E3 2012 was considered by many to be the most gun-heavy show we have ever seen. However, looking back upon the week, there really were no more shooters than usual. In fact, most of the games were featured in last year's lineup! So, why was it that we felt there was too much bullet-spewing this year?
The problem was not the abundance of FPS titles, but the lack of anything else to offset them. When you remove the endless sport talk, there was really ... nothing.

A show in which a fat British man who wears sunglasses indoors rants angrily about the injustices of mankind, interspersed with MS Paint doodles of videogame characters doing terrible things.
