I just wanted to throw a big "thank you" at Giant Bomb for doing an awesome job on their first E3. All the content and podcasts made this my go-to site during the whole thing, and I was genuinely surprised by the amount of coverage you guys provided.

So anyways, thanks! You duders rock!

This is actually their second time covering E3, and both times they've done exceptionally well.

I hope they keep the front page layout the same, I kinda prefer it to the flash scroller.

Yeah, this isn't their first E3, it's their second. But it was fantastic coverage. Both E3's.

Oops! You're right -- this wasn't their first E3.

Still did great, though! :)

I think they did a million times better than I thought they'd do.  Nothing against them, but they just went down there with a 5 man crew (not to forget the awesome stuff Dan gave us here).  It's insane how much they gave us with that few people.  It's like they were in 15 different places at once.  I'd give the MVPs of the show to Vinny and Drew though.  Great videos.  Excellent job, guys.  Can't wait for mid-June next year!

Excellent coverage, and this is a great place to get all we need to know.  I was worried I would have to jump between the various sites, but Giant Bomb had it all.

THANKS!

Same thing, and indeed, great job everyone.

Though I kind of missed Scribblenauts coverage. I'm sure you guys'd absolutely love it.

Excellent coverage, the podcasts for the week were all awesome, I really enjoyed the one with all the different people from the game industry in it. Video's were top notch, you guys actually do interviews that are interesting unlike nearly every other gaming related site!

Word!  Kept me entertained all week - highlights for me were the running community commentary on the LIVE BLOGS (thanks, snide + community), Brad's Bioware and MS interviews and the general craziness out on the show floor ('that guy was a pushover...') ... too much other good stuff to mention individually.

Thanks, GB.

For some of them it's actually their fiftieth E3 or something like that.

I think their previous GameSpot E3 experience really helped. They knew exactly what they were doing and provided great coverage as a result.

That's why Giantbomb didn't do that: many sites like IGN and Gamespot have that covered anyway, theres no point them wasting time and money putting up live videos.

@Keyser_Soze:  With the budget that Gamespot has of course they are going to be able to do what they do. To be honest though production wise it was no where near as good as E32005 and 2006.

I was quite impressed with how the GiantBomb crew got as much video as they got considering how small they are.

Yep, GameSpot came roaring back with some success with E3 2009 coverage. Really redeemed themselves. I bet GiantBomb guys were jealous of all the GameSpot coverage and live stage, there must have been some friction, especially when walking into the West Hall and the first thing you see is the GameSpot stage.

Why would they be jealous? Friction? What the fuck are you talking about? I'm just saying that's why GameSpot has live coverage and such. They have a larger staff, fanbase, and budget. It's understandable for GB not to have the amount of coverage equal to GS.

Agreed. For 5 guys they really kicked some E3 ass. I've had so much fun watching these videos. I almost feel bad that I'm not paying for this shit.

I agree, i usually go to IGN, but this site did a much better job of organizing the news in an easy to understand way, and the booth tours were awesome.

Keep up the good work :)

I still say that the GB coverage was better due to the different interviews and podcasts. I prefer the humor of these guys to the stiff style of GS.

Huge round of applause and a big thank you to the GB crew! I definitely enjoyed all of the videos, articles, interviews, podcasts, and microcasts they supplied. There were times I refreshed the main page in my browser way too many times to count just waiting for the next item to be posted (namely podcasts ;P). Loved the background as well! Looking forward to next year's E3 :D

Giantbomb was still a blog at the first E3 so this is the first E3 when GB was a site.
