The contrast between PAX and E3 could not be more stark. I have been to E3 3 or 4 times now, and each year the distance between the enthusiast and the game, or game developer is more and more expansive. E3 is a land of distraction, obfuscation, and hype. The few playables there are remorselessly [...]

Their presentation may have sucked, but it was out-sucked by every other presenter this year. There were a pack of First Party [...]
