I wish I was there. I could have been there. But it was too expensive. Anyways, here are my thoughts for the games that were shown at E3:
Let's start of with one of my favorite franchise: Gears of War 3. I could be biased about this game because it's my one of my favorite franchise, but the game looks amazing. What's not to like? The enemies (lambent mutants) looks bad-ass; There is a 4 player co-op; A double-barreled shotgun and a Pendulum War Era Lancer, with a normal bayonet attached as compared to the chainsaw; And let's not forget that they finally have some female COGS. I know Lady and probably a ton of female Gears players are excited about the female COGS.

Call of Duty Black Ops - It's the same like all of the other COD games except that it takes place during the Cold War, Laos, and maybe Vietnam. Not saying it's bad because I enjoyed all of the COD storyline.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Medal of Honor - Finally, Medal of Honor might be good again and probably be better than Modern Warfare. IMO, Medal of Honor hasn't been good since Medal of Honor: Frontline. And that was like 8 years ago. Adding a Linkin Park music in the trailer is a nice touch. Although it doesn't show much gameplay, but we'll get to try out the beta later this month. So I'm excited for that.

Medal of Honor Metal Gear: Rising - Holy Toledo! This game looks bad-ass. I'm not saying this because I'm a fan of the Metal Gear franchise, but using the sword looks awesome. Just watch:

Metal Gear Solid: Rising Spider-Man: Shattered Dimension - Is this the Spider-Man game that the comic fans have been waiting for? I'd say maybe. The graphics looks OK. The gameplay looks like all of the other Spider-Man games. But with some improvements. Like they finally add the "lock-on enemies" feature. So no more camera angles going everywhere when fighting the bosses. Other than that, I'm very intrigued on the storyline.
And the creators said they'll announced the 4th dimension at SDCC. I can't wait to check that out.

Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions Star Wars: Old Republic - Finally, more news on the next KOTOR. The only problem is: I'm not a fan of MMORPG. It's too bad because I love the first 2 KOTOR.
Assassins Creed: Brotherhood - I enjoyed the second game. But IMO, the game was overrated. The new game looks exactly like the same as AC2.
NHL 11 - I'm a hockey fan so I'll enjoy this game. Minor improvements like the stick-breaking or players making some amazing plays while they're down on the ice. But the biggest selling point is the addition of the CHL.

Child of Eden - Oh man. This game surprised me. It looks AMAZING. Love the music and I'm very interested of the gameplay. It reminded me of Rez.

Child of Eden I tried to review all of them, but I just didn't have time to write all of it. Some of the missing are: Dead Space 2, Fable 3, Fallout: Vegas, Crysis 2, Shank, rest of Nintendo games like Metroid: M, Ghost Recon, and many more. Maybe next one?
