E3 roundup, and our thoughts on MYeGamer

The Loughlin/Michaels Group loves games -- from casual games and social media games to competitive games.This year marks the 16th anniversary of the E3 Expo. It’s hard to believe, but E3 is a teenager now. This week, the red carpet of the gaming industry converges at E3, (June 15-17) which attracts approximately 45,000 attendees. The big boys of the gaming industry -- including Nintendo, Sony, Sega and even Microsoft -- embark on promoting their catalog of games. You’ve all seen the dog playing poker photos, well this is the event where the big dogs come together, collaborate, negotiate and partner. This isn’t a show where gamers and the general public can walk the floor and collect freebies in a tote bag, it’s the who’s who of the gaming industry and a dynasty that rivals the opening bell of the stock market. In fact, the games introduced at E3 will likely push the economy forward. It’s as hot as fashion week in NYC in the fall.At Vatorsplash Spring, we met the founders of MYeGamer: www.myegamer.com.MYeGamer is a community site for the game fanatic who wants to collaborate, meet up and share gaming expertise.
