Earlier today I managed to grab three UK games industry veterans to talk about the E3 convention out in LA. These included Leo Tan from Capcom, Chris Easton from Ubisoft, and finally Raul Nieto Garcia from Square Enix.

Read my preview here.

Here are some videos that I’ve been posting on the GameSpot E3 blog. It’s going to get pretty crazy tomorrow, so I’m making the most of it while I can!

Just a quick note to say that I’m now in Los Angeles for this year’s E3! I’ll be writing plenty of stuff for GameSpot over the coming week, so keep an eye on my profile, follow my Twitter feed or just head over to the main GameSpot E3 page for all the info.

Tipped off by a post on Lifehacker, I downloaded a new piece of software called Boxee for the Mac yesterday. Currently in alpha, the project is essentially a new frontend for Xbox Media Center, only with added social interaction. This means that you can see what your friends think about films/albums/TV shows, while you can broadcast your recommendations over services such as Twitter.

As media centers become more and more common in the home, Boxee offers a glimpse at the future of media consumption and sharing. Checking out trailers of my friends’ favourite films, listening to my last.fm radio stream and watching Revision3 shows from one single interface is really powerful, and while Boxee is still young and relatively buggy, it’s definitely something I’ll be keeping an eye on.
