E3, we hardly knew ye.

So, this year's E3 has come and gone. The coverage has been everywhere, and I'm sure you've read enough already. I won't bore you with a 5 page article about things that you may or may not care about and things you have probably already read about elsewhere. Instead, I'll just list the stuff that stood out to me and the games I'm looking forward to.

First of all, I must tip my hat in Sony and Microsoft's general direction for their great job of integrating E3 into their Live and PSN services. It was great being able to download demos, trailers and more the moment they were announced at E3. Really, a great feature. Shame on Nintendo for not doing this, but they don't really care. Now, on to the games:
