3- Jamie Kennedy Bombs at Activision Conference (2007)

It's safe to assume that "comedian" Jamie Kennedy is considered hip in some (small) circles. Activision made a gamble at E3 2007 by hiring the Malibu's Most Wanted star to emcee the company's press conference. What ensued was the worst comedic show on stage in LA this side of Michael Richards. The seemingly-stoned Kennedy insulted gamers, displayed a lack of knowledge for pretty much every single Activision title, and was shown up comedically by just about every guest, as well by a few audience members. This was a powerfully awkward performance.

2- ESA Downsizes E3 (2007)

The glitz and glamour of E3 during its first 12 years may have been a tad overblown, but in a sense, it reflected the larger-than-life industry it represented. While E3 was technically "industry-only," developers had no qualms with spending millions to attract the attention of tens of thousands of show-goers for more than a decade. Shortly after 2006's show, however, things changed. In July 2006, the ESA announced major changes for the next year, but nobody could have expected the neutered version that came to pass a year later. Instead of being held in LA, the show took place in the lower-key city of Santa Monica. Instead of having the action take place on the massive floor of a convention center, most companies chose to demo top titles in hotel suites, with the "show floor" consisting of plain vanilla kiosks at the barren Barker Hangar. There were faint glimmers of glamour during the "big three" press conferences, but when you consider Microsoft did its conference from a high school, the stark reality of show without a set of balls became painfully apparent. Will this year bring even more embarrassing moments? We wouldn't be surprised in the slightest

1- Sony's Press Conference of Fail (2006)

The end of the reign of Sony as the King of Consoles began with perhaps the worst gaming press conference of all time. At E3 2006, Sony revealed the substandard Sixaxis, the half-baked release crop of titles, and the obscenely high launch price of the PlayStation 3. Unlike previous shows, where Sony was seen as the industry leader, the mix of ineptitude and arrogance on display at this show led to a rough start for the PS3 console. At least the internet got a few memes out of it.
