We’ve written and recorded a lot of words about E3 2010. And even though this week’s issue is near an end, we have more coming– straggling previews that will come in over the next week. We still want to share our thoughts for the future– E3 2011– but in the interest of economy, efficiency and directness, this will not be a typical round table of even more words. It will be a round table of haiku.
