BXB's Richard Worrall writes: "The 15th Electronic Entertainment Expo is here! It's time to celebrate, not only because the games industry is about to offer up its hardware and software secrets for the coming year, but because this time, they're doing it in style. After two years of a restructured and downsized event, this year's E3 will be closer to the spectacle of old.

But aside from the things we're going to see and hear, it is timely to reflect on how the event changed, how it came full circle, and just why we love E3 so much."
