How much would it cost you to fly to E3 right now, do you think? Well I’ve just checked with Branson: if you wanted to fly to Los Angeles today it would cost you £2,055.65, including taxes, fees, charges and carrier imposed surcharges. But what if I told you we could bring you the best of E3, right now, for absolutely nothing? “You’re a madman, get out of my house,” you’d surely scream as you grab your monitor with both hands, lifting it from your desk and hurling it at the wall, “there’s just no way, PCGamesN!”
But there is. We’ve spent hours compiling almost all of the E3 2013 PC trailers and sticking them into one convenient, all-encompassing post, which is as good as, nay, better than, flying over there and clapping eyes on them yourself. That’s a promise that you can take to the bank and deposit in your “betta believe it” checking account. Awww yisss.
