All of E3's 'Showcase Pavillion' in about five minutes

by Kyle Orland { Jul 17th 2008 at 9:30AM }

At last year's E3, the place to go to try out games without a behind-closed doors appointment was the "Summit Sotware Showcase" in the relatively tiny Barker Hangar. This year, the place to browse was the similarly small "Showcase Pavillion" in the similarly small L.A. Convention Center's Concourse Hall. Thus, we decided to reprise last year's double-time video trip through the Barker Hangar with a similar, double-time video trip through this year's version of the showloor, embedded below. Can you spot your favorite company/game? Find out after the jump.

Fond memories of the double time videos passing the Nintendo camp a few years ago before the Wii was released when it had a queue of an hour of length and Sony was practically empty.

Great stuff gave me a real idea of this event that I have never been to. I liked it when it was bigger and the babes were in.

Is that music from the Blue Man Group?

I kind of like the smaller E3. In the past, it was a contest of who has the biggest booth, who has the best guests in their booth, etc. Here it seems that it is just games on display and waiting for you to try out.

Whatever, guys. I went to e3 in 2004 & 2005 and the big e3 was the best e3. It was like a world's fair of video games: there were shows and swag and babes and more games and very plush carpeting considering it was 3 days long. e3 will return. Cue Bond theme.BA BA, buhhhh, BA BA, buh, BA buh buh BA BA,
