More than 45,000 people are expected to attend the annual three-day convention to see the latest games and announcements from the gaming industry. (Photo by Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images)
Last week was brutal... and fun. It's always with mixed emotions that I leave Los Angles and E3 for home. This year saw lot of big news and fantastic games. I had a chance to hang out with the wonderful Kotaku writers and tons of other talented game writers as well as the best and brightest in the video game industry. My favorite moment? Probably the friendly, developer-packed, ESA party. My least favorite? Accidentally running into the women's bathroom to use the facilities. (I didnt' realize my mistake until I had fully committed. Sorry :( ) We'll all be spending the rest of the month writing up our impressions, our interviews, our experiences, hopefully you'll get something out of them. –Brian Crecente
