So E3 was a big hit for Sony this year, no doubt about it. Now that we've seen new games and a ton of new content on the ones we already knew about, what are you looking forward to the most? Doesn't have to be exclusive or anything, just wanted to know what you guys are looking forward to the most.

10. Metal Gear Solid Rising - Feels weird, this game not being at the top of my list. But there are a number of things holding it back. First is the lack of any real trailer, then there's the fact its a new team working on it, and not forgetting Hideo Kojima has made it more than clear he doesn't approve of the game. However, its a new console Metal Gear. It'll be great gameplay wise I'm sure.

9. Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier - We didn't see much coverage at the show, but that doesn't change the fact this is the sequal to my favorite platforming seires of all time (or game anyway, I'm not a huge fan of Jak 2 and 3, but the original is fantastic).

8. White Knight Chronicles - Uncertainty holds this RPG back from getting higher on the list. Will it offer us a rock solid RPing experience, if a bit typical of Japanese gaming? Or will we see more. I'm personally hoping it raises the bar for console RPGs after a slew of mediocre Square RPGs last year.

7. Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time - This game didn't get anywhere near the gameplay blowout it deserved. It would have taken Sony 2 minutes to show an exciting new trailer for the masses, but instead all we got was Brain Allgier recycling the same points over and over again. Its going to be an incredible game that will fill the hole left in my heart with the current series cliffhanger. Plus it looks gorgeous.

6. Super Mario Galaxy 2 - A sequal to the highest rated exclusive this gen... and it isn't being talked about anywhere near as much as I thought it would. This will be awesome, there's no doubt about that. I just hope they make it a difficult experience this time round.

5. Modern Warfare 2 - See, we've hit this relatively sweet spot that every 2 years we see an Infinity War shooter, a new Uncharted, and a new Ratchet come out all at the same time. In a fight for my money, Modern Warfare 2 will win out, because its too far away from Christmas to wait for. I look forward to U2 more, but that'll have to wait till Christmas I'd imagine.

4. Demon's Souls - Just made a thread on it. This is ultra hardcore, elite gaming at its finest. An obscure, sure to be compelling game that every needs to try, but few will.

3. The Last Guadrian - Team ICO deliver something incredible everytime they make a game, this isn't going to be an exception. If the bird thing dies though I'll be pissed off.

2. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves - Uncharted 1, what can we say? You're very nearly perfect, creating a completely unqiue and thrilling feel for any gamer that is lucky enough to play you. We love yo-- Sequal?! Helicopters!? Outta my way!

1. Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker - Oh wait, an MGS game IS at the top of my list! Kojima sold me on this game the moment he said "sequal" or "1970" or "Naked Snake" or "PSP", any of these words would have been enough. Portable OPS is an incredible game that I've played time and time again. This time we're getting Kojima style direction, and much better graphics. This is my most anticipated game right now.

Honourable mentions:

MotorStorm: Arctic Edge - Always loved MotorStorm, a lot more than other people seemingly after 2's poor reception. This is going to be a great PS3-fest.

God of War 3 - Sits at the 11 spot. I know, you must think I'm crazy. But consider it crazy I'm even looking forward to this game at all.

Dead Rising 2 - A game that everyone should try out I think. It'll offer a completely new experience for PS3 owners.

Quantum - PS3's answer to Gears of War. Not completely sold, but completely interested.

Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising - Again nearly made the list. This is another ultra hardcore game that should be getting more attention than it is.

Metroid: Other M - Lost is position after I remember The Last Guy. Its still going to be awesome, I've never found a Metroid game I really loved but the universe fascinates me. This could be the combination of gameplay and setting that wins me over.

Can't say my list has changed that much since E3, except now I can add DS games.

I'll go ahead and exclude Ghostbusters since it's just a hop and skip away from release

10. Infinite Space (DS)
9. Metroid: Other M (Wii)
8. Batman Arkham Asylum (PS3/X360)
7. No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle (Wii)
6. Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time (PS3)
5. Bayonetta (PS3/X360)
4. Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days (DS)
3. God Of War III (PS3)
2. The Last Guardian (PS3)
1 (tie). Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (PS3)/Heavy Rain (PS3)

Honorable Mentions:

Metal Gear Solid Rising (PS3/X360)- I promise the excitement will be there, but since we really know basically nothing about the game it's somewhat hard to get into that groove right now. I'm sure by this time next year I'll be biting my nails for what the young guns have planned.

Beyond Good & Evil 2 (PS3/X360)- I would definitely put this up there, but lack of any info, even a real teaser trailer, means it belongs here I think.

