Fighting All of Your E3 Predictions


Wow ... that sure is a mouthful!
With only hours to go before Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo and the rest of the game industry unveils their plans for the next twelve months it's easy to understand why so many gamers and journalists are asking questions and making predictions. Defunct Games is no

A safe prediction: This year's E3 will be considerably less violent!
different, our staff has been spending the last few weeks arguing about who's going to come out ahead, what games are going to be announced and whether or not there would be any hardware announced. But unlike all the other game websites out there Defunct Games actually wants to get to the bottom of these questions. We aren't content to just sit here and wait for E3 to start; we want to answer the burning questions two days before the companies in question officially announce their products.

In order to answer these burning questions we employed three different reliable sources to give you the most accurate information possible. They won't always agree, but I think you will agree that these three sources have an uncanny track record when it comes to answering the important issues facing us this week. First up we have the ghost of John Lennon (who you can talk to at the John Lennon AI Project). We also have our always reliable Magic 8 Ball on hand. And filling out our panel is a special guest, the Attorney General of the United States, Alberto Gonzales! These three sources are prepared to answer any and all questions regarding the upcoming E3 Media & Business Summit event. We feel that these three sources will put a lot of questions to rest ... and you can thank Defunct Games for that!
