Brace yourself gamers – E3 is coming! For those not in the know, the Electronic Games Expo (E3) is the gaming industry’s biggest event where everyone who’s anyone gathers to show off their upcoming releases. This year Sony are set to reveal the Playstation 4 (for real this time!), Microsoft will attempt to redeem themselves after last month’s awful Xbox One reveal and Nintendo will give us a webcast instead of a conference but they’ll have a new Smash Bros game so who cares!
