Yea, I know, I skipped Day 2 and 3, but those were just pretty much talking about more games and them talking about more games, and playing their demos, etc. Their wasn’t any real news per say besides the new PSP, the PS3 “price cut”, and WiiFit, if you consider that news. Overall, E3 07 just really showed us the importance of games. And now, to conclude this monumental conference and 3 1/2 day coverage, I will name off some of the Top 5 Stuff at E3 2007.

Top 5 PS3 Titles at E3 07-

1. Ratchet and Clank Future:Tools of Destruction-This cool little title showed its stuff this year at E3, with some gorgeous graphics, cool weapons, and more.
2. Killzone 2-Well, it’s been about a year or two since we’ve been waiting for more content and to see if it lived up to it’s shiny trailer, and yes, yes it did.
3. Metal Gear Solid 4:Guns of the Patriots-Well, although this game may not be a PS3 exclusive for long, we’ll give it it’s moment of glory due to it’s great trailer with because of the dude spilling the lunch wagon. You know, hurling, you get the point.
4. Uncharted:Drake’s Fortune-This little underdog of a game from Naughty Dog which created Jak and Daxter are spilling (no vomit reference intended) out this title which is like Lara Croft as a dude.
5. Infamous-This neat little title shown at Sony’s Media event has some great potential for next year in its superhero genre.

Top 5 Wii Titles at E3 07-

1. Super Mario Galaxy-I honestly just can’t wait to get my hands on this game when it comes out in November. With a confirmed release date, promising levels, and more, I couldn’t ask for more from Nintendo.
2.  Super Smash Bros. Brawl-This game was one of the reasons I bought the Wii. I could not stand not being able to play this game. And with new characters (Giga Bowser!), stages, and thee promise of having a Nintendog block the screen, I’m in!
3. WiiFit-Honestly, it was close between this and Galaxy, but with 40 minigames, a great promise and foundation for future Wii games (skateboarding!), it comes in a valuable and well-deserved second.
4. Metroid Prime 3:Corruption-I have actually never played a Metroid game before, but with it’s revolutionary FPS controls, shiny graphics, and compelling “Dark Samus” storyline, I would like to try it as the Wii game that comes out the nearest in the future-August 27th!
5. Rayman Raving Rabbids 2-I would have given this spot to Mariokart, however I am looking forward to this game immensely on November 12th, and I am definitely looking forward to the Guitar Hero knockoff!

Best Xbox 360 Game at E3 07-Ok, right now, I’m really tired, so I’m just going to name off some duhs, and then go to sleep, these don’t really need explanation.

1. Halo 3
2. Splinter Cell:Conviction
3. Mass Effect
4. Fable 2
5. BioShock

There were also several other honorable mentions, some I did not list because they came out on two of the previously named consoles, so here are the Top 3 Honorable Mentions:

1. Star Wars:The Force Unleashed
2. Burnout Paradise
3. Call of Duty 4:Modern Warfare

Best Game At E3 07- Ratchet and Clank Future:Tools of Destruction
