Best of E3 so far: PC Gaming Show, Ubisoft, and Sony events

It’s the end of the third day of GamesBeat’s march through the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), and our feet are sore. The show floor hasn’t even opened, but we’ve now been to six major events staged by Electronic Arts, MicrosoftBethesda, the PC Gaming Show, Ubisoft, and Sony.

The expo show kicks off Tuesday, with Nintendo rounding out the big presentations. But I’d like to do a running commentary on what we’ve seen already.
