Halo 4 was the most interesting for me today. i think if you put E3 in brackets in the title you might get more responses.

For me, Mass Effect 3 was the biggest bomb. I noticed that grenades are back (hopefully in the form of usable items as in ME1), that Mordin Solus has a new voice actor (who kinda sucks), that the game is gonna be friggin epic, but... most importantly... SHEPARD HAS AN UBER BADASS KATAR BLADE BUILT IN HIS OMNITOOL. Holy frigging crap! I loved killing enemies with elbow smashes in ME2, and I will definitely love slicing stuff up with that goddamn omnitool.

Uhhh.. NFS: The Run - all I can say is WTF
SW:TOR cinematics are still amazing. Had to re-watch them after that trailer.
Tomb Raider looks
really
good.
Overstrike looks pretty interesting.
EDIT: Went and watched Dead Island and Assassin's Creed Revelations. Revelations looks so good.

Until I see Halo 4 gameplay, I'm not hyping myself over it. Also, the Halo: CE remake has no real multiplayer, just Reach maps... I don't care about graphics enough to pay 40$ for them, and I don't like Reach multiplayer. It is too bad, I was hoping they would bring back a somewhat revamped classic Halo: CE experience.
Definitely the thing that drew my attention was Mass Effect 3. Nothing else really wow'd me.
I guess I missed that Overstrike trailer. Interesting concept, I'll wait for gameplay footage tho. Steve Blum doing some voice acting there, interesting. He does great work IMO, even if he does so a lot of samey characters.

Oh, also, I have seen Mordin Solus, Legion, Garrus and Liara as squadmates in the presentations. I have also read that Wrex is gonna join Shepard for at least one mission (
if he lives
)
No Tali :< But she has to be there! D:
What i find really interesting is how many branches they have to work with in ME3. The game is gonna be about recruiting an army to defeat the Reapers. What if I killed the Rachni queen? What if I killed the Council? What if i killed Wrex and didn't want to cure the genophage? What if I didn't help Liara become the Shadow Broker? What if Shepard was the only squad member that survived the suicide mission? Holy crap, maybe i shouldn't have obliterated the entire Batarian solar system. And so on. Can the decisions made in 1 and 2 ultimately lead to very difficult ME3?

A) Liara is the Shadow Broker. I think that is canon whether you help her with her mission or not.
B) Impossible. Shepard dies unless he had at least 2 squadmates left.
Holy crap, maybe i shouldn't have obliterated the entire Batarian solar system.
There is no alternative.
As for those other decisions, I'm sure those will be major factors in what unfolds. None will be better or worse though, from what Bioware has said. Just different.

Duh :P I know ME3 is gonna assume all the events of the DLC's happened, so Liara will inevitably be the Shadow Broker and the Batarian system will be cut off.
But
... you sure about the Shepard death? I believe I have seen a video on youtube where there was only Shepard in the end, and I am not even sure if Joker survived. (Could never possibly see it in game, for I have never had more than a single squadmate dead :B )

lmao @ Microsoft milking the Halo cow even past it's creators essentially saying "We're friggin' done. There's Halo: Reach. Good game. Last game."
And Microsoft is like "lololol well guess what Bungie, you sold us the rights to the Halo franchise, so we'll just get someone else to make it. Problem? *loopy arms*"
And I'm avoiding all information on Mass Effect 3 like the plague. I take RPing (that it to say, playing in character) very seriously in Mass Effect, and since Shepard is not a psychic, I don't want to know anything about the plot, even if it's only tangentially related, before I start playing.

Going out with Reach as your final game... that is how you would otherwise taint the name of a good franchise. I can't see Halo 4 being worse than Reach.

Also out of curiousity what was that 1 companion you lost Thror, I ended up replaying ME2 so I could have Garrus alive for when ME3 comes along
Mordin. I sent him to escort crew members back to the Normandy, and later, they called me that the crew members are safe and on board, but "Mordin didn't make it". No idea why that happened really, it was like my fourth playthrough, and I definitely had everyone loyal, all the upgrades, and used Mordin for the escort in all my previous playthroughs succesfully. I replayed it then, of course... to have him alive. I intend to play through ME2 for the fifth time as a Paragon Infiltrator, this time with all the possible DLC (have to buy arrival), I will definitely romance Tali ( :P ) and that will be my primary save for ME3.

I was totally watching the Ubisoft stream with that annoying Caffeine guy all the time only because of AC:Revelations. Constantinople looked pretty interesting.

Last time i checked the bioware forums, Tali is confirmed as a permanent squad member, as is Garrus, Liara, a new character named Vega, and Ashley or Kaiden, depending on what you did on Virmire. I have heard that all of the other major characters who survived will have cameos and/or be temporary squadmates- that's where I think Wrex and Mordin are coming in. I'm sure they have more permanent squad mates to announce, though, so don't give up on your other favorites just yet.
I haven't checked them in a while, though, so my info might be out-dated. It's a scary place, that forum board. We get shut down in 4 pages when discussing gender equality as it relates to their game worlds, for being "off-topic, but there can be 1500 page discussions of which lizard you want to sleep with, how to mod the clothes off the characters and pages and pages of softcore fan art. I advise that the unprepared tread lightly.
PS- Loved the SWTOR trailer. Very nice.
