G4 Rewind

E3 (the REAL one) is finally back after taking a few years off and while the majority of us STILL can't get in, G4 is once again the official broadcaster and will be attempting simulate the experience as best possible via a 2D screen with stereo sound (i.e. your TV).

Here's a rundown of G4's E3 2009 coverage (all times EST):

Monday, June 1

1PM: Microsoft Press Conference (COMMERCIAL FREE), followed by post-show roundtable and interview with MS's Shane Kim.

4:30PM: EA and Ubisoft Press Conference

5:30PM - 10PM: AOTS/X-Play E3 discussion, hands-on demos of DJ Hero, Bayonetta and Alpha Protocol, various other interviews and spotlights.

10PM: King of Kong (if you haven't seen it yet, set your friggin' DVR!)

12AM: Revenge of the Nerds (again, DVR!)

Tuesday, June 2

11AM: Nintendo & Sony Press Conferences (COMMERCIAL FREE)

12PM - 4PM: Roundtable discussion, interviews with Reggie Fils-Amie and Jack Tretton

Sometime between 12PM and 9PM: Steve Weibe attempts Donkey Kong record, hands-on demos of God of War III and Heavy Rain, previews of Modern Warfare 2, Halo: ODST, Assassins Creed 2 and Brutal Legend.

Thursday, June 4

6PM - 9PM: Last day from Show Floor. AOTS/X-Play show floor coverage, interviews & discussion. Hands-on demos of Tony Hawk: The Ride, Mafia 2 and Ratchet and Clank.

All in all, it pretty much means you need to clear up space on your schedule or your DVR. Not sure if they're doing a wrap up on Friday or not, but either way it's plenty of coverage for what is probably going to be a BIG year for E3 announcements.
