It's been a hectic few weeks, not just the one, and with settling in after E3 as well as getting on top of all the great info we grabbed from the event, AusGamers' Weekly Wrap took a short break. But we're back with arguably the biggest wrap yet, and it's only going to keep being full (and tasty) with all the great gaming we have for you ahead (on top of more post-E3 stuff, we also have new hands-on sessions in the works as well as a massive manifest of reviews to roll out).

So don't mind us as we recap some of the early post-E3 features we managed to put together. After all, you might have actually missed the, and we wouldn't want that now, would we? So sit back and click through with all of the links provided below...

That's it from us for last week, but this week has heaps in store, so be sure to stay tuned for more news, review, previews and interviews, right here on AusGamers.

it doesn't rhyme?

WTF, here's the real wrap up: Michael jackson died, and my shoe thread f***ing rocked.

it might have rocked, but not enough to make the wrap :D

Maybe try harder this week and see if you can reach that ever-elusive plateau

I'm pretty sure if Ausgamers replaced Good Game I would be happy. The quality of your stuff is far superior.

hah, the good game presenters are entertaining and have good charisma, not saying that the steve doesn't, just, yeh, would never happen

steve is more of a writer, his interviewing skills aren't all that great. id prefer if someone like swiss cheesemen took the stage.

now there's something id watch every week

I usually find oz gaming shows awkward, but I like the good game guys :S

Also AusGamers iphone app ftw!

How can you like the good game guys? Its Skinny McTwitch and his co host aussie with the fake american accent from too much ventrillo.

Well each to their own, they certainly annoy me but i still have wound up watching a few eps. Its weird how they quite visibly juggle trying to sound nerdy while being charismatic to keep a general audience from walking away. I find it un-natural.

It's worth pointing out - from a charisma point of view, that shows like Good Game get multiple takes and actually have a scriptwriter (I know because he's a mate of mine), so they're in a controlled environment, whereas most of our videos are all done on zero sleep, and running from one appointment to the next at a massive tradeshow.

Not saying I have charisma like the dudes on GG, because I think they're awesome - but I think if I was in a controlled environment, I could charm you all a bit more.

That said, I like being a bit guerrilla about it all ;)

if Ausgamers replaced Good Game I would be happy.

I was watching Good Game the other night, I don't know the hosts personally, but they just came across as annoying, It is definitely appealing to either the general audience or the casual person that has played a game and thought them selves as pro.

But yeah i watched a few Ausgamer videos and I was watching someone who was more knowledgeable and actually had something that was worth listening to.

Also In the few episodes that I have seen i never saw any interviews, it was just these guys opinions. But yeah Good Work Ausgamers.
