This will be my 9th E3.
This certainly doesn't make me an expert on videogames, but it does give me a certain insight on E3 itself.
Like the rest of the media horde, this year I'm anxious to see what we'll find out about the next generation of hardware. I'll enjoy boozing and schmoozing and meeting new and interesting people and collecting their business cards.
In too many respects, E3 remains the blackhole of the game industry. It's gravity is such that weeks before it starts, disappears into its cavernous maw as you schedule and sort and try to figure out what to see. And you spend weeks after sorting out what you've collected and returning to a normal state of rest and repose. What actually happens during the event is transmitted out as hyperbole, hype and tainted observation. E3 is the perfect marketing event.
If you want to know what I make of this year's event, for better or for worse, you can follow it on the Denver Post Blog site.
