Another year, another E3 and, I’m proud to say, another stunning expo for the Xbox 360!

The big show is not quite as gargantuan this year, not that you’d know it based on the crowds jamming our stand. Needless to say the white-hot star of our glittering firmament is Halo 3. With appetites thoroughly drenched after the recent beta test interest in the latest build has been nothing short of ecstatic. September obviously can’t come soon enough for some people.

There’s plenty more to see, though – at least there is for visitors who can bear to tear themselves away from the aforementioned blockbuster for more than a couple of minutes! Book-ending Halo 3’s autumn release we have 2K’s sub-aquatic shooter Bioshock, and for later in the year Ubisoft’s moody crusade ‘em up, Assassin’s Creed – both have been getting plenty of traffic. Likewise PGR4 and Mistwalker’s incredible looking RPGs – Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon. Oh yes, there’s a fair bit of fuss about a little game called Grand Theft Auto IV too…

But I don’t need to tell you all this when you can find out more for yourselves – and without having to leave the comfort of your armchair. That’s all thanks to our ‘E3: Bringing It Home’ initiative, which is back for a second year due to popular demand and, of course, because it’s such an awesome idea!

Here you’ll find various demos, high-definition trailers and assorted goodies from the best of what’s on show at the E3. The Lost Planet demo was the highlight of Bringing It Home ‘06, but who knows what treats we’ve got in store this year? We’d like to tell you, honestly, but the line-up changes on a daily basis. You’d better keep an eye on Xbox Live Marketplace then – as if you needed reminding!
