Software megapublisher Electronic Arts has an annual event for editors of game mags and websites to show off upcoming games. Highlights of the day included a Vietnam era helicopter landing in the middle of the EA campus, and the Simpson inspired waitresses. Much of what we saw is under non-disclosure agreements at the time these photos were taken, but many of the games looked fantastic. http://jameso.smugmug.com/Events/Electronic-Arts-Editors/DSC0100/196988462_akcF6-Ti.jpg http://jameso.smugmug.com/gallery/3492469_4E3je/ 2007-09-17T09:17:16Z Copyright 2009, the copyright holder of each photograph.
