My Thoughts:

• First off, I am very disappointed that the press conference was pre-recorded and not live.
• MGS3D: Snake Eater.  Not really interested.  I own and enjoyed the game when it was out for the PS2 but that's about it.
• PES2012. Football game.  Enough said.
• Never Dead. The unique thing about this game is that you can't die; and no other game has this?  Kirby's Epic Yarn does.  Also, dialogue is poor in the trailer.
• Silent Hill Collection.  Includes: Silent Hill 2 and Silent Hill 3, upgraded to HD.  What about the first game?
  
• Silent Hill: Book of Memories.  Exclusive new title for Sony's NGP (this will be renamed when Sony officially reveals the name).
• Silent Hill: Downpour.  Looks great.  I'm not a Silent Hill fan and this game is scary and freaky---just as a Silent Hill game should be.
• Transfarring System.  Good concept but I don't see the point.  You'd have to own 2 copies of each game, a copy for each platform you wish to play on.  Waste of money, in my opinion.
• Metal Gear Solid HD Collection.  Includes: Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, all upgraded to HD.  What about Metal Gear Solid 1?!  Not a collection without it.
• Zone of the Enders HD Collection.  Includes: Zone of the Enders 1 and Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner.  NO ZONE OF THE ENDERS 3?!  Same with the MGS HD Collection, good bundle for those who missed it.
• Overall, very disappointed this year.
  

My Thoughts:

• Modern Warfare 3.  Opening the show with an epic warzone on the seas.  Looking great with large set pieces.  Looking forward to it.
  
• Tomb Raider (2012).  Never was into the Tomb Raider games, due to their puzzle-oriented designs.  However, this reboot looks more action based.  Might have to buy this.
  
• EA Sports Games (2012).  Sports, enough said.
• Mass Effect 3.  With Kinect support!  At first, I was disappointed to hear this but it doesn't downgrade the gameplay, it enhances it.  Great use.
  
• Ghost Recon: Future Soldier.  Another title with Kinect support.  Hope it supports the controller and not use your hands.  The weapon customization was pretty cool.
  
• Future Tom Clancy titles to include Kinect.  Same features I suppose?
  
• Next Xbox 360 Dashboard, including Live TV and YouTube.  Heard the Giant Bombers talk about the problems with the current dashboard with Kinect, it looks to fix those issues.
  
• UFC on Xbox LIVE.  Meh.
  
• Gears of War 3.  Silverbacks!  Dude, this game has mechs.  Looking good.
  
• Ryse.  Just a CG trailer with some gameplay.  Don't know how to feel about it yet.
  
• Halo: Combat Evolved - Anniversary.  So yeah, it's Halo 1... in HD, with online multiplayer.
  
• Forza Motorsport 4.  Not really a racing car fan but looks good.
  
• Fable: The Journey.  Kinect-only title?  Not sure if it'll be what the infamous Peter Molyneux promises.
  
• Minecraft.  Really?!  People actually care about playing this with Kinect?
• Disneyland Adventures.  Pass.
  
• Kinect: Star Wars.  The long awaited Kinect title... doesn't look all that good.  On rail action.
  
• Sesame Street: Once Upon a Monster.  Great game for the little ones.
  
• Kinect Fun Labs.  Finger, facial, clothing and object tracking/scanning... holy shit!  Pretty cool... for developers to integrate into their games.  GET MORE PRECISE!
  
• Kinect Sports: Season Two.  Pass.
  
• Dance Central 2.  Hell yus, multiplayer! 
  
• Halo 4.  Really?  REALLY?!  Fuck.  Fucking fuck fuck... guess I'll have to buy this now.

My Thoughts:

• Mass Effect 3.  MARCH 6th 2012!!!  No mentions of the Kinect stuff but good demo overall.  Looking GREAT!
  
• Need for Speed: The Run.  So you can now get out of the car and do some QTE (Quick Time Events).  A nice twist to a mainly-car driving game but still largely a car driving game (meaning sealed, circuit racing with indicators on where you should go).  Would've liked it if they made it open world driving.
• Star Wars: The Old Republic.  Mentions of raids and such (which was previously announced in a trailer, released earlier before E3) and a remake of past trailers was shown.  No actual gameplay footage.  No worries, wasn't interested in the game anyways.
• SSX (2012).  Dudes be snowboarding.
• EA Sports Games (2012).  Sports, enough said.
• The Sims Social.  A stab at Farmville on Facebook.  No comment.
• Overstrike.  Insomniac's new multi-platform title.  CG trailer about the characters shown but no gameplay or features.  Nothing to say about it.
• Frostbite 2 Engine preview.  Looking good.
• Battlefield 3.  October 25th 2011!  Fuck yes!
• Origin download service.  EA is trying really hard to get it into people's heads... "yo, we also have a Steam-like service!"
• Oh forgot: Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning.  Looks good but can't help but compare the graphics to WoW.
  

