E3 Top 5 Games of the Show



Last years E3 was a complete mess and choosing a top 5 was hard as there wasn't much to choose from this year however has been much better and the selection of games to pick from for this top 5 was easier.

Don't get me wrong though even though this year was much better there were still only a hand full of games to choose from however these were of a much higher standard than last year.

So instead of me just ranting on you want to know what Vagusnet top 5 games of E3 are so here they are.

5. Metroid Other M
Now this was my choice as it came from left field and it shocked the pants off me, never before have i wanted a Metroid game as much as this one and the main reason for this is that it looked freaking awesome.
When Reggie came on to the stage to announce and new mature Nintendo game and that they were teaming up with Team Ninja to do it we weren't expecting it to be a new Metroid game but when that trailer began to run my eyes began to open more and more and as soon as samus face showed up on screen my jaw nearly fell to the floor.
The game itself will take more of a mature 3rd/1st person style however it will still stick to it's standard bright graphics.
There is one other thing that will make this game game even better and thats Samus will talk for the first time and i for one can't wait.

4. Assassins Creed 2
Now i didn't choose this one as i've never played the first game and it hasn't interested me however there are a few friends who think that this is going to be great and like the good person i am i've decided that it should be included in the top 5 somewhere.
The game itself does look great from what has been shown and it has peeked my intrest a little as the stage demo showed off a more rounded game unlike the full on stealth of the first one (if thats wrong then i'm sorry) however it was the graphics that did it for me as this is one lovely looking games.
Even though the stage demo didn't show off much the stuff that was shown and announced makes Assassins Creed 2 more of a rounded game instead of jusr throwing the same thing at you time and time again.
The game itself is out in Novemeber and we should find out more about it before then but already it has a lot of people interested in it.

3. Left 4 Dead 2
Now the top 5 wouldn't be a top 5 if i never included this game as the first one was brilliant but we didn't expect to have a sequel this quickly however i still can't wait for it.
Taking the same premise as the first game you and three other survivors have to kill as many zombies as possible just to stay alive, if that sounds a little basic then you haven't played the first game and you should be shoot for that.
Setting the game in the south this time it has more of a colourful look to it but that doesn't mean that Valve have gone all pussy on us they have however thrown more zombies, special infected, guns and melee weapons into the mix just to make our experience an even better one.
Oh yeh just one more thing thoughs idiots who have signed the petition to stop left 4 dead 2 being made should be lined up and shot as Valve have already said and going by there track record that new things will still be coming out for the first game and that support will not stop for it.
*at time of typing this up the petiton now has over 15.000 signatures.

2. Uncharted 2 Among Thieves
I really really wnated to make this my number one however there was one more game at E3 that just beat it but thats not to say that this will not be special it's completely the opposite if this game doesn't do well then all PS3 owners should hang there head in shame.
I really loved the first game and the first time i saw the second one i was happy that it was going to be more of the same however when it was shown off at Sony press conference i knew that this wasn't just going to be like the first one it was going to trump the first one in so many aspects that only the name of uncharted and the main character will remain the same.
As soon as the stage demo started i knew we were going to see something special and i wasn't wrong the graphics seem much better and the amount of set pieces and explosions seems to be ramped up to that mythic 11.
If you throw in multiplayer as well (i'm hoping to get into the beta) then you have a game that shows what the PS3 can do and that Nintendo and Microsoft fan boys will be crying like lttle school girls as they will not get to experience this game for all its glory.

1 Modern Warfare 2
You can guess that this was going to be number 1 and it shows if you saw the extented demo for it as this game looks amazing.
Now i was saying the smae about World at War last year and i like many thought it was a steaming pile of shit however the buck has been passed back to infinty ward and it shows as what treyarch didn't with world at wars seems like a nes game compared to this.
In the demo we got a little taster of what we can expect and my mouth is watering from that so you can just imagine what the rest of the game is going to be like because they have siad that the demo is taken from and early part of the game and that the rest will feature even more jaw dropping moments.
If there is one game this year that is going to WOW everybody then my money is on Modern Warfare 2 and thats why it's our number 1.

Well that was the last post for this years E3 i hope you enjoyed our little coverage and that we will be back next year with hopfully an even better coverage.
Just incase your interested the show will take place from the14th June 2010.
