Not much more to add here to what just about everyone has said. Given that this game is coming from the main players behind Uncharted 2 it could have been a Sesame Street game and I would still be super hyped about it. This game looks to be everything I would ever want from a post-apocalyptic zombie game.

Best Xbox 360 Game: Assassins Creed 3
I didn't think that Ubi could add more shit to Assassins Creed after their whole Ezio saga but they really look to be one upping themselves. I had a lot of reservations after they unveiled the American Revolution as the next backdrop but the demos they showed off pretty much laid to rest all my fears. I can't wait to be moving through the trees and dropping down to kill dirty Red Coats.

Best PC Game: Sim City
Aside from the always-one DRM this game is looking like its going to be taking over my life when it is released. The multiplayer looks pretty interesting which is hard for me to imagine in a Sim City game but I am definitely open to it.

Best Tech: Star Wars 1313
It's a shame that the looming next generation of consoles has to be what spurs great advancements in visuals but I'll take it. Not sure if the game will turn out to be any good but the tech behind it is a pretty good glimpse into what we should expect over the coming years.

Both have a similar sandboxy, somewhat free flowing approach to gameplay. However, when it comes to visuals & mood, each scratches a very different itch, but none the less than the other. Near future cyberpunkish vs. muted steampunk? Hello there, darlings. Come to me!

Project P-100 - just a wonderfully unique concept that came right out of left field, and, in spite of Nintendo's seeming efforts to keep it hidden, impressed me with its visual style, charming characters, and combination of puzzle solving and fun combat. Also, Kamiya.

Watchdogs just isnt far enough along to give it all the awards, although I am tempted to give it best of everything. Star Wars looked even less far along, but it looked so pretty. The Final Fantasy Tech was awesome too, but that is not in a game yet so I discounted it.

I could have easily given best Wii U game to Splinter Cell 6 (now that it has been announced) but since it was not shown, I went with AC3, which looks awesome!

COD Blackops 2 also looked really good, but since it will win the most important award (Money) Ill leave it to the others.

It's surprising to me that Halo is still getting so much acclaim at E3. Outside some new environments it looks like almost the exact same kind of game as always, to me. I guess people see more in it than I do.

Game of the Show: Halo 4. Went into E3 expecting letdowns, but what I saw looks fantastic. Still have some concerns about multiplayer with all of the customization elements, but the campaign and Spartan Ops looks to be enough to make me happy.

Best PlayStation 3 Game:Beyond. Very light on the gameplay but the concept sounds fairly interesting and the cast will probably be stellar (even though we only heard Ellen Page say, what, 4 lines?). I missed the title for The Last of Us, I just looked up and thought it was a new Uncharted game in a flooded city. Getting really tired of "Gritty and Mature third-person cover-based shooters." Also, no zombies in your zombie game? What's up with that?

Best Xbox 360 Game: Halo 4 (See above)

Best Wii U Game: Pikmin 3, even though I like the way ZombiU uses the gamepad's features in ways I'm hoping other developers do (and not just slap a map down there). Colonial Marines is also high on the list, of course.

Best PC Game: Watch_Dogs. Of course. Just wish it hadn't devolved into Gunplay, the potential is there for the hero to be smarter/better than that. He can hack into anything, but of course he solves all of his problems by shooting things like a common space marine? Blarg. Still looks amazing though.

Best Portable Game:Castlevania. Usually ends up being a system-seller for me, but I'm not sold on the 2.5D visuals and LoS-inspired combat. Mercurysteam, despite professing to be huge fans of the classic Castlevania games, doesn't seem to be going in that direction. Hmmmmmm...

Best Tech: Watch_Dogs. 1313 was pretty, but it's another goddamned Gritty and Mature Third Person cover-based Shooter, which does not interest me. The visuals are there, but the gameplay tech looks yawn-worthy and I can't see the game having very long legs with so much going towards the visuals. Watch_Dogs on the other hand looked amazing AND had gameplay mechanics that are fairly unique.

That genre has been driven into the ground yet again by the same company.

Namco, NRS, and Tecmo are putting much more effort into visuals, production, and quality than said company and that's what they've been doing even before Capcom's resurgence. It's such a shame that they're not even getting nominated outside their niche, like every other genre.

Vote for it then!

Updated results coming after the next page.

Will update post after work, lol.

Game of the Show: SimCity - The detail of the simulation is incredible to me, as is the impact it will have on how the game is played. It is wonderful that there are still games coming out where you don't get the feeling that the developer has incredible contempt for their audience. I don't mind the occasional dumb game (see AC3 mentions below), but often it seems like virtually all there is.
Best PlayStation 3 Game: Assassin's Creed III - While I have some concerns, mainly related to the fact that PR material seems to imply pandering to American audiences, something which I strongly detest, the game looks pretty fun. I enjoyed the demo they showed at the Ubisoft conference and look forward to playing the game.
Best Xbox 360 Game: Assassin's Creed III - See above
Best Wii U Game: Rayman Legends - Amazing looking game, looks really fun to play too. I especially like the fact that they seem to have made it so that P2 has some interesting stuff to do.
Best PC Game: SimCity - See above
Best Portable Game: -
Best Tech: ArmA 3 - Not just stunning visuals but also on an incredible scale unmatched by any other title at E3, the game will probably require a beast of a rig to run well, but damn if it isn't worth it.

Overall most looking forward to Hearts of Iron III: Their Finest Hour, but outside of a press release and a few screenshots, there wasn't enough there for me to declare it Game of the Show or best PC game. Had Paradox shown off more of it, that would have been a certainty.
