E3 Electronic Entertainment Expo: Is it Back in Full Force? - E3 is back, and hopefully better than ever in this do-or-die year for the gaming expo. Despite the current state of the economy, E3 is poised to return to the glitz and the glamour of years past, while still looking at the bottom line. Will the new PSP be revealed there? Who will prevail in the much-hyped rematch of Steve Wiebe and Billy Mitchell as they chase the King of Kong title? We also pit E3 head-to-head against other major gaming cons for comparison, and discuss which franchises and genres we would like to see a sneak peak of, and get our hands on.
