The show hasnât even technically begun yet â the doors to the LA Convention Centre donât open until later today â but June 10 is a day gamers are going to remember for a very, very long time. And for all the right reasons.
This time last year, I was as down on the show as you could possibly be. Yes, I know itâs most useful as a trade show (for retailers, etc), and yes, I know Iâm getting older, but still. E3 was once a magical time for video game fans, and over the last decade, those times have gotten less and less magical.
Things got so bad last year that I wondered whether it wouldnât have better to do away with the show altogether

Today brought the magic back. There were big announcements. Surprise announcements. Crowd-pleasing announcements. Corporate-sparring. It had everything
For years E3âs had been a boring, confusing mess, punctuated with presentations full of non-gaming fluff and a lack of big, new game reveals. This? This had been some kind of game fanâs dream come to life.
In many years past, any one of those announcements above would have carried the show Yesterday, they simply formed part of a flood of good news, one that washed over those keen enough to be watching at home and who could be forgiven for thinking theyâd travelled back in time to 2004, to an era when E3 was all about games, not TV deals and fitness programs.
