Been listening to podcasts this week, and I've now heard two members of the media who were at last week's "Judges Week" events suggest there were few surprises to be seen. Jeff Gerstmann said this one the newest Bombcast, and Simon Cox said it on the "John and Garnett" podcast.
If you're not aware of what Judges Week is, it's when a member of each media outlet is invited weeks before E3 to play and vote on the "Game of E3" awards. For a game to be voted on it must be playable, and because of this if a game isn't shown at this event, chances are very high it's not shipping this year.
They did say there was a surprise or two, but neither seemed to be that impressed in general. Better tame those hype trains, at least in regards to games you're hoping are announced at E3 and released this fall.
