Whether delayed by last-minute technical deficiencies or a newly discovered apathy towards overblown trade shows, several announced, expected or downright anticipated games managed to escape our studious glares and hastened notepad summaries at this year's E3. Dash through our punchy list of MIA attendees and let us know which ones had you tapping your wrist watch and asking, "Do you have any idea what time it is? We've been worried sick."

I just really want to play that new Indiana Jones game :(
It's my most anticipated game for some reason...followed by Alan Wake.

Sorry... that was harsh. It's not THAT bad. It's just broken for me sometimes.

...but...Animal...Crossing...
Not that I give a shit about Nintendo, but trying to be in your shoes I feel sorry for you guys.
Then again,it appears as if Nintendo tried to go hardcore with Gamecube and well...they failed.Maybe Nintendo left you because a bunch of hardocore nostalgic nerds that actually bought Cubes to play new Mario and Zelda wasn't enough to keep an entire company running? If hardcores weren't profitable then Nintendo slowly abandoned them in favour for a much better audience.It's all about money and you can't honestly tell me that if you were in Nintendo's position, you wouldn't do the same thing.

I was watching WET too. Last I heard it was scheduled for a December '08 release date but I dunno.
For those that don't know, she's basically a hitgirl (see what I did there?) who totes a pair of guns and a katana of sorts.
It has wall running and scaling similar to the Prince of Persia series too. I'm a sucker for blades and platforming. ;)

basically all you need to know about any tekken is a father tries to kill his son, son tries kill father, many other plots of revenge/retribution, some silly plots, maybe an adventure beat'em up game, and a whole lot of awesome fighting. i've owned every console version and played them to death.

I put down 50 bucks that Alan Wake is going multiplat. Why else is it taking this long?...or is it for programming to fit it all on 1 DVD? Sigh...hope its not the game nerf-ing.

I'm sad they didn't show Beyond Good and Evil 2. The first game was phenomenal! One of my favorites of all time, but sadly it didn't sell well. They should of gotten the word out more about this game. It deserves a sequel.
