The lounge also featured a video blogger area that encouraged influential attendees to record their own E3 coverage using Windows branding as a backdrop, while also sharing their thoughts about Windows 7 gaming for Microsoft highlight channel videos which were distributed to YouTube throughout the day.

In addition to the activities at the J Lounge, we had a camera crew cover interesting PC Gaming stories from exhibitors and attendees on the E3 show floor. These stories were captured for use in the daily YouTube videos, as well as a final Windows 7 Gaming mini-documentary.

On the third day I finally got a chance to check out all the great games being previewed at the event. After the excitement from the previous days, I was almost too tired to enjoy them. You can read the rundown of the games that impressed me most here. The atmosphere was laid back and jovial with some serious conversations on issues surrounding our business mixed in.

I wounder if they still be saying this in a few months or if they had not get in bed with nVidia "The PC remains one of the world's most popular gaming platforms, and we're committed to offering PC players the best possible experience with our games," said Tony Key, senior vice president of Sales and Marketing at Ubisoft. It is.. Which is good! Nothing bad about a game running well on different hardware. How many of those are silly proprietary things that won't work on my ? TXAA is horrible.
