Revisiting the Most Anticipated Titles of E3

Sat Jul 19, 2008 at 02:20:39 AM EST

I put this post up before E3 asking what titles you looked forward to the most.

My top five were (Gears 2 was my top game, no doubt and it didn't disappoint):

  1.  Killzone 2
  2.  Alan Wake
  3.  Brothers In Arms: Hell's Highway
  4.  Far Cry 2
  5.  Prince of Persia

I'm wondering what you're list was and if it changed at all.  My list changed quite a bit.

And here is my new one with the reasons why:

  1.  Far Cry 2:  No game looks prettier to me than this one.  And the shooting mechanic looks fantastic.  The setting and trailer that had deceiving your enemies was one of the best I saw.  Also, the live demo looked really cool.

  2.  Fallout 3:  God help me, this game looks fantastic.  It looks deep.  The art style is cool and the shooting mechanic looks better than I thought.  Todd Howard didn't seem to have a great demo at first at the Microsoft press conference but the G4 demo was awesome.  Very bloody and using teddy bears as weaponry?  Count me in.  It doesn't seem like a typical RPG.   I hope I'm not disappointed from the shooting mechanics like Mass Effect.

  3.  Resident Evil 5:  I liked Resident Evil 4, but I'm not quite the fanboy that many others, including my brother, happened to be.  But the co-op situations looked incredible and damn if Sheva (sp?) isn't the hottest virtual lady to grace video games I've seen.

  4. Killzone 2:  They didn't show much because they don't want to upstage Resistance 2. Good thing because Resistance 2 just isn't all that interesting to me and this game is.

  5.  Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway:  Yep, this one is still way up there, just barely edging out Prince of Persia for top five.

So there you have it.  My re-shuffled list.  Obviously number one by a long shot is Gears 2.  But I'm still pretty damn psyched about the rest of these.

Let's have yours.
