E3 - one of the world's biggest gaming and technology shows is currently taking place in Los Angles in America.

It's where top game-makers and developers from around the world get the chance to show off some of the cool new games and consoles they have been working on.

It's a massive show which lasts five days and takes place every year.

There have been some huge announcements for gaming fans this year, so we have been taking a look at some of the big ones...

One of the biggest announcements at E3 this year is Microsoft's brand new console: Xbox One X.
