So what are everybody's impressions of this years show? What did or didn't you like? Anything come as a totally complete surprise?

I'm intruiged by Natal and the new Castlevania trailer looks beyond amazing. The New Super Mario Bros. Wii looks ok too. I'm not blown away by Mario Galaxy 2 though.

All in all I think it's been a nice return to form for the show. I'm hoping they don't revert to the old format again next year...

This has been a great E3 -- lots of interesting developments and technology on the horizon.

Mario Galaxy 2 was somewhat of a surprise, mostly because I didnt expect another one so soon. I'm actually more interested in the 4 player 2D Mario. (although it not having online is a bit of a bummer).

the other game that intrigues me is one that seemed overlooked by the bigger titles -- ModNation Racer. I love the idea of building your own racing track and the editor looked easy to use. I just wish it were Sackboys driving the karts.

it's a great time to be a gamer!

I loved a lot of stuff I saw this year. Scribblenauts looks fantastic, Mass Effect 2, Old Republic and so many more.

A pretty colorful post found on neogaf gives a good impression of what to expect from gameplay. Be warned though, the link contains some nsfw language used to colorfully describe the experience. Find the link Here
