E3 is here!

As most gamers know, the annual Electronic Entertainment Expo (also known as E3) is taking place this week in Los Angeles at the Staples Center. For those less familiar about what E3 is, it is a showcase for the three major console platforms, xbox 360, ps3 and wii and their developers microsoft, Sony and nintendo. It's the quintessential who's who of gaming. Each year each company tries to outdo each other by showing off the latest game, system or gadgetry. Last year, for example, all the rage was the Playstation MOVE and the Xbox Kinect. This year so far has been kind of quiet to start off, but then again the expo just started yesterday. While there were a few expected announcements from xbox, nothing really stood out in their presentation aside from the fact that mostly every game will feature kinect capabilities. Sony has shown that they are ready to take gaming to the next level with the first gaming cell phone with the Sony Vita. It looks just like a PSP but is a phone. So far there have been highs and lows for both PS3 and 360 but the week is still young. here's to hoping things get more and more interesting as the week goes along. I will be keeping you guys updated throughout the week.