Alan Wake (X360)- It exists, it really still exists.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 (PS3)- I thought it was a little unfair to include this since technically it's not a 'new' game

Muramasa (Wii)- Felt like I should at least mention this

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker (PSP)- Main reason this didn't make my list is that I don't own a PSP myself. I'll find a way, though, I'll find a way

Can't believe I forgot Mass Effect (X360) and Dragon Age Origins (PS3/X360). Those would most likely be up there on the list

Nice list, I'd add ModRacer to it as well, if it can be what Little Big Planet was, then we're in for a treat again.
 
1. Uncharted 2

2. Heavy Rain

3. MGS Rising

4. MGS Peace Walker

5. Modern Warfare 2

6. Final Fantasy XIII

7. Ratchet and Clank: Crack in Time

8. Marvel Ultimate Alliance

9. Final Fantasy VS XIII - Wasnt at E3 but I havent forgotten about it. Would be much higher had it actually made a presence

10. The Agent
 
10. Alan Wake (PC). This game wasn't on my radar enough to look up what it was about. However the trailer interested me. I am worried it's going more action orientated and less cerebral than I initially thought, but it still looks good.

9. FFXIII.

8. The Last Guardian.

7. White Knight Chronicles. I'm starting to feel RPG's again, and WKC is looking good.

6. FFXIV. I like MMO's, but quit playing them awhile back. If this comes out before DC Online it'll probably be the game to get me back in the genre.

5. MG: Rising. I want to be, should be more excited for this, but I'm not.

4. GOW 3. I've never played a GOW, just like I had never played a GTA before 4. This will be my introduction to the series, and it looks great.

3. Bioshock 2. Don't think it received any real screen time in E3, but Sony did flash it in one of their trailers :).

2. MGS: Peace Walker. MGS3 was a masterpiece, and this looks to follow in it's footsteps.

1. Uncharted 2. Easy. This game may just unthrone MGS4 as my favorite game.
 
10. Alan Wake (PC). This game wasn't on my radar enough to look up what it was about. However the trailer interested me. I am worried it's going more action orientated and less cerebral than I initially thought, but it still looks good.

It's about a horror writer who's books start coming to life and he has to deal with it
 
Typing on PS3 so ran outta room lol. I have to put the honorable mentions seperate.

Modnation racers. I'm not fond of the kart style as much, but creating a race track LBP style is going to be a blast.

Assasin's Creed 2. The first game had a lot of promise, but just fell flat. Not a horrible game, but not great either. I'm keeping my eye on this title hoping it'll improve on the original's flaws.

MAG. Online looks to be a blast, but It feels like it's missing something.

I'd say Modern Warfare 2, but I'm getting FPS'd out. MAG gets a nod for being different, Bioshock 2 gets ranked for being the sequal of an awesome game. I don't know enough about Agent to say anything one way or another. Several PSP titles looked good as well. I'm sure I'm missing something, but those are the main things that pop to mind.

Yeah, I know what it's about now, just meant at first. Last year I heard a lot about it when ppl talked about what big 360 games were coming this year. The name just threw me off tho. For some reason I was imagining some Gear of War, action figure come to life, guy named Alan leaving a destruction in his 'Wake'. I'm sure that sounds crazy, but it's just what came to mind lol.

After seeing the trailer I was wow'd. Then I had time to reflect. I was hoping it'd be more on the cerebral, psychological horror side. Like Silent Hill, but even more so. It's just that after rewatching the trailer, it did seem like there was a lot of gunplay. So I went from not caring, to being excited, back to being interested and maybe getting it for PC, but waiting for reviews.

Annoyingly, I've forgotten about The Last Guardian. I'll have to edit it soon.
 
Havok, looking forward to Rising more than Peace Walker? Interesting.
 
There were really a bunch of great games shown this year.

My top 10 in no particular order.

1. Uncharted 2
2. Assassin's Creed 2
3. Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine
4. Heavy Rain
5. Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2
6. White Knight Chronicles
7. Metal Gear Solid: Rising
8. Alien Vs Predator
9. Final Fantasy XIII
10. Metroid: Other M
 
Havok, looking forward to Rising more than Peace Walker? Interesting.
Both are pretty close and I give the slight edge to Rising simply bc I can play it on my PS3 over my PSP. I didnt like the controls for PO but if the enable Dualshock 3 support for PW, then I will have to give the edge to it
 
I think PW will play differently anyway. Its clear the game's gotten a graphical overhaul since MGS' last PSP outing. I think they'll focus on how to retain that more this time.
 
here's my top ten, in no particular order, i onlt have a ps3 and i guess a psp, so thas the only games i'll have here.

1.metal gear solid: peace walker
2.metal gear solid: rising
3.heavy rain
4.uncharted 2
5.the last guardian
6.final fantasy 13
7.final fantasy versus 13, i know it wasnt at e3 but i have very high hopes for this game
8.modern warfare 2
