E3 2010: Every Game I Saw

I got to see a lot of games at E3. I thought it would be fun to write a little bit about every single one of them. Note that I'm only including games that I either got to play or saw in demo form. Also note that this list is in alphabetical order.


Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood: I was skeptical of this one, but the multiplayer mode is really fun and unique.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow: It is a God of War clone, but it is a very pretty God of War clone.

Crysis 2: It's actually not as ridiculously good looking as I was expecting. I think I'm spoiled.

Dead Space 2: This looks gorgeous. It is -- visually speaking -- the best-looking game I saw at the show. This may do for Dead Space what Uncharted 2 did for its series.

Disney Sing It: Family Hits: According to the PR person standing next to me, I am awesome at this game.

 

DJ Hero 3D: This is a surprisingly great handheld interpretation of DJ Hero. Also, it's in 3D, which is always a nice touch.

Donkey Kong Country Returns: It's a very fun co-op game. It is also surprisingly challenging. Some of the motion controls need a little refinement.

Enslaved: Odyssey to the West: The game looks decent enough, but the demo was ridiculously long. I think Bitmob cofounder Demian Linn is qualified to review it after his session with it.

Epic Mickey: Anyone who knows me knows how much I'm looking forward to this one. Erasing and painting is a blast and easy to do. I noticed enough Disney references to make my brain explode.

Fable 3: I don't get it. I thought I was supposed to be a king or something in this game. Instead I just fought shadow creatures in a cave. It pretty much just seems like Fable 2 to me.

Gran Turismo 5: This is the most impressive 3D title I saw. The dashboard view blows my mind. It's the most realistic gaming experience I had at E3, for sure.

Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep: It plays exactly like Kingdom Hearts 2, which pleases me. The load times were ridiculous. Hopefully, the game will have the option for a data install.

Kirby's Epic Yarn: It's a beautiful-looking game. The demo is very simple. I hope the actual product is a little more challenging.

Kung Fu Rider: It's a PlayStation Move game where the player rides around in a shopping cart by jerking the controller around. I wasn't impressed.

Two Worlds 2!!!??? I did not realize the original warranted a sequel!

LBP2 could be sooo good. I'm crossing fingers, toes, eyes and legs that it will be.

Lords of Shadow is not a pretty God of War clone.It is an abomination.

Hey, what about that one Pac-Man game with the built-in cup holders?

I am OK with Fable 3 being just more Fable 2, despite Petah's attempts to oversell the kingly aspects.

@Brian That was, um, technically outside of the show.
