E3Expo 2006 is over. = Not only do=20 we have excellent information coming from members of = the=20 SimHQ Staff, but there is far too much information = to list=20 in daily news from other sources. So I came up with = a=20 hitting the highlights format to provide links to = some of=20 the best places for trailers, screens, and=20 information.

FilePlanet has=20 their list of downloadable trailers from = E3.

GameSpy has=20 their dedicated E3 2006=20 page.

I hope that will = change=20 within the next week or two. IGN does have their own preview = also,=20 including a few screenshots.

My final top three = pick is Medieval 2: Total War. The = follow up to=20 the fantastic Rome: Total War is coming. They have = updated=20 the official web site with new screens, wallpaper, = and video=20 clips. GameSpot has their E3 = impressions of the=20 game. Worthplaying has some = screenshots of the=20 game.

Not=20 from E3: =
