The PixlBit Staff sounds off before this year's big show kicks off.
Each and every year E3 brings about the biggest gaming announcements of the year and this year appears to be no exception. With the Wii U coming later this year, the 3DS and Vita picking up steam, and the next generation looming on the horizon, we're surely going to see some megatons dropped. But what will they be?
Nintendo showcased the redesigned controller for the upcoming Wii U.
Today at Nintendo's Direct Pre-E3 presentation, the company formally introduced the redesigned Wii U tablet controller, dubbed the Wii U GamePad. Furthermore, Nintendo talked about various features the controller's touch screen will have as well as its functionality.

Not so sure I’m down with Minecraft, ya dig?
Having had no experience with Minecraft on the PC, Minecraft: 360 Edition seemed like the perfect place for me to dig in and see what all the hubbub was about. After spending hours with the game, I find myself struggling with how to feel about the experience. At times, the genius of its world, its intricate interacting components, and the potential to do whatever you can dream of kept dragging me back to play some more. Other times, I was overwhelmed with the required monotonous labor necessary to put your ideas into practice and felt like I was playing a glorified version of Farmville where I had signed myself up for a series of simulated chores that I would rather not be doing. And so, I have a divided opinion on the experience – which I think won’t be unusual among the masses discovering Minecraft for the first time.

Enter the Electronic Entertainment Expo: bastion of all things exciting and upcoming in video games, where EA is set to finally reveal their poorly kept secret. That’s right, kiddos—Isaac Clarke is coming back, and next week we’ll have the first real look at this hotly anticipated horror game.
