You can watch Gizmodo and all these other tech blogs for their coverage on E3 this year, or you can tune in the G4 and watch Kevin Pereira (@kpereira), Olivia Munn (@oliviamunn), Adam Sessler (@AdamSessler), and Morgan Webb (@MorganWebb) as they cover everthing imaginable happening at E3 this year.  New games, new systems, whats to come next year… such as sneak peaks at new systems… or whatever the hell… we don’t know yet!

All I know is that this is the one network you have to watch if you physically can’t be at the convention yourself.  The hosts don’t disappoint, they are hilarious, and most of all THEY KNOW THEIR SHIT.   You can follow the network @G4TV, follow E3 @e3, follow their gaming show XPLAY @Xplay, and follow my favorite… Attack of the Show @aots.

Make sure to watch the website as well to catch all the trailers news and features as they come about, and they also just released an iPhone app if you wanna watch some stuff on the go!

OH! and a side note… I am gonna have a roundup this week over on CGtuts+ of all the badass new trailers that get debuted this week!  See keep an eye on that!
