E3 has morphed from the 800-pound gorilla of years past into a seventeen-headed hydra for 2007. But when it's all said and done, it's still the only place in the world that matters this week. Literally hundreds of games are going to be shown at this year's perfect storm of press conferences, hotel room appointments, and airplane hangar booth tours.
Therefore, we've hammered together this one-stop shop to bring you all the sights, sounds and sensory overloads from the week-long center of the videogaming universe: sunny Santa Monica, California. So park it here until the flow of goodness fills your skull and oozes out your pores so strongly that your co-workers start asking, "Hey, who's eating kimchi and sardines?"
You'll find features here on this page, and more platform-specific fare on the pages following. It's going to be a hell of a week. Don't see the article you're looking for? We'll keep updating our E3 coverage every hour or so byadding links to our most up to date info and news as it's announced. Let's get started.
