In case you've never heard of it, the Electronic Entertainment Expo, better known as E3, is the biggest video game trade show of the year. What that means is that publishers showcase most of their big titles that will be carrying them through the upcoming holiday season, and usually even titles that are still a year or two off. The "Big Three" console makers--Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo--all hold extravagant pre-show press conferences that have gained a reputation for big announcements regarding their respective platforms. Many games are shown in playable builds for the first time and still some games are featured in trailers or behind-closed-doors demonstrations.
This year the show will be held in the Los Angeles Convention Center from June 2-4, but the ramp up is already starting. In an effort to gain their titles a little bit more attention than they may normally get in the tumultous circus of the actual show, publishers in recent years have actually begun showing titles and trailers in the weeks leading up to the big event. Below you'll find the big trailers that have already been revealed, but come June 2 expect a total flood of information on new titles. Enjoy!
