Back in the PlayStation 1 days, E3 was a totally happening event, full of game demos, elaborate booth designs and tons of freebies.  Each year since then, it has dwindled in size, finally bottoming out a couple years ago to relatively small airplane hangar in Santa Monica.  Fortunately, E3 has returned to its roots as a sensory overload event.  Each platform had something new to brag about.  The XBOX Kinect motion controller was a big hit, with ridiculous lines to try it.  The new Nintendo DS booth was so jammed with people; you had to wait just to get in and then wait again to play anything.   The PlayStation Move controller will also be a fun addition for PS3 owners, and will be instantly familiar to those familiar with the Wii.  Each exhibitor clearly didn’t cheap out on their booth designs, with special effects, costumes and elaborate architecture.  It was a great time and well worth the time and train ride downtown.  See you next year!

Another Comic-Con has come and gone and I have to say, it’s just getting way too big for its own good. I remember a time when you could leisurely roam the exhibit hall at your own pace. But now there are more people than ever before packing the hall. See More
