Want to know what games are going to be at E3 this year? We're here to help.

by Hilary Goldstein

May 5, 2010 - The Electronic Entertainment Expo (or E3 as the cool kids call it) is just around the corner. Things unofficially kick off June 13 with an evening event from Microsoft, where Project Natal games will be unveiled. Then Monday's press conferences kick off, beginning with Microsoft's at 10 a.m. PST and continuing on to pressers from Ubisoft and EA. Tuesday, June 15, is the official first day of the show and it launches with Nintendo's early morning conference, followed by Sony's at 11:30 a.m. PST. After that, the show floor opens and we start seeing a ton of games. Things go crazy all the way until Thursday, June 17, when E3 2010 closes its doors at 5 p.m. PST.

As we near the show, we get a better sense of what games we'll see. IGN's Big Games List compiles all the titles confirmed by publishers or developers. There are plenty more games we know or expect -- this list isn't for those. These are the things that have been promised publicly. Check the list. Come back to it often. And if you want even more info on what to expect from this year's event, head over to IGN's E3 2010 destination for anything and everything related to the show.

If you're not even sure what E3 is or why you should care, check out IGN's E3 FAQ for everything you never wanted to know. So what games are you looking forward to at E3? Hit up Twitter and give us your thoughts with the hashtag #E3IGN. We'll keep an eye on your tweets. Who knows, yours may even be featured on IGN!

I hope they'll show something of MGS: Rising.

Also, I can't wait for The Lord of the Rings: War in the North.

Hopefully because it's kinda strange it's not on the list. maybe MGS Rising will have another surprise showing at E3.

Oh oh. 360 exclusive

Interested in:

Medal of Honor
Fable III
Civ V
End of Nations
SW: The Old Republic
Force Unleashed II
MGS: Peace Walker
FEAR 3

I'm sure some of the other will pique my interest as the event progresses.

Will have to wait and see

only 2 games interest me on the list... Wheres Japan?

already tons of good games there, but this list will probably double until E3

I don't see Star Wars Battlefront III

Trinity: Souls of Zill O'll. has anybody seen the trailer for this game? i think its the business.
