With May nearly around the corner now is just about the time where the first real E3 news surfaces, beginning (of course) with suspected company line-ups as well as titles already marked for the show floor. We've compiled a convenient listing for you of the more interesting offerings that companies have either already confirmed or the industry (eagerly) anticipates will make an appearance. Think of this as a pre-listing of sorts. When the "official" line-ups start rolling in we'll be sure to post those and update this one in turn.

The exuberant amount of sequels doesn't surprise me, but a few other titles did catch me off guard, including the Aladdin title, The Godfather title, a new Oddworld game (which will hopefully do better than the last one), Mark of Kri 2, and a possible Champions of Norrath 2.

Square's offering appears, at least on the surface, to be a strong one littered with Final Fantasy goodies, Front Mission's presence, and the showing of Advent Children. The possibility of a new online RPG for them sounds intriguing too, and the Dragon Quest games should be in effect.

Though no one can judge until the official line-ups make the headlines, companies Capcom, EA, Konami, Namco, Nintendo, Sega, Sony, Square Enix, and Vivendi will most likely be sporting the largest amount of goods, and Microsoft and Activision possibly the most interesting titles.
