Hollywood, CA (Pop CultureToday) 6/5/2013 – As gaming insiders get an exclusive first hand view of the newest and coolest in gaming, so will the the general public, as Spike TV broadcasts live multi-platform coverage of all the action taking place at this year’s expo.

In a world where media is expanding like a spider web, the concept of the buzz-friendly word, “Transmedia,” has been born, and gaming has become an ever important integral ancillary asset to film, TV, comics, and pretty much everything pop culture. As usual, the day before the opening, big news is expected from some of the world of gaming biggies: Microsoft, EA, Ubisoft and Sony, in hopes of thrilling game geeks and fanatics with potentially life-changing game technology… Gaming is quickly becoming more important to its fans than the movie or TV show they may be based on. Or real life.

“E3 All Access Live” will kick-off its multi-platform coverage on Spike TV, in HD, from Los Angeles one day before the event is open to the public on Monday, June 10 (Noon-5:30pm ET/ 9:00am-2:30pm PT) and continue at 5:30-11:00pm ET / 2:30-8:00pm PT. Spike.com will stream five more live hours on Tuesday, June 11 (Noon-5:00pm ET/ 9:00am-2:00pm PT). The live special will also be supported through additional digital pre and post shows as well as through online simulcasts.

Want more E3 info? There’s an app for that. Both the Apple Store and Google Play supply free apps with convenient maps and lists of exhibitors. Or catch the E3 Insider on the actual E3 website for more inside peeks (http://www.e3insider.com)

E3 annually attracts leading computer and video game companies, business partners, media and industry analysts from more than 100 countries as well as software developers, buyers and retailers, programmers, distributors, entertainment industry representatives, financiers and venture capitalists, importers and exporters, manufacturers, resellers, researchers, educators, financial and industry analysts and worldwide electronic and print media.

Show Hours:
Tuesday, June 11, 2013 12:00PM – 6:00PM
Wednesday, June 12, 2013 10:00AM – 6:00PM

SIMCITY IS BACK

The very first video game I ever played that soon got me addicted to the point of staying up for like three days straight is back, is now SOCIAL, but PC only! No comment on when or if a Mac edition will be available. The presentation at E3 looked cool but way more complicated than previous games and seemed somewhat dependent on neighbors. Personally I'm not sure I'd be into a social version of SimCity. If I want to be social, I'll go out into the real city...  AH
