Our nutty and cool images from a week at E3 (photo gallery)
The Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) is a visual delight. It shows you the crazy efforts that people undertake to grab a little bit of the spotlight at the largest U.S. gaming trade show. It also gives us all a window into what the people are like who make the games that we enjoy year round.
We were on site during the show, and here are a bunch of photos that we took along the way. We hope you enjoy them.
