This year’s E3 was a big one. According to the ESA, over 46,000 industry professionals and fellow gamers flocked to Los Angeles to experience one of the largest gaming conventions in the world. This is where “The Big 3,” Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony make the most important announcements of the year. This is where publishers and development studios set up shop to showcase their latest titles for the public. And this is where fans get treated to hands-on demos, mountains of game swag, and overpriced food vendors.
E3 was an exciting place to be this year. But if you weren’t able to make it to the Los Angeles Convention Center to witness the madness firsthand, you can get a picture of what E3 2011 was like by browsing through GamesRadar’s photo diary below.
