Microsoft Corp. will continue breaking ground in the computer gaming arena next week, as Games for Windows® establishes its presence at the interactive entertainment industry’s largest trade show, the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3). The new Games for Windows booth will showcase platform-defining titles for Windows and make Microsoft the first company to host two booths in the South Hall of the Los Angeles Convention Center. The booth (No. 968) will feature 20 games from the hottest publishers in the industry, including Electronic Arts Inc., Atari Inc. and Sony Online Entertainment Inc.

“By concentrating all these great games in a single location, you can get an immediate sense of the excitement happening on Windows,” said Dean Lester, general manager of Windows Graphics and Gaming Technologies at Microsoft. “These titles represent just a small sample of the incredible innovation developers are bringing to the Windows platform — a platform that delivers deep, detailed experiences.”
