New GameSpy LiveWire Chats Let Game Fans, for the First Time, Interact
Directly With Video Game Industry Giants on the Show Floor
Irvine, Calif. - May 12, 2003 - GameSpy Industries will be hosting GameSpy
LiveWire - a series of live, interactive audio, graphic and text chats
from the trade show floor - at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3),
May 14 - 16, 2003, giving gamers the opportunity to interact directly for
the first time with the biggest newsmakers at the show.
The GameSpy LiveWire chats will feature video game business icons talking
and taking questions about breaking news and cool new games, as well as
discussions on hot topics in the industry such as trends in online gaming.
Gamers can check out screenshots and graphics from the most highly anticipated

GameSpy editors, alongside top entertainment technology radio personality
David Lawrence, will host the chats. Confirmed guests include legendary
designers Peter Molyneux and Randy Pitchford who will showcase their much-heralded
new titles Black and White 2 and Halo (for the PC), respectively. Will
Wright, the creator of The Sims, will also be a guest, to discuss what's
coming in The Sims 2.
The chats also will include daily morning and mid-afternoon editorial roundtables,

day, and then come back to recap their daily picks.
