You Just Had to Be There: Impressions from the Xbox E3 Briefing
Let me start by saying, having the opportunity to experience the XBOX briefing was amazing. Not only did they announce the acquisition of five studios, they also showed 50 games, 15 of which were “console exclusive”.

E3 2018: EA Play Conference
The EA conference at E3 2018 was fairly underwhelming, and wasn't the way I hoped E3 would kick off. We got to see a few things - obviously the upcoming EA Sports titles, a first good look at Anthem, and the biggest surprise, the fact that not only was Unravel 2 in production, but that it was also releasing that day (June 9). While the Unravel announcement was exciting, and Anthem looked good, most of what was shown off was predictable yearly releases, and a few indie titles.
