Last H2H winner (Street Fighter vs. Mortal Kombat): Street Fighter
E3 week is officially here, so GamerNode is pitting two of the biggest U.S. gaming conventions against each other in gladiatorial combat. In one corner, we have the E3 Media & Business Summit, and in the other, we have the Penny-Arcade Expo. While E3 has been scaled down over the past few years, PAX has only grown from its humble roots, and is now a formidible opponent to the once-mammoth Electronic Entertainment Expo.
