How to survive E3: an easy guide

E3 is in six weeks. It's pant-shitting scary, and that's only when you're covering it from home. But what if you're at the Los Angeles Convention Center itself? God bless 'ye.

IGN's got a handy guide on everything you need to know on the event, just in case you've been living under a rock for the past 15 or so years.

We're embracing E3, though, this year: Sony, Microsoft and Ubisoft, just to name a few, are all set to drop the bombs come the week beginning June 13 with MS's Natal event.

E3 itself doesn't formally start until June 15, but we'll be there to cover every waking second while drinking Lucozade and Red Bull.

Build those bunkers fast, the countdown is on.
