5 big video game trends from E3 2016

Lydia Ainouz draws a small crowd to watch her playing the Yakuza video game during the opening day of the Electronic Entertainment Expo. The Electronic Entertainment Expo wrapped Thursday, giving retailers, distributors and video game fans a taste of what interactive fun is arriving this year and beyond. Women are playing more key roles in video games beyond just serving as damsels in distress, or worse, as discarded victims. And game makers are including a few more lead characters who aren't white. More women took the biggest stages at E3, including Electronic Arts' Jade Raymond, whose EA Motive Studio is working on a series of Star Wars games, and Microsoft's Shannon Loftis, the head of Microsoft Studios Publishing.
