It is the first day at the brand new e for all expo and going into the halls of the staples center is very reminiscent of the old E3 format When you reach the main doors of south hall a small spectacle unfolds

As you walk in the doors you are greeted by the two familiar sites Nintendo’s large bright white booth featuring Super Mario Galaxies and Smash Brothers Brawl and Konami with their hottest upcoming release MGS4. Rock band was out for demo as well as people attempting to singing along with Guitar Hero II Civilizaton for console and handheld was on display. The hall is not as populated but definitely everywhere you go there is something to see and play. Target had a main pavilion featuring demos of Guitar Hero III. There is even a large gamer lounge for gamers to sit and play Halo3. I am still perusing the floor but I am sure there will be much more to see in the days to come.
