Jeff Kealey: E3 is dead. The summer game is fast. It waits with knives ready to carve up the carcass and make the most of this opportunity. What struck me in the Sony event was how many mid-budget, I don't know if we can even, not in these, but just mid-tier games. That is my honestly huge takeaway from both the Sony event and what we see coming along.

E3 is dead. Now what? Without one video game event to rule them all, video game publishers are trying a variety of approaches. This week, Sony held its big digital event, showing a bundle of games coming to PlayStation hardware, including a lengthy gameplay clip from Spider-Man 2. Ubisoft also released a trailer for its new Assassin's Creed. What should we make of this news? And what we can expect from the upcoming announcements from Xbox and others? The Resties have the answers!
