Attracting an unprecedented array of Hollywood's brightest film and television stars as well as returning cast members from the 1983 classic film, the hotly-anticipated game will plunge players deep into the seedy underbelly of 1980s Miami as they rebuild Tony Montana's empire and seek vengeance on his enemies. Vivendi Games' Sierra Entertainment has unveiled part of the A-list talent that will help bring drug-lord Tony Montana's criminal empire to life in the upcoming video game Scarface: The World Is Yours.
For historical accuracy in chronicling E3, such games will be listed with their original names and publishers, and linked to the corresponding page of the final game.Includes Al Pacino, James Wood, Robert Loggia, Oliver Platt and many more! In several situtations, games either changed their title or even their publisher before they were released. An example of this would be a hardware company such as Nintendo or nVidia showing a game not developed or published by them. They are listed mainly according to the publisher of the game, with a few exceptions where the publisher did not attend the show. This would include video presentations, announcements, advertisements, or any other official reference to the game from its developer, publisher, or platform. The games listed below not only include those playable on the show floor, but any game referenced at the show. Other notable games on the floor for E3 2006 were Crysis, Rainbow Six Vegas, Spore, LocoRoco, God of War II, Okami, The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, Guitar Hero II, New Super Mario Bros., Final Fantasy XII, Supreme Commander, Too Human, and Metroid Prime 3. As if Kojima wasn't surprising enough fans with this trailer, Solid Snake also made his debut in the trailer of Super Smash Bros. Konami once again had attendees stopping in their tracks with their Metal Gear Solid 4 trailer, which had the shocking ending of Snake's apparent suicide. One game that quickly garnered a lot of discussion, but was not playable on the floor, was Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed. Microsoft, having a jump start on the competition, focused completely on blockbuster titles such as Halo 3, Mass Effect, Blue Dragon, Crackdown, Fable 2, Forza Motorsport 2, Dead Rising, and the earth shattering announcement that Grand Theft Auto IV would be coming to Xbox 360. Sony stunned many attendees with the announcement that the system would retail for $599.99 in the United States. Titles such as Gran Turismo, Resistance: Fall of Man, Heavenly Sword, Heavy Rain, Motorstorm, and Warhawk were all playable and showcased the power of the new hardware along with some implementation of the all-new Sixaxis controllers.
Not far behind though was Sony's full unveiling of the PlayStation 3, which was much more easily accessible on the show floor in comparison to the Wii. The Wii was easily the hottest thing at the show this year. The line on the floor to get a hands on demo of 27 different Wii titles reached upwards of five hours long. Titles like Wii Sports, Super Mario Galaxy, Red Steel, and a Wii version of Twilight Princess showed that there were all new ways to play games. The motion controllers that set the system apart were the primary focus of Nintendo's press conference. Many thought, or hoped, it to be a joke, but it was not. Nintendo confused the industry as a whole a few days prior to the show by officially naming their new console the Wii.
And aside from the consoles, there was the PSP and DS, which had both been out for less than a year at that point and were each featuring an excellent lineup of titles. The Xbox 360 was about to enter its second year on shelves and the PlayStation 3 and Wii were just a few months from joining the party. For what appeared to be the last show of its kind, E3 went out with a bang in 2006 thanks to an onslaught of next-gen content that swarmed the show floor. E3 2006 was the final "real" E3 before the event went to a smaller scale event.
