The Highlight Reel: July 25, 2008

All of this week’s post-E3 coverage has been leading up to today’s coup de grâce, a final and mighty blow against the atrocity that was the 2008 E3 Media and Business Summit. We end our coverage with the first annual Crispies - awards of a cynical nature that put a spotlight on some of the not-so-glorious events, people and games that let us down the hardest.

We also analyze why E3 was broken and what the ESA can do to make things right in 2009; we deliver part III of our E3 Greatest Hits, which reveals the top five games of the show, and Gus Mastrapa’s bittersweet look back at what games tugged on his heartstrings and what games left him with heartburn. Buckle up, because this will be a bumpy ride.
