Welcome to the GIA's second annual E3 photo album, now an actual "tradition." Other sites are content showing you a scant few pictures of a scant few displays, but the GIA knows that the gaming industry's biggest party is only thrown once a year, and only pictures can bring you closer to the event and help you remember it the best. Join us and our ever-intrepid photographer, Ryan Rumberger, as we trek through the spectale that is E3.

Galleries
The Show Floor
    The beating heart of E3 is not the marble of corporate headquarters, but the dirt of the show floor. Here's a complete look at all the highlights.
The People
    Their only excuse is that they get paid to do this (and yes, this is also the section where you'll find the booth babes).
Space Channel 5
    This year's special gallery was an all-too-easy choice. Both the Space Channel 5 dancers and their fearless leader, Ulala, were spectacular in their regular performances on Sega's stage. Check here for performance shots and a backstage peek.
Outside The Show
    Not all noteworthy E3 events happen on the show floor. With press conferences at hotels, premieres at screening rooms, and parties at movie studios; E3 truly makes L.A. its own.
The Staff and Friends
    Last year's crew of agents is joined by JT, Tami, and Nich as we scope out the show and have our pictures taken in a strange variety of locales.
Swag
    Celebrity autographs or cheap plastic trinkets, E3 always ensures that you'll have plenty of trouble packing for the trip home. Unless, of course, you are like Ed and bring an entire extra suitcase.
