Pack up your bags, turn in your hotel keys, and wait for the planes. E3 is all wrapped up, and the information that found its way out of the show clearly depicted a convention that is slowly coming to life again. In his last blog, WAR's Josh Drescher discusses a few of the games on the show floor that really caught his eye, aside from his obvious favorite (Warhammer Online). Josh gives a brief glimpse into the cult of Warhammer, so please take a moment to read his blog (and the rest of them if you're interested). Enjoy!

That being said, I consider E3 2008 to be a real success. I had the chance to debrief some trusted folks in the media and they seemed to agree that having the chance to REALLY spend a decent amount of time with developers proved extremely valuable. Not being forced to waste 50% of their time covering the spectacle of the event was – they grudgingly admit – great for them. The same holds true for us. I’ve often said that our game shows off better the longer we’re able to demo it, so not having to fight for five minutes worth of time with each journalist as they tried to run to the next T-Shirt Cannon Event was really great.
