The next E3 Expo (http://www.e3expo.com) is nearly upon us. It takes place on 15th - 17th June 2010 in LA at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Unfortunately, what with work and money, I am unable to get over to the US to experience this Expo. But that doesn't stop us bringing you the latest news from the event.

For a little bit of background... The E3 Expo is the world's premiere trade show for computer and video games and other such related products. The Expo show is owned by the Entertainment Software Association (ESA), which is the U.S. association dedicated to serving the business and public affairs needs of the companies, publishing interactive games for video game consoles, handheld devices, personal computers, and the Internet. The Expo is run every year and always creates a huge buzz on the internet for news of what future games are going to be developed by some of the biggest companies in the gaming world.
