I think you are going to have problems with the title of this thread. This is merely a best of show thread. Which doesn't necessarily mean these titles will live up to the accolades. Especially since not all the developers even attended the E3 conference. The games are not being awarded as much as the presentation is being awarded.

I am actually rather concerned about Little Big Planet and Fallout 3 getting so much hype. Demos of a game are not necessarily indicative of how good or poor the game will be. That can only be judged through prolonged play.



LBP was the best game shown by miles and i hated fallout 3. i dont know what i have got against it but i really do not like that game



Fallout is gonna completely ruin my life.



go lbp go

"Why post something like this when all it will get is PS3 owners blinded to reality replying? BOTH THE PS3 AND BLUE-RAY WILL NOT LAST 3 YEARS! TECHNOLOGY CHANGED TOO FAST!"

"is it Wii FIt that has sold as many as PS3's sold? Thats a LOL Look at the total sales of software is it just me that sees Nintendo titles hitting 10m+ and you say they arent making a difference? Another LOL!"

"Hell, with all the negative hype Sony spin, people just aren't interested cost is too high and to get the true HD experience (1080p, 7.1 surround) you will need a $1000+ system. THAT IS GOING TO DO IT IN A RECESSION! PS4 will not happen"

Hmmm.......where are the Wii games?
