We all know that E3 is the most anticipated event of the year for the world of videogames, and those of us at Area 5 are going to do everything we can to bring you with us! Next week, CO-OP will have three recorded/edited shows and three LIVE shows! Check out the full schedule for both us and the Totally Rad Show guys at http://revision3.com/e3.

We take a bit of a breather at The Napper Tandy again (the local, Irish beer-me-and-food-me), this week, and talk with G4's Patrick Klepek about what we're most excited to see at E3 next week. The big three, Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo are on everybody's lips and we're all planning to Sam Fisher our way into their events, but for us it's all about the games we already know will have a showing. Follow our predictions and then share with us on our blog or here at Bitmob what you're most excited about!

Patrick was also kind enough to hang around after our E3 chat and talk with Matt about the enigmatically difficult Patapon 2. They both agree that it may be too much for the typical adult life to handle, but it's got some real genius.

It's not every day you get to have a conversation with 1UP's David Ellis and Scott Sharkey on our balcony. They do us a solid and come by to share the love over Nintendo's latest nostalgic rehash: Punch Out!!. Will there ever come a time when our childhood gaming memories will be insufficient cause to make us open our wallets? May that day never come. Watch or download the show after the jump!
