E3 2009: Scenes from E3

I’m not sure how many similar shots have been captured (I suspect a lot), but I never have had time to snap shots of E3 before. So this year I grabbed a few.

Modern Warfare 2, I'm guess this will win Best of Show from someone.

Modern Warfare 2: Infinity Ward's game will win best game of the show from at least one media outlet.

At day's end, I had to hide behind the trees to block the setting sun. Assassin's Creed II promises to be better than the 8-million-unit-selling Assassin's Creed 1.
