To the end.

Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure display at the Activision booth, South Hall. Activision flooded their corner of the floor with two-foot-deep fog once every hour, courtesy several deafening fog machines, while two creatures from the game lowered onto the dias on the left. Big show for a small game.

Songbird from BioShock Infinite, behind closed doors at the 2K booth. It's built 1:1 scale.

Nyko demo, West Hall. They're demoing an iffy device that shortens Kinect's effective range, and their swag gift to participants were those red wigs, which were surprisingly popular on the show floor.

Waiting for Duke (2K booth).

Twisted Metal interview, behind closed doors at the Sony booth (West Hall).

Awards and nominations, Mass Effect 3 demo room.

Done and done.
