One of the games I thoroughly enjoyed watching, if not playing, at E3 this year was Epic Mickey for the Wii. Unfortunately when I was around the queue was pretty lengthy and I had appointments to get to so I couldn’t wait around to long, but I did manage to watch a couple of people trying it out for a …
