I took it upon myself to play each offering and provide the insight on just how well they portray the expected performance on the final product.

PPR 42

We are here a week early, to bring you our hits and misses from this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo. The crew will discuss what they have been playing, as well as gather feedback from our listeners in our Select Feedback section. Afterwards the group dives right into all the news and announcements that make up the 2011 E3, and somehow try to piece it all together. It's difficult to try and cover all the bases in just one episode, so if there is anything that we may have missed or you would like to see discussed feel free to comment on the episode or hit the message boards for more topics. Don't forget to rate and review us on iTunes and Zune so that we can reach more and more listeners. Thanks and enjoy!
