EGM's 1997 Show Guide to E3

This is made by the editors of EGM, so it has an honest look at a bunch of games from E3 1997, and it's not just an ad. There is a great map of the exhibition floor showing were the top 10 companies are, like Sony, Sega, Nintendo, Konami, Acclaim, EA, and a few more. They show you a pie graph with a breakdown of what percentage of games were shown for each system. A lot of this is written by Dan Hsu, with other parts from Ed Semrad, Shawn Smith, and Crispin Boyer. There’s even a small interview with Bruce Willis.

This is a nicely written 15-page look at lots of new games at E3 that probably just didn’t fit in the proper EGM issue. Many games only have one sentence about them (like 10-12 words) but the point was looking at every little screenshot square to see if it might be a game that you were interested in. This is a great guide to the show.
