Will this year's E3 be a big one for gamers?
Yeah, definitely. Nearly every E3 is huge, and as far as I can remember, none have really been disappointing. There is always surprises and cool game footage.

Which system will have the biggest showing? Which one(s) will look pale in comparison?
I would say PS2 on personal reasons (RPGs), but on a larger view... I would say it's a tie between PS2 and Xbox. PS2 has big hitters like Jak 2, Silent Hill 3, Castlevania, MGS3 probably, GT4, most likely the next GTA game, I would expect Onimusha 3 to be there, Final Fantasy X-2, Final Fantasy XI, Final Fantasy XII, Star Ocean 3, and tons more. Then there's Xbox... very impressive. Halo 2, Fable, B.C., True Fantasy Live, whatever Rare has planned (I heard they had three games in development), and more.

GCN has a strong lineup, with games such as Mario 128, Mario Kart, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, Harvest Moon AWL, Resident Evil 4, and a few others... but IMO it doesn't relly stand up to PS2 and Xbox.

Which development team will wow us the most?
Hmm. You know, if Konami would announce something to do with Suikoden (re-stock Suikoden 1, fix the small problems Suikoden 2 has and re-stock that too, or something like that), then that would easily make my day. Alos because of MGS3, Castlevania, Silent Hill 3, and I'd like to see how that Ninja Turtles game turns out, so Konami could easily put out the biggest show.

Although, second would be Square/Enix. FF11, FFX-2, FF12, Star Ocean 3, Drag-On Dragoon, Unlimited Saga, plus let's hope for Kingdom Hearts 2 and Chrono 3. I would say Square/Enix, but there doesn't seem to be much variety there, even though I love RPGs.

Will you fall under the spell of the media?
Hmm... seeing as I do nothing but play games and go on my PC... I would say yes.
