This year's E3 kept us extremely busy! We are excited to share just a glimpse of all the news about our games coming out of the show. In this newsletter we'll catch you up on the latest coverage of RAGE, Fallout: New Vegas, Brink, and Hunted: The Demon's Forge coming out of the convention. But first we have some exciting news to share about this year's QuakeCon.

id Software and Bethesda Softworks today announced that all attendee registration for QuakeCon 2010 will be handled on-site through a new and improved registration process. Designed to reduce the time BYOC (Bring-Your-Own-Computer) attendees spend waiting to register equipment, and generally better serve all those in attendance, this new and entirely on-site process will streamline every guest's registration experience while still accommodating anyone that wants to take part in the BYOC.

QuakeCon also offers non-stop fun and entertainment for those who don't bring their own computers. The world's leading technology companies will be on hand to demonstrate their latest hardware and software in the 45,000 square foot exhibit hall, and every day of QuakeCon is packed with contests, entertainment, announcements, panel discussions, and parties. Attendees will also have their first chance to get their hands on upcoming Bethesda Softworks titles like Brink, Fallout: New Vegas, and Hunted: The Demon's Forge.

For more information, head to Quakecon.org. We'll see you at the show!
