You are currently viewing an archival version of GF! Questions? Suggestions? Comments? I was wandering around Kentia Hall at E3 2002 on a break when I stumbled across Ballerium. The break was necessary. After a few hours of madly jotting down notes and avoiding the three-dollar sodas, the need to escape on a thirty-minute "let’s-go-play-with-toys" break was not only necessary, it was required. Required to keep my brain from exploding with the noise, to prevent myself from breaking into hysterical laughing, or having conversations with non-existent game characters. It was required for survival, but it was also short-lived. Stumbling across Ballerium was the E3 equivalent of accidentally getting your hair tangled in an electrical socket while lying down to take a nap. Majorem, the developers of Ballerium, had been on my list of things to see before the end of the day, and so, though their booth was a little off the beaten path and I suspected I might have been the only gold Media badge they’d seen all day, I found myself taking more notes than if I’d stuck upstairs. Such is the tough life of a video game reviewer.
