by Rainier on Jan. 1, 2006 @ 1:30 a.m. PST | Filed under E3 - Pre - E3 2005
Genre: Console
Publisher: SCEA
Developer: Sony & IBM
Release Date: Spring 2006

Genre: MMORPG
Publisher: TBA
Developer: Perpetual Entertainment

Every in-game performance is judged by a computer-generated Simon Cowell, and there may be some very familiar Idols faces at Codemasters' E3 booth too...
Codemasters will also unveil the next level for its power-brand games including Colin McRae Rally, Operation Flashpoint and LMA Manager.
