Pack yourself up 5 days worth of Lucozade, fellas; because it’s about to get hot around here as we get primed for the gaming industry’s Christmas. E3 begins in earnest on Monday so ahead of the show we’re loading our clips with endless rounds of Mavis Beacon training and some mild drinks, knowing full well by the time E3′s done Joshua, Joseph and myself will be half alive. But to hell with Satan, we’re running the race like Forrest Gump searching for love.
The Gamesthirst E32011 liveblog starts right here, right now.
And it’ll be hot! This year promises to bring down the house with Sony going NGP-mental, Nintendo introducing its new console, and Microsoft revealing some rather big things. The games are there, too. They include Battlefield 3, Uncharted 3, Mass Effect 3, Hitman: Absolution, Assassin’s Creed: Revelations, XCOM, Codename Kingdoms, Resistance 3, Modern Warfare 3, Respawn’s new game, Insomniac’s new game, inFamous 2, (which goes on sale this coming Tuesday) Final Fantasy Versus XIII, RAGE, Tomb Raider, Dead Island, Ninja Gaiden, Batman: Arkham City, Forza 4, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Gears Of War 3, Bungie’s new Game, GTAV? Syphon Filter? Onimusha? – the entire gaming world will be watching L.A. – but you’ll only need to watch here.
We’ll be using the liveblog for all the press conferences so you’ll be able to leave open this window and get all your news in once place. You’ll be able to post as many comments as you like, sharing your thoughts with us all as the big announcements role in. We’ll also be creating separate articles of all those big announcements, and don’t forget Joseph will be doing some awesome video montages. Have your water on hands, you’ll be needing it.