My Thoughts:

• Rayman: Origins.  A 2D side-scroller debuted last year.  Looks fun.
  
• Driver: San Francisco.  So they kept the "switch between cars magically" system.  Only a CG trailer was shown, no gameplay.  Not enough info to comment.
  
• Far Cry 3.  At first, I thought it was a "I Am Alive" title but disappointed that it wasn't.
  
• Brothers in Arms: Furious 4.  Inglourious Bastards with Battlefield Bad Company 2 stuff?  Not interested.
  
• The Adventures of TinTin: The Game.  Hey, it's TinTin.  Next.
  
• Ghost Recon: Future Soldier.  Dude, I was excited when Ubisoft announced it a long time ago... still (and even more) interested now.  No release date so ETA: 2012.
  
• Ghost Recon: Online.  The free-to-play multiplayer game.  Sorry, I'm only interested in Ghost Recon: Future Soldier.
  
• Trackmania 2: Canyon.  Having watched the Quick Look of a similar title, I suspect it'll be the same crazy customization; but I'm not interested in it.  Pass.
  
• Raving Rabbids: Live & Kicking.  Looks hella fun!
  
• Rocksmith.  Guitar Hero reborn... through Ubisoft's vision.
  
• Your Shape: Fitness Evolved 2012.  An exercise game.  No gameplay footage but I suspect that it'll make you sweat a lot more than before.
  
• Assassin's Creed: Revelations.  The end... or is it?  Both awesome CG and gameplay footage.  On a personal note, I don't like the CG trailer music.  But, I WILL buy this game!
  

My Thoughts:

• Uncharted 3.  Dude, it's Uncharted 3.
  
• Resistance 3.  As much as I try to like the Resistance series, I just can't.  What was shown at this year's E3, does not wow me.  Sorry Insomniac.
  
• God of War: Origins Collection.  3DHD upgrades of PSP games - God of War: Chains of Olympus and God of War: Ghosts of Sparta.  Available sometime in September 2011.  Is it necessary to release a 3DHD version of this game?  You could've ported it to the PS Vita.
  
• Ico & Shadow of the Colossus Collection.  3DHD upgrades of those original games.  Also available sometime in September 2011.  I've missed these games and will definitely pick this up.
• 24" 3DHD PlayStation-branded TV.  This TV features a split-image system where two people view a different image... how this works is unknown.  I think depending on where they sit (?) or what "player" their 3D glasses are assigned to (example: player 1 sees image A, player 2 sees image B--on the same screen).  A bundle is offered, including: TV, Resistance 3, 3D glasses and a 6ft HDMI cable for $499 (£305.52 as of June 7 2011, 3;26am BST).  Unknown if this is only for US or if it'll be available in other countries.  For a 24" 3DHDTV... no thanks.  I'm fine with my 32" HDTV.  Fuck 3D.
• NBA2K12.  Now supporting PlayStation Move.  What can I say?  It's a basketball game.  Next.
  
• Medieval Move.  The way you use different weapons depending on the way you use the PlayStation Move controller is cool; but the game seems to be on rails.  Wasted potential.
  
• Infamous 2.  Why are they showing inFamous 2?!  It's already out!
• StarHawk.  The CG trailer shown looks cool, but I doubt the gameplay will match it.  I'll wait for more info before I decide.
• Dust 514.  Heard about this game a long~ time ago and now confirmed to be PS3-exclusive!  I'm very interested but I have questions I need answered... will there be a subscription?  How do I play it--do I need to have an EVE game or connection?  NEED MORE INFO!
  
• BioShock: Infinite.  HOLY SHIT!  Very excited about this game... a first for the franchise as well!  I didn't like BioShock 1 or 2.  I will definitely pick this up.  Also, Elizabeth is hot... just saying.  The PS3 version will include BioShock 1 on the PS3; on the same disc; for FREE!  Also, Ken Levine teasing about a PS Vita BioShock game; cool.
• Star Trek.  It's a Star Trek game.
  
• SSX (2012).  PS3 version gets an extra Mt. Fuji mountain to play on; on the same disc; for FREE.
  
• Need for Speed: The Run.  PS3 version gets 7 extra "super cars"; on the same disc; for FREE.
  
• Battlefield 3.  PS3 version gets Battlefield 1943; on the same disc; for FREE.
• PlayStation Suite.  A system to allow PlayStation certified devices (such as: certain Android phones) to access "PlayStation-like experiences".  So I guess, PlayStation Network?
• NGP is officially known as PlayStation Vita (PSV from hereon).  There are two models available: Wifi and 3G+Wifi.  The NGP has all the features it was announced with, which is surprising.  Price announced at: Wifi-only for $249 (£152.41 as of June 7 2011, 3:52am BST); and 3G+Wifi for $299 (£184.64 as of June 7 2011, 3:53am BST); but I suspect retailers will round it out at £150-£160 for Wifi and £180-£200 for 3G+Wifi.  PSV was told to be available "this holiday" 2011 but is that for US, or elsewhere also?  SPECIFICS PEOPLE!
  
