Kyle over at Video Game Media Watch turns the spotlight back on the media's presence at E3 with an in-depth review of the big media booths that were dotted around the show floor. Here's the quick and dirty from Kyle's write-up:- 1UP/Ziff Davis' booth wasn't very crowded, although the free copies of EGM were popular.
- BradyGames, the strategy guide publisher, stuck a couple of Guitar Hero 2 booths in their stall and let the crowds grow exponentially.
- GameSpot's booth was very inaccessible. So either they were working hard, or they were playing a massive LAN game.
- UGO couldn't hide their Geometry Wars addiction. Oh, and they stole chairs from neighboring booths.
- G4 let people browse the web for free: free internet FTW!

...and they gave you a free giant foam "Live Long and Prosper" hand for tTar Trek 2.0 AND a FREE Happy Tree Friends stuffed animal (I got the squirrel with no hands.)

That small company handing out the sour candy in the plastic test tubes had the best booth of E3 (simply because they offered "food"). I was so friggin' hungry by the time I walked past them, that the candy gave me a mouth orgasm.
Without it, I wouldn't have made it to food court.
Thank you "company I can't remember."

The "quick and dirty" way joystiq explained on the original article makes it seem a lot worse.
Unprofessional journalism at it's best.
