Fun Fact: PapaFrog is obsessed with unicorns. We shudder to think what sort black magic he'd be able to cast if he ever got his hands on one.

Name: Todd Melick (PapaFrog)
Number of previous E3's you've attended:
0 Year your first E3 took place: 2007

What was your overall impression of this year's E3?
It felt manic and quickly thrown together. Most people I ran into seemed like they weren't excited to be there.

How did it compare to E3's of past years? Was it better, worse or just as good?
Not sure about this one. From what coverage I saw of years past, this one didn't seem to be as much of a show. It seemed to be set up to cater more towards journalists, however most of what was shown was not new. There was a sort of disconnect between the intended result and the actual reality.

What was the most memorable moment of this year's E3?
Gamecock. They had a great presence. They were the only publisher I went to that seemed excited to be there and they made the best of a some what crummy situation. All of their games looked/ played fun and exciting.

Who had the best E3: Microsoft, Nintendo or Sony?
Sony. They showed off more of their upcoming titles and had more third party games as well as being the only one to show off semi-new hardware, even if it is a mediocre redesign.

Which game left the biggest impression on you?
Legendary: The Box

Which game was the most disappointing?
Wii-Fit

Did you see any games with the potential to be a sleeper hit? Why did it catch your eye?
Legendary: The Box, and Clive Barkers Jericho. They both not only look amazing but are taking a FPS in a refreshing direction and working towards something greater than just repeating what's already been done.
