The Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), one of the biggest video game conferences of the year, has already seen plenty of big announcements.

Microsoft, Activision Blizzard, Electronic Arts, and Ubisoft all have made big announcements that fans are excited about.

It's easy to miss the expo with news from Microsoft about acquiring LinkedIn, a Fed meeting, and the constant drone from the presidential election, but E3 could represent a big upside for companies that make video games, and shouldn't be ignored.

There are more than 2.6 billion gamers in the world right now. Virtual reality and mobile gaming are exciting opportunities to expand that market even further and many companies had announcements that aimed at getting involved in those areas.

Only time will tell which announcements represent the most value, but here are some of the clear standouts so far.
