The annual Electronic Entertainment Expo will open its doors in Los Angeles this Monday and we are not going to be there! Rather than venture to the warmer climate of Los Angeles to sample the latest and greatest of the video game industry, we chose to remain in Canada where we could enjoy a hearty Canadian bacon breakfast and make a Timmy’s Run whenever cravings demand. But worry not, Canadian gamers! We have industry contacts and enthusiastic public relations representatives on the show floor that will be assaulting our inboxes with news and announcements on a daily basis. We don’t need to go to E3, we’re going to bring E3 to us.
Microsoft will inaugurate the event on Monday morning with their annual E3 press conference. Electronic Arts and Ubisoft will follow with their own press conferences throughout Monday afternoon, and Nintendo and Sony will take their turns on Tuesday.
The industry is buzzing with announcement rumours for this year’s show, and our contacts lead us to believe that there are plenty of surprises in store for us. Stay tuned to GameNorth for the latest in news, previews and announcements from the show. But in the meantime, Timmy’s Run!
