Think E3 is easy?
Watch here on E3 week and see how much exercise I do.
Is it really time to start getting ready for E3? Apparently so, as the ESA is revealing bits and pieces of information to entice you.
The first big update is, of course, the Exhibitor list, which is ripe with speculation potential. Who's on the list? More tellingly, who's not? What will they be unveiling on the show floor? We're not into counting our chickens, but it just wouldn't be E3 without a healthy dose of anticipation.
Of course, the big three are on the lineup, but a whole bunch of smaller guys are there too, as well as a collection of hardware and peripheral makers.
There's no Blizzard, which isn't surprising, when you have BlizzCon you don't need nobody else. No Valve either, which is unusual. Both of those could be bundled up under other companies though - Activision will be making their usual big deal, while Valve's involvement with the EA Partners program will probably see them shoe-horned into their presentation.
We're hoping the same applies to Rockstar Games, who may be there under the Take-Two umbrella (along with 2K Games. Hopefully, L.A. Noire will be on shelves by then, but I'm personally hoping for some info on the ever-elusive Agent, which we first saw at E3 2009 - and have heard nothing from since.

I like video games, fishing, Depeche Mode, long walks on the beach, writing discussion papers and cups of tea. Not necessarily in that order.
