We were promised this year's E3 would be a big one, and it certainly didn't disappoint, with a strong showing from each of the 3 major companies, including new Wii-rivalling full motion control systems from both Sony and Microsoft. There were a great number of surprises too, not least of which was a new Metal Gear Solid game for the 360 - though not necessarily the game fans have been waiting for!

If you missed the press conferences, don't fret! Every detail (well, nearly every detail) of Microsoft and Sony's conferences was hastily scribbled down on our forums as the conferences were happening. And even better, unlike the so-called "professional" gaming sites, our reports are fully subjective, and liberally sprinkled with personal bias and "humourous" observations about the people presenting the games.

So head into the forums now to check out the E3 news.

...Oh, alright, I'll make it easy for you, just because I care. The Microsoft conference summary can be found here, and the you can read the Sony one here.

"While it is unfortunate that HD DVD was discontinued, there is still enjoyment to be had from your Xbox 360 HD DVD Player. You can take this as an opportunity to build out your movie collection! There are around 500 HD DVD movies to choose from and many at great deals, so there is a fair amount of content for HD DVD on the market. It also is a terrific DVD player and it allows you to have game discs and movie discs, whether HD DVD or DVD, within the console at one time. The HD DVD player also adds two additional USB ports to your console." Said Microsoft Game Studio's Coporate Vice President Shane Kim in an inverview with GameDaily.
