E3 Games Roundup.

This post took a lot longer than I thought it would, having to watch as much footage from E3 as I could, I had around 30 hours of footage total to sift through.  The goal was to try to catch as many games as I could and give short descriptions of them, to let you have a nice list of things coming out that weren’t in the previous posts.  Essentially forming some first impression synopsis.  For that reason games that I think are lesser known or misunderstood will get slightly larger descriptions.  Hopefully later I can create single and larger posts about games that I find really promising, interesting.
