Each year, the video game industry converges in Los Angeles for the Electronic Entertainment Expo. With game-changing hardware and games being showcased by the three pillars of the industry, Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft, this year’s E3 proved to be one of the biggest yet.
Sony impressed attendees with demonstrations of 3D gaming on the Playstation 3, and while its upcoming motion controller was the talk of the town last year, the Playstation Move seemed to take a backseat to Sony’s 3D gaming.
Nintendo introduced exciting new takes on classic franchises, such as Zelda, Kirby, and Donkey Kong, but what stole everyone’s attention was the new Nintendo 3DS handheld gaming system. Eager attendees stood in what was easily the longest line in the entire expo just to spend a few minutes with the 3DS.
Microsoft introduced a sleeker and smaller Xbox 360 console, and featured it for every game demo station in its booth. In addition, Kinect, Microsoft’s motion input camera device (formerly, Project Natal), was available for demonstrations along with a host of first and third-party titles.
Numerous other publishers and developers also had excellent showings including Bethesda, THQ, Capcom, Ubisoft, EA, Sega, Disney, and many more.
