Best of E3 Award Winners

BIoshock and assassins creed ohh god no.

as for saints row its good if your into that kinda thing.....

Saints Row only gets better and better. Its filled the maw that GTA4 made after San Andreas.

Off topic but I wish I'd would remake quake 3 's multiplayer...never had as much replay value as that....great storyline too the whole minute and a half cinematic of strogg getting mow down by sargelol

Not a single original IP. *sigh*

Was just about to comment on this.

I is sad panda that I didn't get to try the PSPita while I was down there.

I wasn't holding it against you. It's just the state of the industry. Most of these games I will buy, play, and probably love. I just wish there was room for some creativity and risk in the market, instead of supersized versions of the games that were profitable last year.

BF3 looks and sounds like it will be worth the wait. Sorry COD but your time is short. I never understood the popularity of you anyways. Good campaigns but monotonous multiplayer.

Wow... the top 10 must have, best of the best, cream of the crop games... and I am not in the least bit interested in any of em. If this stupid f*cking trend of naught but sequels continues, I can see my gaming nerd days coming to an end fairly soon. Well, at least in regards to new sh*t...

What, pray tell, are games you are interested in? I'm not being a dick. I really want to kno considering these games are huge titles. Please don't say Call of Duty. Yack.

CoD is fun for about 6 minutes, then... not so much. I was interested in all of these games at some point, dont get me wrong. I loved Bioshock, I have both Saints Row games, I own Uncharted 2, played the **** out of Assasins Creed 2, played Arkham Asylum, played Tomb Raider, the only ones I havent really played are Mass Effect (no XBox), Battlefield, and Elder Scrolls. My issue is not in the quality of these games. My issue is that there is nothing f*cking different from year to year anymore. Everything is just bloody sequels, prequels, HD remakes, new games of an old liscence (star Trek, Star Wars, etc.). Its f*cking BORING. The games that have earned my obsession over the last couple years have been stuff like Borderlands, Red Dead Redemption, Just Cause 2 (I know its a sequel), Little Big Planet, to name a few. I realise that these are all game types that have been made before, there was something totally unique about each one of em. Assasins Creed 13, Bioshock 7, f*cking Tomb Raider 11 and a half... there is no thought anymore. Games these days are like movies, the same thing rehashed over and over and over cause it makes money, not cause people give it props for being a good idea. When I was a kid starting out with gaming, I was awed by it because of the creative posibilities behind it. You could think of anything, any world, any creature, any story, any gameplay element and bring it to life (figuratively speaking, of course). Now its just... well, its kind of pathetic when you think of what COULD be done with the existing systems. Now, we're being told that the next gen systems will be 10 times as powerful, and you know it just means more lifelike CoD, another GTA, more f*cking Street Fighter... Its a simple case of easy money. Read the article posted the other day from the Cracked writer, he makes some very good points about the future of gaming. I, for one, can see a limited future in it for myself if things keep stay on this track.

There were some other cool original IPs too, even if they didn't make the list. Asura's Wrath looked epic, Never Dead was surprisingly fun, RAGE was awesome (really can't wait for that)... Anarchy Reigns seemed like it might be fun, given some polish... And while I didn't get a look at it, Insomniac announced their new multiplatform game, Overstrike. Inversion was kinda nifty, offering a new dynamic for third person shooters. El Shaddai was there, it didn't get announced at the show, but it's definitely something different. Dragon's Dogma is new too... not quite sure what to make of it yet, but definitely interesting. They're out there, it's just they don't get as much hype, because a lot have yet to be established as quality games. Sequels get that advantage.

I find a lot of the new IPs are coming in as digital downloads too, like Puddle, Eufloria, Papo y Yo, PixelJunk SideScroller, PixelJunk LifeLike (same PJ name, but totally different things), Hg, and the motion based titles.

I've never really played much Battlefield, but I picked up Battlefield 2 about a year after it dropped and had some fun with it. Battlefield 3 is looking to be pretty spectacular though; I may actually pick it up.

Must resist urge to tell off dumb asses!
