Games based on films are always a big deal

Sony is also expected to unveil a brand new PlayStation 2 called the PStwo - a smaller, cooler and cheaper version of their hit games machine.

Who knows - we may even get a really early peak at PlayStation 3 and Xbox 2!

But none of this red-hot hardware matters without the games - and over 1,000 new titles will be on display at E3.

Games based on movies are big business, and developers will be showing off game versions of Spider-Man 2, Van Helsing, Spongebob: The Movie and Pixar's The Incredibles.

There are tons of Star Wars games - E3 is sure to have some new ones

Other big names at the show will be Transformers, yet another Star Wars title and the sequel to the best-selling PC game ever (and a big favourite of you lot) The Sims 2.

Fans of Digimon will also be well catered for with Digimon Racing, Digimon Rumble Arena 2 and Digimon World 4.

Nintendo is bringing a collection of games to the Game Boy Advance that first appeared on their 1980's console, the NES - including Super Mario Bros, Donkey Kong, The Legend of Zelda and Pac-Man - while their pint-sized plumber will also appear in Mario Golf and Mario Tennis.

One of the biggest games of the show is expected to be the sequel to the smash-hit adventure, Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.

Joystick junkies should keep their browsers hovering over Newsround's website from 12-15 May - we'll let you know what's hot and what's not, straight from Los Angeles.
