Tekken 5 hyper-ultra-confirmed and no returns, Time Crisis: Crisis Zone, Ace Combat 5, Taiko Drum Master, XenoSaga Episode II and all sorts of others join the E3 party.
Doom, COD: United Offensive, Rome: Total War, Vampire: Bloodlines - it's a mostly PC-flavoured line-up so far. But no The Movies, COD: Finest Hour or Tony Hawk?

Ubisoft unveiled its E3 line-up today, which includes the above titles and other recently announced projects like Brothers In Arms. But is this everything?
(Updated throughout the day.) New EverQuest expansion out in July, Majesco announces wireless GBA adapter, Virtua Fighter Quest video footage, and Marc Ecko's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure. Eh?
