 What: Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) is an annual trade exhibition, for all video game studios, developers and publishers to showcase their upcoming games, and to announce exciting future releases. Oh, and boobs. 'Booth Babes' as they're frequently refered to are a prominant part of E3. Games n Boobs. Together, at last. Where: The LACC. Los Angeles Convention Centre. United States of America. Earth. When: The exhibition runs from June 15th through to June 17th this year. Los Angeles is in the PDT timezone, which puts it at -8h GMT. Why? It's like Christmas. But better. I was going to say it had less religious meaning behind it, but some people take their games very seriously... Edited by Andsy, Jun 14 2010, 04:15 AM.

Discussion: So guys, please use this thread as discussion for the whole event. Please don't create multiple threads for each single announcement. Keep it all in this thread. Pre-event... What are you hoping to see? Any surprises you're hoping for? I'm just really psyched for ZELDA. OH. MY. GOSH. Edited by Andsy, Jun 14 2010, 04:30 AM.

Nintendo seem set to be the stars of E3 (as usual), I can't wait to see this 3DS, the new Zelda and.. vitality sensor? Sony really need to impress with this "new hardware" too. I'm sure it's going to be their answer to Kinect (what a dumb name). |

Man, I had such high hopes for Project Natal, but Microsoft ruined it. Plus, what kind of name is Kinect? "Hey dude, guess what? I just spent $100 on Kinect!" "That's Awesome! Let's go play!" Not. |
Get free games just for searching the internet.

I really wish all these motion based controls would disappear. Wii got dull extremely quick. I didn't like Sony's use of Sixaxis when it came out, and I doubt I'll like Move. As for Project Natal / Kinect. No. Just... No. |

I just watched the "Kinect" on Good Morning America. Was kind of impressed, but it seems like a gimmick, I mean there are only so many movements and stuff you can do before you're going to need...what are those things called? OH YEAH! CONTROLLERS AND BUTTONS! |

I'll be amending and editting the original posts as the news rolls out. If the mods can edit my posts as well, covering any omissions I may have made, it'd be greatly appreciated. If anyone has any details they think should be added to the original posts, lemme know and I'll be happy to include it. I'm also on the lookout for a good live coverage source. |

That's AWESOME! I'm really excited. The whole role-playing shooter genre has really grown on me. Games like BioShock, Fallout 3, and Borderlands are some of my favorite games this generation, and that means a lot coming from me, as I hate most shooters. |

I'm finding it so difficult to get enthuistic about Fallout New Vegas. On one hard, it's made by some of the creators of one of my favourite games of all time. On the other hand, Bethesda are still at the reins. I really don't understand why people like Bethesda's games. Both Oblivion and Fallout 3 were so flawed, anything they did positively, they had 2 other things drowning them into mediocrity. |

I am definitely stoked for the new Assassin's Creed, Fable, Golden Sun and Zelda games being announced. I wonder what the surprise game announcements will be. |

This E3's going to be awesome. Hopefully nothing happens to me that takes all my time away from Nintendo's and Sony's media briefing.

I agree, Bethesda does need to fix the bugs and everything, but the games are still great, granted you get to play them. |
