Kane and Lynch 2 getaway rides

LOS ANGELES--The Electronics Entertainment Expo, or E3, celebrates its 15th iteration this year.

Much of the big news was announced during the keynotes earlier in the week. But the Expo itself, which takes place in the Los Angeles Convention Center, is where the press and general public have access to 720,000 square feet of exhibit space filled with demos of upcoming titles.

Outside, cycle rickshaw riders, paid for by IO Interactive to promote the Kane & Lynch sequel, offer to cart attendees between the two halls where exhibits are taking place.
