possible.
2.)Microsoft's booth to find out about Xbox 2
3.)nVidia's booth to find out about the upcomming 7XXX series of graphics cards
4.)ATI's booth to find out about their next generation of video card
5.)Blizzard Entertainment's booth to see what they have planned for WoW and Starcraft: Ghost.

1. Either all of the PS3 and Xbox 2 info is going to be given at the big press conference or behind closed doors so you're not really going to get a scoop on that.
2. Go to Ubisoft's booth on the 18th at noon.
