Not only are Britsoft publisher planning a few 'big surprises' for next week's gaming expo in LA, on top of an impressive line-up of titles on display, the firm will even be inviting the public to share in their offerings through a specially designed dedicated area of their website. Codemasters.com/e3live be updated as the show progresses with a the latest news from the publisher, but a live video feed will even offer browsers a taste of the Codies E3 experience - not a bad bit of marketing, we have to concede.

Elsewhere, and the Codies show line-up isn't looking too shabby either, with the new Colin McRae, Soldiers: Heroes of WWII, Dragon Empires, Perimeter and Wartime Command perhaps being the most notable titles in the publisher's range on show. Of course, we fully expect a raft of new announcements to be forthcoming as well.

More from the Codemasters at E3 next week, then.
