E3 2009 Photostream
As Dickens famously, “it was the best of times, it was the worst of times.” The 2009 Electronic Entertainments Expo (or E3) was a tale of two conventions- the conspicuous gathering at the Los Angeles Convention Center during daylight, and the clandestine one at bars throughout the city after dusk.
Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony’s Press conferences were equally schizophrenic; offering a hip parade of sequels to a hardcore audience, and new input methods for casual player intimidated by controllers. Even individual conferences displayed this uneasy dichotomy. An hour after unveiling the $120 Tony Hawk Ride skateboard package, Microsoft showed a skating game that was controlled using body motion, rendering the Hawk’s contraption obsolete. Yes, it was a strange and astonishing show.
Those chicks with orange wigs look super scary!
I recognize Cheapy.
You guys should really get a better camera.
Whats up with the fat girl in the 6th picture?!?
She’s ugly? I think she’s ok…
MS unveiled a body motion controlled skateboarding game after tony hawk’s new one? Burn.
Good pics..i just wish someone would take a dump in that toilet
Welcome to the age of overpriced peripherals that will have little to no support.
Would have been great if DE tried to.
Sounds like they finally got it right with this years e3.
I thought we are already in that era (looking at my PS3 eye toy)
LOL! that picture of a cop playing DS is great. I cant believe Nintendo showed that!
Hell, I don’t think I have ANY console that isn’t guilty of at least one count of that offense.
Going by all the chatter on the interwebs, I think I may be the only person not completely overwhelmed by this years e3. Don’t get me wrong, I’m completely satisfied, but it wasn’t anything at all unexpected or surprising.
She’s not fat. But she is scary as hell.
I think the orange haired girls should have psy for the prefix on those shirts. They looked a little disturbed.
the booth babes were nice.
Sweet, I spot a CheapyD!
Damn, that mech looks badass.
Great pictures. E3 was great this year.
I don’t know about great, but it did have some interesting games.
For me, E3s are only interesting when new consoles are unveiled.
Dude, its Cheapy! Anyways E3 looks awesome, I’ve always wanted to go.. 🙁
My god at $45 parking.
Anyway, cool photos. I enjoyed E3 this year, although I wish there was more information revealed about Wii Zelda.
WAT? Wii Zelda was announced? How did I miss that?
Awesome pictures. Very jealous. Though I agree that the orange haired girls are very creepy. And kinda hawt. 🙂
Project NATAL was so amazing!!
Those Nyko booth babes are hot. Should have taken more pics of them. lol
Nice pics…so much to be excited about at this year’s e3.
wish i could have gone to e3 instead of studying for finals :/
I thought the Tony Hawk franchise was obsolete a long time ago.
Nice pics. I saw the CheapyD picture too. The Project Natal stage looked sweet. And those Nyko orange haired girls looked really freaky.
Desert, how come no pics of you?
Hopefully Brutal Legend is released on time despite their legal issues. It’s shaping up to be another sleeper hit, just like Psychonauts.
Yeah, I’m really looking forward to this one.
Looks like some great games will be coming out.
Nick, cool site! I liked the Conan clip.
Some really good games coming out this year. Looking forward to Battlefield BC2
dude that ecto-1 must have been sweet
Microsoft win e3 hands down.
