If there’s one thing I’ve looked forward to every year it’s the Electronic Entertainment Expo, or E3. Back in the day it was the biggest event of the year for us gamers. It was like the circus rolled into town and allowed everybody to join the show. That lasted for about ten years until they decided to make it invitation only and toned down the epicness of the event in ’07 and ’08. Then in ’09 they opened the doors again and managed to increase their attendance and overall awesomeness by a hell of a lot.
What amazes me the most about this event is that they roll out these new products like they’re the cure for cancer and everybody loses their minds. Today I watched the keynote address for Microsoft and almost needed a new pair of pants after watching themreveal the new and improved XBOX 360 live. It is rare for me to get that excited over something, but when they’re revealing details on Fable III, Dead Space 2, Star Wars: The Old Republic and Force Unleashed 2, Rock Band 3, Fallout 3, Dead Rising 2 and a bunch of other things, it is really difficult not to get excited.
The best part of E3 is that it is a three day event that runs almost non-stop. Before the first day of the expo there were already previews and demos being released FROM the expo. If I ever get a chance to go to E3 I’d be there in a heartbeat. But enough of me gushing over why I love it…time to watch a live demo of Dead Rising 2.
