May 17, 2001 — Video Business ran an
article on the 14th on some of the games that can be found at E3. In
there were a couple of games that were drawn from some movie coming
out this summer. Here is what they had to say along to the story on
the movie. A special thanks to Squirk for finding this huge piece of
news!
It's springtime, so once again the gamers are ready to gather
for E3 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. There's much in play
this year: Xbox, GameCube and Game Boy Advance are on your doorstep,
and PlayStation 2 is prepping for its second holiday season.
Hollywood is bringing Mission: Impossible 2, The Terminator, The Lord
of the Rings, The Matrix, Harry Potter, Driven, La Femme Nikita and
Batman Vengeance to a console near you. Tomb Raider and Final Fantasy
are going the other way, from game to the big screen this
summer.
More than 750 PC, console and online videogames will be on
display at this week's show. What's a retailer to do? Have no fear,
we've got the games you've got to have...

After releasing a GBC version simultaneously with the May 4
theatrical release, UIS will ship this PS2 game simultaneously with
the expected October home video release. This third-person
action-adventure allows players to fight the Scorpion King as hero
Rick O'Connell or bad guy Imhotep...
The next-generation batch of games will bring more realism to
the ring while including all the wrestlers, moves and antics that
make the TV shows and pay-per-view specials so popular. |
