iGames and LTB Audio Systems to Bring Game Center Action to E3

April 2005— iGames and LTB Audio Systems, the leading maker of True 5.1 Surround Sound headphones, today announced that they will be bringing the competitive spirit of game centers to the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), May 17-20, with a host of special competitions. These events will include the Kornelia Challenge 2, an exclusive DOOM 3 tournament that will pit show-goers against Kornelia, a top-seeded PC gamer and the world’s #1 ranked female Quake player, in addition to exclusive competitions featuring VU Games’ FlatOut on PC and NovaLogic’s Delta Force: Black Hawk Down on Xbox.

As the halls of the LA Convention center thunder with the latest and greatest in interactive entertainment, those truly in the know will be sure to check out Booth Kentia 7604, where the Kornelia 2 Competition will rage on for the duration of the games industry’s most eagerly anticipated annual gathering.

Organized and sponsored by LTB Audio Systems, the tournament will pit the “Queen of Quake” in a death-match competition exclusively showcasing revolutionary LTB’s True 5.1 Surround sound wireless headphones and state-of-the-art S3 Graphics 3D video cards. Gamers with the skills to go the distance with Kornelia on id Software’s sci-fi horror masterpiece will receive prizes courtesy of LTB and S3. For everyone else, there will be engrossing gameplay, free T-shirts and an exclusive showcase of FlatOut from VU Games and Delta Force: Black Hawk Down from NovaLogic.

“Our goal for this year’s E3 wasn’t simply to tell everyone in the interactive entertainment industry how great iGames is, but to show them with this program of special events that highlights the pro-social values of community and friendly competition that is the iGames game center experience,” said Mark Nielsen, Executive Director of iGames. “We are especially proud to be partnered with a cutting-edge company like LTB, in addition to receiving the continued support of VU Games and NovaLogic, companies who truly understand what iGames means to gamers and the games industry as a whole.”

“We are very excited to be offering our new LTB True 5.1 Surround sound headphones at this year’s show”, added Jon Miller, Vice President of LTB Audio. “We know that these products will change how gamers experience interactive entertainment and as an iGames member organization, we can’t think of a better partner to help us showcase its value in such an important forum as E3.”
