E3 officially starts this Tuesday but tomorrow Sony, Microsoft, Ubisoft and EA will be holding their press conferences where you can expect to hear about all the massive new titles and hardware. Nintendo will hold their event on the first official day of the conference. E3 is held in sunny Los Angeles, CA, ‘merica – which means a late night for gaming fans from this side of the Atlantic.
