The video-game industry’s annual Electronic Entertainment Expo, which occupied the Los Angeles Convention Center this past week, was an overwhelming, exhausting experience — so many games, so little time. But most of the attendees had a similar reaction: “This is really fun.” Still, some companies came off better than others. So who won E3?
MICROSOFT VS. SONY: At this point in the Xbox One/PlayStation 4 battle, exclusive games are the best way to attract new buyers. Microsoft’s Xbox has “Halo 5: Guardians,” “Gears 4,” “Rise of the Tomb Raider” and the endearingly weird “Cuphead.” Sony’s PS4 has “Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End,” “The Last Guardian,” “Horizon: Zero Dawn,” “Dreams” and the spooky “What Remains of Edith Finch.” WINNER: Slight edge to Sony if the long-awaited “Last Guardian” lives up to its promise.
