Beyond Good & Evil, which has been named both a prequel as well as "2". Either way, wonder how many people have been waiting for that one. I'd guess tens of thousands. I sure as hell was one of them.

I keep getting every so fucking annoyed with the NFS games, it's either bumpercars galore, or there is absolutely fuck-all in the way of story, but still...this one looked interesting.

Anthem is...I dunno. First reaction: "ALL NEW BIOWARE GAME!!!" And then, "And it's a Destiny clone, because THAT will work SO well..."

The new Assassin's Creed looks interesting, on the one hand, what with the setting. Going back, and away from guns and modern sounds great. On the other hand, looking at the gameplay videos? Well, what with a bird that you can steer and who can spot and mark targets, xp-level-up-abilities, the seeming "charge down the middle" mentality, and arrows that FOLLOW THE TARGET...this didn't feel very "assassin", it felt like "Ghost Recon: Ancient Egypt".

Detroit: Becoming Human looked good the first time I saw it. This years showing didn't make it look any less spectacular. I'm really interested in this one.

Battlefront 2....or, is that, Battlefield Star Wars 2? Because, you can't in any way tell me that that wasn't what the first game was.

Skull and Bones looked SO good! So spectacularly so...until I realized that it was a multiplayer only "action adventure game". Because those? Never work out properly.

And then, of course, there is the new Call of Duty...which probably went something like, "Shit, Battlefield has made a new WWOne game! We have to come up with an answer!" "Well, we can't do WWOne, because then everyone will think we're just copying them!" "I KNOW....wait...wasn't there another world war...?" "Yeah...I think so! WWTwo or something like that." "That's IT! We'll do CoD WWTWO! THAT'LL wow everyone! It's new, it's fresh, it's never been done before!" "Genius...GENIUS, I tell you!"

Apart from FC5, which I'm sure will disappoint me, but which LOOKS good, NFS Payback, of which the same, Detroit: Becoming Human which looks great, and BG&E2/Prequel which, well, it's the BG&E2/Prequel...there wasn't really much to wow me in this years E3, in all honesty.
