E3 is over. It went out with whimper, barely heard and certainly forgotten.

There were some highlights of course, and today our team brings you a previews of Age of Conan and Gods and Heroes: Rome Rising, a look at the next big thing for Lord of the Rings and of course some interviews with the Vanguard and Everquest 2 teams. Fortunately for you, I'm not responsible for any of those pieces.

For those that haven't been following along, E3 was a shadow of its former self. I can best describe said shadow as a high-noon shadow cast over toothpick. Gone were the booth babes, large, loud and proud booths, the bustling masses and everything else that made E3 an in your face event that garnered the attention of the non-game media like CNN.

Gone were the minor players who often had some of the more interesting titles to view. This was a business conference and not a promotional conference and in my humble opinion the industry was hurt by it. As one astute Sony Online Entertainment rep told me, "We were competing on the same attention level as Hollywood, but this show makes us look small and insignificant." How true.
