E3 2012: Day 1 In Pictures

Hi, I like video games.

RoboBrain and myself have taken it upon ourselves to take the time out of our busy schedules and force ourselves through the painful adventure that is E3. I mean, playing unreleased video games in the sunny city of Los Angeles is stressful as all hell, I don't know we're capable of handling the pressure. Seriously though, we're having a blast down here and while we unfortunately can't take you all with us, we can at least share some of the highlights of the show floor, at least those from day one.

You can bet to see more in the next couple days, but for now hit the jump for our day 1 extravaganza.

Our first hands-on time with the Wii U was more fun than we expected (Nintendo Land)

The Legend of Zelda: Battle Quest was our favorite "attraction" ("they're not mini-games" - Nintendo Rep)  in Nintendo Land, which was surprisingly deep

The Wii U controller was extremely comfortable to hold.

Wii U controller integration with Pikmin 3 (yes, that was announced) allows for players to view entire map while still playing the game.

RoboBrain takes time out of his busy day to strike a pose in Sony's well lit booth.

I (Chris Riley) show off Capcom's fancy water bottles in their press area.

RoboBrain gives the new Devil May Cry game a go, he found it much more fluid than previous iterations despite Dante's constant douchebag quips.

Namco-Bandai's unnecessarily huge booth for Tekken Tag Tournament 2 was ridiculously awesome.

The Elder Scrolls online banners could have been mistaken for at least a few dozen different MMO's with similar, generic art styles.

Calm before the storm, South Hall.

Master Chief's presence was undeniable.
