Electronic Entertainment Expo 2006

With booth babes and sexual video games banned from E3 in 2006, the excitement will be focused squarely on the new consoles debuting at this massive event. Revolution and PS3 will be playable for the first time, while Xbox 360 tries to show that its library is maturing after a slow head start. It's going to be a beautiful slugfest, and as always, PGC will be there with the best Nintendo coverage, period.
