With E3 around the corner, May is usually more barren than my fan club on any given day. That’s not to say that there aren’t any games coming out, but the biggest guns are usually reserved for the months following the annual gaming extravaganza. Where one side of the industry refrains from going all out, another side takes the opposite approach as this year’s May-day celebration is crammed to say the least.
