Grade: B- | Summary: You Probably Like at Least One Game but It Was Hard to Sit Through

The PC Gaming Show was a slow 1 hour and 50 minutes. Though big names were sprinkled throughout, like Vampire, Shenmue, and Borderlands but there wasn’t as much information being revealed as I expected or wanted based on the pace. This presentation also had the problem of showing off games that didn’t announce a release date or are over a year away.
