E3 2011 Review

Posted on Aug 6, 2011 in Events and attached to E3 2011 Predictions

Well, E3 was a few months ago, and I promised that I'd post a follow-up to my predictions - so here it is! E3 wasn't totally amazing, but it was better than last year, in my opinion. Of course the biggest news was Nintendo's announcement of the Wii U and its touch-sceen controller, but there were a few other interesting bits of information released as well. Let's take a quick look at the big three's keynotes and the news contained within them. Then I can match them up with my predictions to see how many I got right!

E3 2011 Predictions

Posted on May 14, 2011 in Events

Well, I can't seem to keep up the weekly posts, and missing three weeks is even worse! It's been a combination of being really busy, being really lazy, and having complete writers block. Tried to write a post up two or three times in the last few weeks, but couldn't seem to get past a sentence or two before I realised it was rubbish, and tossed it away.

Next month we have an exciting event (for gamers, anyway): The Electronic Entertainment Expo, a.k.a. "E3", for this year is happening next month! June 7-9, to be exact. Mark your calendars! Ever since I've been able to (back when I started university), I've watched the E3 keynotes (conferences held by Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft a day or two before the start of E3) streamed live from the web (which, due to timezone differences, air at around 2AM in Australia). There's something genuinely exciting about watching new game announcements and trailers live as it happens.

I always like to speculate and make predictions about what's going to happen at the keynote speeches. Each of the big three always have something up their sleeves, even if information gets leaked quite a bit in the lead up to the conference. So, I present to you my predictions for E3 this year.

Long post ahead!
