Dragon Empires — as Codemasters reveals its stellar line up
of new titles debuting at this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3),
May 14-16th at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

With a blockbuster line up of console and PC games at its E3 booth (#746 in
the South Hall), Codemasters’ makes its most significant industry statement
to date with a larger show floor presence, and more game announcements, unveilings
and surprises than ever before. . .

American Idol is destined to be the mass-market game of the
year for PlayStation 2 and PC. The game will be exclusively showcased on a special-themed
stage in the booth. Codemasters will challenge E3 attendees to see how well
they can perform as virtual American Idol singers as they control the in-game
voice of a contestant through music-based rhythm-action gameplay. Every in-game
performance is evaluated by computer-generated judges Simon Cowell,
Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson. There may even be some very
familiar Idols faces showing up at Codemasters’ E3 booth, too.

Codemasters will also take its power-brand games up another level with new
titles from the Colin McRae Rally and Operation Flashpoint franchises.

Premiering exclusively at E3 is Codemasters’ Battlefield Command,
the intense World War II tactical RTS for PC. Also playable at the show will
be the latest preview builds of the mighty MMORPG Dragon Empires
for PC, complete with its stunning new landscape engine, and Operation
Flashpoint on Xbox.

Codemasters,” said Mike Hayes, Codemasters’ Group Marketing
Director. “We’re premiering new titles for some of the biggest
game franchises, introducing groundbreaking original games and promise some
