You get five. :D
The multiplatform edition
Gears of War - 360
Terrific, seeing it played by Cliffy B I went from "Maybe it's like Brute Force again, meuh" to a 100% believer. Freaking awesome, I'm so looking forward to getting this.
Zelda Twilight Princess - Nintendo Wii
Very excited for this, it just might be the game of the decade. We're going to cut our teeth with the Wii controller on this.
Metal Gear Solid 4 - Playstation 3
It's just such a unique game and unlike everything else.
Final Fantasy 13 - Playstation 3
Very short, not sure what's CG and what's real as it's a mix, but stunning.
Virtua Fighter 5 - Playstation 3
By the look of it, Virtua Fighter is finally going to give Tekken a thrashing. Best fighter around. Hopefully it's online.

Are we talking about annonced titles or merely titles shown at teh pre-conferences?
Eight Days - PS3
The environment looked incredibly fun; sliding over cars jumping through windows, and the classic 2 person FPS
(brings back memories of time crisis).....
Heavenly Sword - PS3
Just go watch the HD trailer.....that is all.
Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns of the Patriots - PS3
I couldn't honestly call myself a playstation fan and NOT have this one on the list
Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops - PSP
read my reason for MGS4 and you will understand
Super Mario Galaxies - Wii
The next chapter in a long line of well known tales and adventures. This game looks like it will be the bar for all other Wii games.
My list is actually at least a dozen games long, so I just picked the ones that stuck out the most, that I am anticipating the most....... :mario:

Well, my list is comprised of Wii titles only, but that's only because we're constricted to five. These are my top five of the show, in no particular order except the first:
Dragon Quest - Wii
This is easily my number one game of the show. The announcement of an all new Dragon Quest game, exclusively for Nintendo, is HUGE news for two main reasons:
First, it indicates a stronger partnership with Nintendo and Square, a major plus for any Wii fan.
Second, it pretty much guarantees phenomenal sales of Wii in Japan. This will really give Nintendo quite a boost at launch.
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - Gamecube/Wii
Does this one even need an explanation?
Wario Ware: Smooth Moves - Wii
The Wario Ware series has always provided an element of fun that you just can't get anywhere else. They're crazy, quirky, and downright nonsensical, and I love them.
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption - Wii
This is supposed to be the final chapter in the Metroid Prime series, and I can't wait to see how they wrap it up.
Super Mario Galaxy - Wii
It's Mario. How can you be a fan of video games and not love Mario?
I'm glad Nintendo is changing it up a bit with this title. The whole space theme is a pretty new direction for Mario and I think it can work really well if they manage to do everything right.

Mario Galxies- Mario 64 was my favorite game and although Sunshine dissapointed this one is shaping out to be the game I have been waiting ten years to play.
Halo 3- Im just happy to see that it is for sure and it is coming in 07.
Zelda TP- Looks awsome and with the new wii features should be even better.
SSB Brawl- Online smash bros, words we have all been waiting for since playing the 64 original.
Fable 2- Some say the original was overrated or didnt live up to the hype. I say it was quite possibly the Xbox'es best game. And this one should be even better.
Overall the best E3 in recent memory.

Arthur and the minimoys - cos i love my minimoys
nascar 2007 - because nascar 2006 changed my life
godfather mobile - beacuse of the talented creatures at EA and their tasteful way of making games out of legendary movies. and on a cell phone you WILL get that true epic experience...
naughty dog - because i heard it's like a psp version of nintendogs but you must spank and spank and spank that little puppy bitch
top model: hot mamis - because tyra said so

1) The Legend of Zelda: The Twighlight Princess (Wii/GameCube)
The name should be enough explaination. I've always loved the series, including Wind Waker, and haven't anticipated a Zelda game this much since Ocarina of Time.
2) Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Wii)
I've played games since before the US release of the NES, but wasn't a hardcore gamer until I played Super Mario Bros. Since then, I've spent the past two decades with Nintendo's wonderful franchises, and it's nostalgic having them come together in one entertaining game. I loved Super Smash Bros. Melee for that reason, especially with all the trophies you could collect, and am tickled pink by the upcoming Brawl.
X) Red Steel (Wii)
When I first saw screenshots prior to E3, I wasn't so thrilled about it. After I saw the game being played this week, however, I really want it. It just looks fun to play. I can't wait to swordfight with the Wiimote.
X) Halo 3 (Xbox 360)
While so many members of our community hastily dismiss it, that it's not nearly as great as fill-in-the-blank game, I'm one of those that liked the first two Halo games and can hardly wait to jump into the third.
X) Fable 2 (Xbox 360)
I really liked Fable, and while it didn't live up to previous promises, the game was still terrific. It was a shame that it was so short, though. I've since wanted a more epic sequel, and my prayers are at least half answered in that we are getting a sequel. Now to see if it turns out to be of more epic proportion.
I wanted to list GTA4, but when last I checked we haven't even seen a single video or screenshot. At least Halo 3 and Fable 2 had pre-rendered videos. Maybe I'll get to list it a year from now for E3 2007.

4:) Dungeon Seige - PSP (The graphics are amazing, the play is intact, online mode working, the bomb!)
