The E3 Photo Gallery

　　By: Staff, GameSpot - Posted on September 23, 2009

　　E3 - it's our Super Bowl. Where they call it quits after three hours - we go for three days. And those are just the official days. Many of the major keynotes actually start up before the show, where we find out what the biggest players in the industry are up to for the coming year. E3 2010 is particularly important in that there are so many large initiatives from everyone - Microsoft's Project Natal, Sony's PlayStation Move, Nintendo's 3DS, OnLive, and we haven't even touched on the whole trip into the third dimension!

　　

Before E3

　　

A Taste of Things to Come

E3 is just around the corner, and we've already started to pack things up and get ready to leave for sunny Los Angeles. In the meantime, here are some photos of our E3 booth last year to whet your appetite for what is to come! Photographer: James Martin View images »

E3 2010 Post-Show

　　

E3 2010 Reloaded

E3 2010 has come and gone, but the sights, sounds, and perhaps even smells are still fresh in our minds. Therefore, the GameSpot editors wanted to share some of their best memories of a show that included everything from a bizarre Cirque du Soleil performance to a bunch of adults running around an auditorium firing fake lasers at each other.