• PS Vita: Party Room.  Basically a copy of Xbox 360's Party system.
• PS Vita: Near.  You have local play, online play, ad-hoc play and now "near play"... which connects you to someone nearby who has a PS Vita.  Something like Nintendo 3DS' Street Pass?
• Uncharted: Golden Abyss.  An Uncharted game for PS Vita.
• Ruin.  An action-adventure game for the PSV AND PS3... ooh~ snap Kojima!  Took your Transfarring tech and hit you with it.  All you need to do for Ruin is save in the Cloud to play from PS3 to PSV; and vice-versa.  None of this transferring crap.
• Modnation Racers (PSV).  Been shown the customization features of the game, it looks very easy and cool.
• LittleBigPlanet Touch.  Like Modnation Racers (PSV), you can play and create the game using the touch controls.
• Street Fighter X Tekken (PSV).  So Street Fighter X Tekken has come to the PSV... why?!  Easy money I guess.  Also, Cole (from inFamous) in this game?  Out of place, dude.
• Also, forgot to mention: Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time.  Nothing special, just a CG announcement trailer.  Was never into this franchise, so no real comment from me.
  

My Thoughts:

• Orchestra playing Zelda songs; opening the keynote.  Zelda's 25th birthday and a great presentation and designs for the monitors.
• Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening.  Originally a Game Boy game, now available on the Virtual Console for 3DS.  Priced $6 (£3.64 as of June 7 2011, 8:08pm BST).  I don't have a 3DS to check the actual price.
  
• Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D.  3D, upgraded version of the original game, featuring: Hint movies (for newbies), "Master Quest" mode and Boss "Challenge" mode.  I might pick this up but I need a lot of games before I pick up a 3DS.  Total games, including this game: 1.
  
• Legend of Zelda: Four Swords.  Available in September 2011 for the DSi, downloadable for FREE; and features multiplayer.  Pretty cool if you own a DSi and have friends that own one too.
  
• Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword.  Available this Holiday 2011 for Wii.  Special limited edition gold Wii remote controller available on launch.  I didn't enjoy Twilight Princess, so I'm going to wait until a price drop.
  
• Legend of Zelda: 25th Anniversary Symphony.  Hosting events around the world, in Fall 2011.  There will also be 2 music CDs.  First disc is the Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword official soundtrack available for FREE to those who register the game.  Second disc is the Symphony soundtrack, available to purchase at the launch of Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword.  Cool.
  
• Mario Kart (3DS).  3D, upgraded version of Mario Kart, which includes: flying cars, underwater tracks and customization.  Available Holiday 2011.  Mario, friends and foe on cars... yep.
  
• Star Fox 64 3D.  3D, upgraded version of Star Fox 64, which includes: players' face integration and new gameplay controls (gyroscope).  Available in the US, September 2011.  It looks okay.
  
• New Super Mario Bros. Mii.  3D, upgraded version of New Super Mario Bros. Wii, which includes: playing as your Nintendo Mii character.  A minor upgrade from New Super Mario Bros. Wii, not really worth full retail price.
  
• Kid Icarus: Uprising.  Announced at last year's E3, now includes multiplayer.  Available later in 2011.  Personally, I'm not interested.  Pass.
  
• Luigi's Mansion 2.  Another game for Luigi!  I wasn't really interested in the original game for the GameCube, and I'm not interested now.
• Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D.  Why would you pay full retail price for a mediocre game mode?
  
• Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games.  Pass.
• Ace Combat 3D.  Piloting airplanes.  Fuck no.
• Tetris (3DS).  Tetris.
• Cave Story 3D.  I watched the trailer, doesn't look good.
• Resident Evil: Revelations.  Fucking Regenerators. FUCKING REGENERATORS!  FUCK!!!  No thanks.
• Driver: Renegade.  The trailer shown doesn't do the game justice.  Need info.
• Pac-man & Galaga Dimensions.  Two games in one?  I like Pac-man, but only the Xbox LIVE Pac-Man CE DX.
• Tekken 3D.  I don't like Tekken.  Dead or Alive FTW!
• Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D.  I already own Snake Eater for PS2 and don't intend on buying another version.  Pass.
• Nintendo eShop News.  It's out NOW!  Go download it.  You get a FREE Excite Bike 3D and Pokédex 3D.
• Nintendo's next console's controller announced: Wii U.  I understand why they did this but I don't see the longevity for it.  The console has backwards compatibility for Wii games and peripherals.  It will launch in 2012.  The name sounds strange to me too.  (read below for the origin of this controller design).
  
• Third Parties' hardcore games join Nintendo.  Finally!  But when will you see third parties develop with the Wii U as the main console?  Nonetheless, I'm excited to see what games will be developed for this new console.
