You know how I said things were a sleepy time on Day 2? Day 3 is generally known for that, and the last day of the biggest expo for the industry was no exception. One could generally hear a pin drop outside from all the clamoring fans and large hardware blaring game music and bounding …

New Trailer for Gotham City Impostors
A new trailer for Gotham City Impostors, an online Call of Duty clone set in the DC universe, was just released at E3. And boy does it look underwhelming. The graphics are nowhere near Call of Duty quality, and you don’t even get to play as a real superhero. Instead, you develop a civilian character …

E3 Reaction Shots Day Two – Sony..Kind of? (Part 3 of 4)
The next day, we start to taper down and that’s not quite normal. This could be from a number of factors that are, quite frankly, realistic and necessary to consider for the Electronic Enterainment Expo. One such issue is the economy’s weakness putting down a damper on the convention and the designers who could …

E3 Roundup Reaction Shots – Day One (Nintendo, Part 2 or 4)
Nintendo held the spotlight on Day One, much like it did last year when it blew everyone out of the water with every game the players could have asked for. When those games were released, mind you, there was a choice amount of letting down through hype but that tends to happen. The earthquake …

E3 2011: Nintendo Press Conference
Good morning I hope you got plenty of sleep after yesterday’s cavalcade of news because we still have Nintendo to deal with. Nintendo had one of the best conferences last year with the 3DS official announcement and it seems they’re going to try to duplicate that success here with whatever the hell “Project Cafe” turns out to …

E3 2011: Sony Press Conference
Alright last conference of the day, let’s see what Sony has for us. We’ve had a decent showing from the bigger publishers today but Sony’s direct rival Microsoft’s conference was fairly lackluster pushing motion controls down their customers throats. Here’s hoping Sony is a little better also we’ll be showing a live stream of this conference (thanks Playstation Blog) instead of …

E3 2011: Ubisoft Press Conference
Ubisoft time, EA had a good show but I have a sliver of hope that Ubisoft can follow it up in a way I’ll enjoy. The real question is will I enjoy it for the games or for the doubtless poor choices in what will be on stage; will it be James cameron talking for …

E3 2011: Microsoft Press Conference Live Blog
Hello everyone, good morning and welcome to the very first of the four press conferences we’ll be live blogging throughout the day. The first conference always sets the tone for the show (and sometimes the year) so let’s see what Microsoft is leading us off with this year. 8:23 It’s too damn early, what are …
