(TBS, Inc.), will showcase its record setting arsenal of on-demand content at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) with live daily webcasts, real-time interviews between Space Ghost and some of the gaming industry's biggest stars, an exclusive preview of the trailer for Sam & Max (the first game to premiere on GameTap before being available for retail), a tantalizing glimpse at the coming revival of "Uru Live," and access to the network's milestone- setting collection of games and shows. Turner will showcase GameTap at E3, May 10-12th in the Los Angeles Convention Center, Booth #1078. "This year at E3, GameTap is showcasing how we've cornered the broadband entertainment space when it comes to the video game lifestyle market," said Stuart Snyder, GameTap's General Manager. "While on-demand games and television on the net continue to soar in popularity, GameTap is the only company to successfully marry the two with the milestones to prove it." At GameTap's booth, there will be an array of media-centric events to immerse attendees in the network's content, including: - Space Ghost Coast to Coast live tapings: The most prominent spectacle will be live tapings of the popular Space Ghost show in which a cartoon Space Ghost will interview game industry luminaries, executives, and media influencers. A few lucky booth visitors will be interviewed by Space Ghost himself. And while supplies last, visitors can obtain special Space Ghost collectible posters and have them signed at the booth. Gamers, publishers, and media can watch the tapings live on the GameTap stage or network subscribers can view them streamed online on GameTap TV. - Sam & Max Trailer: A trailer of the new Sam & Max game will be shown at the booth throughout the day. The trailer will highlight the all new, episodic game that will debut on the GameTap network. Booth visitors can take a GameTap Aptitude Test to receive a special Sam & Max poster signed by creator Steve Purcell. They can also sign up for a chance to win an Alienware Computer. - "Uru Live": GameTap and Cyan Worlds are reviving the online foray into "Myst," the top-selling video game franchise of the 1990s, with new episodic worlds created in real-time 3D. Stop by for a peek at this revered title, which is scheduled to debut on GameTap this holiday season. - Street Fighter Week: Kicking off prior to E3 and continuing throughout the course of the conference, GameTap is adding a slew of games from Capcom's legendary Street Fighter series to the network alongside the "Ultimate Street Fighter Gift Pack" giveaway (see rules and prize information at GameTap.com). Among the games featured are Street Fighter(R) Alpha, Street Fighter(R) Alpha 3, Street Fighter(R) II Turbo: Hyper Fighting, and Super Street Fighter(R) II: The New Challengers. - New Games and Content: Attendees will have unlimited hands-on time with the GameTap network to view the entire collection of video game and programming content. "This E3 is really a breakthrough show for GameTap. We are premiering exclusive content, working with top-notch developers, and unveiling new GameTap TV shows along with a wide range of activities at our booth. We are further distancing ourselves from the pack as the leader in this exciting, growing space," says David Reid, GameTap's Vice President of Marketing. In addition to booth activities, GameTap will be the marquee sponsor of the "Into the Pixel 2006" Art Exhibition at E3 which celebrates computer and video game art.
