E3 "best of" website wrap-up links...let's try again

OK, let's try this again. Post here only links of wrap-ups and best of's from E3. I always find these wrap-ups a good place to spot games I missed. And if you have comments about their choices, please take it t another thread. I'll update the original post as people add links:

1up.com's Best of list
Teamxbox best of the Xbox

forum should be about discussion, not just a web link. saying that I will agree with 1up's. Rather odd that Halo 2 gets best in show since you really had to leap buildings to actually see it at the show.

That's how HL2 was last year and it got lots of kudos as well. "best of show" includes the first two days which aren't for the general public, but rather the media etc.

Difference is. Last year to see HL2, anyone could wait in line and watch it. Media and VIP had a little advantage of cutting in line, but anyone could see it. Halo 2 on the other hand was by appointment only for media/VIP. Everyone else going there had no chance to see it at all.

They didn't have one... they overhyped their e3 showing and fans speculated too much. Matrix Online was probably what they were talking about.

On the last day, Sega reiterated that the "big" news as some would call was in fact the deal about the Matrix. So, no, not that big of an announcement just something that was overhyped and disappointing.

Cthulhu wasn't shown on the floor I don't think. Neither was F.E.A.R. for that matter...
