The biggest exhibition in the world of games has begun. New trailers, game presentations and news are coming in all the time. Here you'll find all the important news and videos.
E3 in Los Angeles always starts earlier. In 2015, Bethesda opened it all up with a press conference on Sunday, meanwhile tons of trailers and announcements are already released days before. In this article, you'll find a handy and always up-to-date overview with the most interesting information and the best video games.

11:50am: the Gwent card game was so popular in The Witcher 3 that it became a separate game. CD Projekt Red has, however, thought of some improvements to make the game occupy even more free time.

8 hours 35: is the successor to Nier, released in 2010. It is being developed by PlatinumGames. It seems the studio has snapped up the rights to every other fighting action game. An austere future and spectacular combat are planned, for 2017 at the earliest.
Day 3 8:10am: The new Zelda game is set to be a departure from previous titles. To that end, an open world that can be explored and resource management are employed.

There are over 100 shrines waiting to be discovered and explored by Link. There will be no shortage of puzzles and challenges. The game will be released in 2017 for Wii U and NX.
Being the game and gadget geek that I am, working at digitec and Galaxus makes me feel like a kid in a candy shop – but it does take its toll on my wallet. I enjoy tinkering with my PC in Tim Taylor fashion and talking about games on my podcast http://www.onemorelevel.ch. To satisfy my need for speed, I get on my full suspension mountain bike and set out to find some nice trails. My thirst for culture is quenched by deep conversations over a couple of cold ones at the mostly frustrating games of FC Winterthur.
