Star Wars Battlefront II in action.

Best of E3 2017 so far: from A Way Out to Wolfenstein 2

It’s only been a couple of days, but we’ve been through three intense briefing events so far even before the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), the big game tradeshow in Los Angeles, kicks off Tuesday. Today, we’ll hit the Intel press event, the PC Gaming Show, the Microsoft hands-on Xbox showcase, the Ubisoft press briefing, and the Sony press event. So we’ve still got a lot of games to see.

But we’ve been to the Electronic Arts, Microsoft, and Bethesda events already. (Click on these links if you want to see everything each company showed).
