VG247: E3's rubbish. Well, most of it is, anyway. But prefacing a week of swanning around in Santa Monica and Hollywood doing a bit of typing and getting taxis, there are three business presentations that set the tone for the entire coming year in games. Undoubtedly, the E3 press conferences are videogaming's annual highpoint, sometimes for all the wrong reasons.
You will get up at 3am to watch a man in Los Angeles talk about "penetration" and point at graphs, in the vague hope that this is "the one". The megaton. The one where Gates shows the next Xbox. The one where Miyamoto shows the Zelda evolution. The first glimpse of the new Metal Gear. The one that makes your hair stand on end.
Of course, there's a global circus of tradeshows surrounding games now - E3, GDC, Leipzig, etc - and they all have their classic press conferences. But which were the best, the worst, the most memorable? With E3 looming, we thought we'd tell you.
