There are many ways people try to explain the experience that is E3, but no amount of words, pictures or video can truly convey how awesome it actually is. Regardless, we will do our best to show you some of the highlights from this 3 day video game extravaganza. Check back in the next few weeks, we’ll continue to post articles, game reviews, and interviews with developers from the event.




The press makes an incredibly big deal about this event every year, and 2010 was no disappointment. Both halls were completely decked out in booths that touched the ceiling, from live zombies in cages to an epic performance by Method Man and Redman, there was enough action to keep a kid with attention deficit disorder stimulated for months.









The South Hall was filled with huge displays and booths, but the biggest one by far was the Kinect exhibit, showcasing Microsoft’s new Xbox peripheral, previously known as ‘Natal’. Kinect captures all movements of the body, and we saw this utilized in a dancing game, an adventure platformer, and a game where you pretended to be a tiger cub.





Nintendo showcased their new 3DS at the event, set to be released in 2011, prepare to ask your parents for next year's birthday present now.





We met with Valve to check out Portal 2. Our journey began a few weeks ago when they announced the cancelation of the official Portal 2 event, which was to be replaced by a 'surprise'. I contacted the Special Envoy to Surprises, Doug Lombardi, and we set up a private meeting to see Portal 2. What we saw blew our minds! We’ll tell you all about it soon.

The Dead Rising 2 booth was easy to spot: chainsaws duct-taped to a motorcycle, a cage with live zombies in it, and people handing out zombie-rights brochures. Dennis knew some people so he got us in the back area to try out all the new Capcom stuff: Dead Rising 2, Marvel vs Capcom 3, and Okami 2.



Stay tuned for more in depth articles on E3 this week!
