E3 2010 Awards

Below are the titles that stood out overall at this year's E3 regardless of platform or genre.

Halo: Reach

Halo: ReachWe weren't sure how well Bungie would do with this, considering it's their last Halo title, and Halo 3 and ODST (despite being good) weren't as impressive as previous games. It's good to know then that this game is jam packed full of features and looks incredible. It's a return to the IPs peak, and there are some pretty impressive stories being told. Because it's set before the events of the first game it gives it a new and fresh feel. And we're allegedly going to see the Master Chief make an appearance...

 

Deus Ex: Human Revolution

Deus Ex: Human RevolutionThere's nothing more to say about this game really. Being a hard-ass in a game is fun enough, but choosing how you're hard-ass progresses through the game is even more fun. You'll find a million things to do here and this is definitely an example of how to reboot a franchise. You'll have more from us soon on this...

 

Rage

RageDespite it looking a little bit like Borderlands, Rage is not an RPG shooter. From the guys that made FPS games, id Software, comes their first new IP in over a decade. Now it's a little risky, but the emphasis is on guns and shooting, and not on speech, weapon selection and the like. Here you can shoot whatever the heck you want with whatever weapon you want. You can carry as much as you like in your inventory, it's not limited. And it looks gorgeous.

 

Hydrophobia

HydrophobiaWe had to give this a best of show because this game is doing so much that others aren't doing. The fluid mechanics in itself, which took seven years to perfect, is enough for this to win it alone, but the fact this is a full game, digitally distributed, using technology we've not seen before, as well as re-defining the way a games are built (the proprietary engine used allows for game designers to double up as artists). Not only is this pushing the envelope on games technology and delivery, but it's pushing expectations on all fronts.

Civ V, Brink, SWtoR and Hydrophobia are 4 I'm keeping my eye on.

Civ V is just a disaster for my social life, I am assuming. :P

Also, never really saw much about Hydrophobia before E3, looks very cool.

For me it's all about Brink, I'm just disappointed its been delayed until next year :(

technology I think I was more impressed with Move than Kinect you just didn't have that lag and also it seems more natural than jumping and moving around like the Kinect

I'm waiting for Mafia 2 to tell us system specs and then go a build a new system to compliment it.

As for Console releases...I was hoping for some decent arcade stuff. It looks like i got my wish, interesting titles but Hydrophobia looks stunning!!! - going to set a new standard for Digital Downloads without a doubt!
