    Mass Effect 2. The darker tone is great and is seems like they are going to fix the crappy stuff(side missions and technical issues). Second would be Conviction.

    Personally, Metroid: Other M stole the show.  Huge surprise, awesome trailer.

    And how New Super Mario Bros. Wii or Alan Wake didn't make the cut on your list baffles me.  Just saying.

    Where's Castlevania? My pick was obvious, but it should be an option

    (edit: GB needs to create the option for users to add choices to polls. every poll on this site seems to be missing an obvious answer.

    While I'm Mr. Mass Effect 2, Splinter Cell is the game I'm most hyped for.

    3 games caught my eye.

    - The Last Guardian
    - Uncharted 2
    - God of War 3

    I got a PS3 off my mate cause he swapped it for weed last year and I havn't ever used it apart from playing Socom and I'm a PC guy but funny enough the 3 games that looked great were on the PS3.


    Never liked Halo
    Never liked GT
    Never liked Splinter Cell
    Didn't like Ass Creed and Swtor is gonna be a dumbed down easy mmorpg thats all zoned and instanced up so ain't interested in that.

    Where's Just Cause 2?!?!?! Besides that, I may vote Splinter Cell: Conviction because it really looks like it is bringing back the franchise in full force.

    Splinter Cell: Conviction
    They just totally blew me away, I was not expecting such greatness, to be honest I'd completely forgotten about the game.
    The overhall they've gone through is great; it just looks like it'll be great :)
    Big surprise for me, just aweomse and i love splinter cell and Sam Fisher!

    Lack of NMH2 on that list dissapoints me. Assassin's Creed 2 it is then.

    No Just Cause 2 sets it to Crackdown 2, but lack of Crackdown 2 gameplay at E3 leads sets it to ME2.

    Picked Mass Effect 2, b/c I was already super hyped for it and seeing it in action was sweet.
    That being said, as other people said Splinter Cell: Conviction came so far out of left field
    I can't help but be exited for it. Which is saying alot since I've never given a danm about the
    series b4.

    I'll just copypaste what I wrote in the Mario trailer thingy


    Super Mario Galaxy was one of the best gaming experiences I've had over these 25 years and was a sublime stroke of genius on all levels. The nostalgia was there, the innovation was there and the love was there.
    I still haven't enjoyed a game on my 360 or PS3 more than that even though I use them a whole lot more than my Wii."  "

    Seriously, my balls are puckering on the very idea of more Mario Galaxy.

    I'll be damned if Uncharetd 2 didn't look as one of the best cinematically driven games i have ever seen. Totally amazing.

    It's easy to just choose Uncharted or God of War 3 but I think those are both just as we should of expected and will be two of the best games of this generation, but I choose something that surprised me.  The Beatles Rock Band, when I first heard of it I thought it would just be another Rock Band with Beatles music and wow, they really did some very awesome stuff.

    It's hard for me to decide when I haven't played most of these.  Game of the show usually refers to a 'game', but that Gran Turismo 5 video was a nice surprise, and they seem to be doing interesting things.

    Splinter Cell Conviction, New Super Bros Wii, DiRT 2, and Uncharted 2 all had excellent showings, and I'm stoked that Super Mario Galaxy 2 will happen, but in the end I must say that Shadow Complex is the game of the show for me. A action shooter metroidvania that I never saw before Monday, and I only have to wait a couple months for it.

    Mass Effect 2 had the most exciting E3 coverage and reveals.  It is tied, for me, with Modern Warfare 2 as the best looking game of E3.
