About Judy

As WP's managing editor, I edit review and preview articles, attempt to keep up with the frantic pace of Rainier's news posts, and keep our reviewers on deadline, which is akin to herding cats. When I have a moment to myself and don't have my nose in a book, I like to play action/RPG, adventure and platforming games.

E3 marks the public debut of two next-generation titles: Demonik, developed by Terminal Reality in collaboration with horror mastermind Clive Barker and Tiger Hill Games, and The Darkness, from award-winning development team, Starbreeze Studios, creators of The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay. Majesco is also showcasing several games based on high profile entertainment properties including Aeon Flux, Taxi Driver and Jaws Unleashed, developed by award-winning Appaloosa Interactive.

Majesco also has a full schedule of appearances and promotions planned for its E3 booth. In anticipation of the Memorial Day launch of Advent Rising, Majesco is offering E3 attendees a chance to win $5,000 as a precursor to the official start of its Advent Rising's "Race to Save Humanity" million dollar play-and-win contest which kicks off June 9th. Other booth highlights include: appearances by best selling author Clive Barker and Aeon Flux creator Peter Chung, an Infected deathmatch tournament on the PSP handheld system, multiple JAWS Unleashed "feeding times," Infected zombie "makeovers," and much more.

Representing its Videos product line, Majesco is showcasing key properties from Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, Disney Channel and others. Game Boy Advance Video utilizes Majesco's platform independent proprietary video compression technology that allows full-color, full-motion video to be viewed on the handheld system.

Majesco will also feature unique offerings from its Gadgets division, including the public introduction of Wireless TV Arcade.
