As someone who works and PR and has experience in helping clients get the most out of exhibitions I would guess that the reason they are not listed is because CCP did not fill out all the necessary marketing forms in advance of the show.
Normally when you agree to exhibt at any kind of trade show you receive bundles of forms to fill in. This usually includes a free entry/listing in the 'show' guide.
The deadline on returning these forms can often be several months in advance of the show and it is amazing how many businesses miss this simple opportunity.
In addition most shows also offer a variety of other potential 'publicity' windows to exhibitors (i.e. speaking slots/sponsorships etc.) but again these have to be jumped on fast. Free speaking slots in particular are hard to obtain (unless you are Bill Gates) without actually nagging the show organisers a long way in advance of the show to establish your credentials (sometimes up to a year in advance).
A lot depends about when CCP booked the stand. If it was done last minute then it is not surprising they missed out on a lot of the in-show PR.
A lot also depends on the capabilities of the PR support before and during the show in terms of setting up advance interviews/meetings - badgering the in-show newspaper (if one exists) and generally doing your best to get heard over the general publicity 'noise' (I don't mean that literally).
A lot of businesses think that shows/exhibitions are the best time to launch new products - but we actually normally advise against this because unless you are launching something HUGE (i.e. Wii) your announcement will only get swallowed up and lost amongst all the other announcements.
Hopefully if EVE's PR has been doing its job they will have been introducing new journalists to the game and getting them interested. The contacts should be maintained and followed up after the show as they are then more open to the product and more likely to do 'feature' articles rather than just news in brief snippets...

Im just curious if Edge or Games.Tm is taking notice.
Would be cool if CCP posted some info, but I guess they do it when they got the time for it.

Woot, more diary updates, at last! Was getting worried that you guys had heart attacks or something after the problems with the database upgrade.
 Originally by: Hammerhead (Day 3 in the morning)
Lets see, Battlefield 2142 looks awesome and I can't wait for it. The next Dawn of War expansion is looking really nice as well. I thought Huxley was going to be really exciting but it just felt like any other FPS deathmatch game with a whole lot of respwaning. BF2142 is where it's at for FPS. I was looking forward to Chromehounds but when I played it it was kind of boring. You were driving towards the enemy for a long time and not getting enough action. I didn't get a chance to play with the Wii yet. I still gotta check out UT2007. Today is "booth babe photo day". ActiveAlli and I are going to grab some shots of the local wildlife and hopefully have that up somewhere on the Web site. More to come.......
Meh, BF2142 is just more EA slop. I'm keeping my eyes on Enemy Territory: Quake Wars myself.
Keep the updates rolling, and pics asap. Really interested to see what the EVE booth actually looks like.

And so are you Keiron and all the other CCP people at the show (my heros), make sure that everyone attending the show knows what we already do, that EVE is the best MMO out there!

Why does this picture from the DEMO section have what looks like someone shooting a gun inside what looks like a spaceship/station?
Something you're not telling us? 
EDIT NVM I recognise it as old artwork now

Edge 4tw. GamesTM on the other hand, gawd I hope not. I stopped buying that magazine last year (been reading since issue 3).
From the amount of reviews and articles published, they have their collective heads rammed up Nintendo's arse waay too far to be considered objective. 
I can see a review of EVE on their part being seen as too slow or obscure. And lacking elves and plumbers and fluffy pink blobs and so on.

Apologies for the lack of Dev Diary entries, between manning the booth, the hardware deployment shutting down the forums (and Dev Blog), and all the networking going o, there just hasn't been time. I've been averaging 5 hours of sleep, something not condusive to coherent posts or blogs.
Picture of the booth are up and again, I apologize for the picture quality. The cell phone camera is nice for convenience, but not good for imaging.

Dont worry about that. Just make sure EVE is seen and heard within the industry

I just got from talking to kieron, and got goosebumps with what I've been told. I'm typing it up now to post at E3.stratics.com, and will come back here....
... I'll just say, they are FINALLY doing anything to help the Eve-Addicts out there to get them away from their computers!!!

Ok folks, let me skip the foreplay and just tell you the best damn thing I saw.
To make it clear - ITS ONLY IN TESTING. THERE IS NO TIMEFRAME FOR WHEN ITS READY.
Eve-Online on your PDA Phone. Go ahead and change your skill training and manage market orders wherever you have a phone signal.
I got to see it on kieron's Team Mobile, and pretty soon, that's what ALL the cool kids are going to have.
Anyhow, here's the rest of what I had to say about what I saw - At Stratics !
Now I'm running back over and partake in the yearly "take pictures with every single booth babe". Hopefully this year I wont be run off from the entrance to the womens restrooms!

Any of the EVE fan base at E3, can I make a request?
Can you stop by "The Creative Assembly" booth and maybe find out about the new Total War series?!?!?
I think its "Medieval 2 Total War"

I went and checked out gears of war like I said I would and it was just a trailer. I didn't get past the quake wars queue to check it out, sorry.

A grand time was had by all. I'm actually wondering if I have inadvertly stumbled into any other community members during the hours spent in the eve booth. Thanks to Oveur and a special thanks to hammerhead as well for allowing me to quizz him and enduring far too much rambling on my part.
See the lot of you at the next fanfest.

You forgot EVE is a PC game, G4TV is 98% console.
Its the reason I dont watch that channel anymore.

Quote:
Other updates that include Combat Boosters available from COSMOS, Combat Organization, and Factional Warfare were all interesting as well, but dwarf what is currently in testing. Players will finally be able to break away from their computers and go outside, or even get a fix while at work in a few minutes if they have a wireless PDA! KieronĘs Team Mobile PDA Phones (pretty soon all the cool kids will have one) is able log into Eve-Online, and conduct market orders or change skill training. To reiterate, itĘs only in testing ū and there is not estimated timeframe for release, and they are testing it for a wide variety of PDA phones.
This sounds pretty sweet, I just can't wait to be able to change skills on my PsP when I'm away from home! CCP will have support for this for PsP's right, they better!!
