Some game makers spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on gigantic displays to draw the attention of E3 visitors. Others lurk in quiet corners, winning hearts one at a time.

Even at a show like E3 which is an escape from much of the rest of the world, a person's anxieties about real world tragedy can seep in.

Kotaku comic artist Elizabeth Simins got to play #IDARB at E3 this week, a minimalist indie game with countless characters. If only more games could afford to include such diverse characters...

Just because being at E3 means playing a lot of games doesn't mean you kick every game's arse. But asKotaku comic artist Elizabeth Simins shows, that's totally OK.
