The Best of E3

I know that E3 was three weeks ago, but with the craziness of the World Cup, NBA Free Agency, and the approaching MLB All-Star break, to say we’ve been a little busy here at ESPN would be an understatement. But in our spare time, my expert cameraman/editor Jared Bodden and I, have been toiling away trying to finish these videos to show you some of the great games we saw at E3 and bring you some exclusive interviews with the people behind those games.

One of the most difficult things in this process has been whittling down what we felt were the most worthwhile games to look at, so we broke it down into four videos. The first video is a compilation featuring online and DLC games with the following three videos being a summary of the rest of the best from each day. For the games that we had to cut for the sake of time, I apologize tremendously. I also wish we could have given every game we did feature their own special video.

On that note, without further ado, below is the culmination of my three days at the L.A. Convention Center for E3 2010. I hope you all enjoy.

The first video was my online/DLC game special that features looks at the new Deadliest Warrior game from Spike Games that comes out next Tuesday, DCU Online from Sony Online Entertainment, QuickHit.com and their brand new NFL license, and Blacklight: Tango Down from Ignition Entertainment.

Our first day at E3 was a special day overall and had us see some spectacular looking games for consoles. Our video of Day 1 features Tron and Epic Mickey from Disney Entertainment, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow from Konami, and Test Drive Unlimited 2 from Atari.

On the second day of E3, console games and their peripherals were well represented once more as we looked at Vanquish from SEGA, Shaun White Skateboarding and Ghost Recon: Future Solider from Ubisoft, WWE All-Stars from THQ, and the new Wii Exercise Bike from Big Ben Interactive.

On the last day of E3, we had a chance to look at some of the most hyped games for consoles and some sweet accessories when we looked at Call of Duty: Black Ops and Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions from Activision and some sweet products from Nyko and iGUGU.

I had a chance to catch up with Sega, Atari, Spike Games, Disney, and Konami on the first official day of E3 2010!

The Deadliest Interviewer!

If we ever wanted to find out who was the deadliest anything, we would most likely go to my latest interviewee. He is a professional Biomedical Engineer and one of the hosts for SpikeTV’s Deadliest Warrior, Geoff Desmoulin.

On Deadliest Warrior, which is now in its second season (first season available on DVD) and airs every Tuesday night at 10 PM on SpikeTV, Geoff, along with Max Geiger, Dr. Dorian, and some sweet analytical software, take some of histories greatest individual warriors and warrior groups and pit them against each other in mythological match-ups to determine the age old question: “Who is DEADLIEST?”

I had a chance though to ask Geoff some other questions like how he got involved with Deadliest Warrior and if we can ever hope to see some fictional characters make their way into the Deadliest Warrior fight club, where many of the shows’ weapons tests are conducted.
