Despite having quite a few games with messy launches (to put it lightly), their past year was still strong. The questions here became whether they’d be able to top themselves . . . and also when we’re getting our hands on The Division.

EA had a trio of massive titles to unleash on gamers this year, but unfortunately, their delivery wasn’t all that entertaining to watch. . .

Microsoft took the stage this year repeating the same strategy they used last year – games, games, and more games – hoping it would bring them the same success that it did before.

Bethesda’s first time on their own E3 stage put a little pressure on them, but they brought along more than enough big freaking guns to make it fantastic.

So content has been light of late, because I left the frosty confines of the east coast to venture west, to the land of shitty hotel wifi and sun, California, to stop at Disneyland and take in Stan Lee’s Comikaze last weekend. This is the first con in probably 5 or more years I was not there as a vendor, and was just there to have fun. I highly recommend going if you have a chance. I only went Friday and about half of Saturday (my feet could only handle so much of wearing wooden sandals), so I missed some of the marquee events (like the Power Rangers Megaforce panel, will they just get to the epic battle already!), but it was still a great time.

Nintendo went with a rather different approach this year, keeping their presentation entirely digital instead of physically being there. With new Smash Bros, Pokémon, and Bayonetta games in the works, did they have enough new and exciting things to make it worth watching?

Sony closed out the very first night of the expo, and they had a lot of competition to overcome after most of the others had just brought their A-game. So, how did they do?

The company behind everything Tom Clancy, Assassin’s Creed, Watch_Dogs, and more were up next on the show. The question was, with the status of multiple games in question, would we finally be updated on them here?
