Game Informer chooses the top 50 games of E3 2010

Game Informer has ranked the top 50 games of E3 in their latest issue. Find of which title came out on top and which other games made the list.

[GamingForever]

Glad to see Zelda up there in the top 3..

[-Mezzo-]

Can't argue Zelda deserves to be there. Got Infamous 2 right though i would swap Mortal Kombat with Killzone 3, it's criminal to rate that game that down on the list.

[demonddel]

how you know was you there im sure they was

[Krimmson]

GameInformer always (and I mean ALWAYS) go crazy for Mortal Kombat. Seeing it so high up isn't surprising not only because the game seems to be making a huge comeback, but also because GI just love Mortal Kombat.

They even gave Deception a 9.5! That game was barely even passable in my opinion and GI gave it a 9.5!

[Forbidden_Darkness]

Yeah, zelda is awesome, they just didnt have a good showing at E3 is all.

Homefront? Honestly? Wow...

Bulletstorm #6, what the f&$% are they smoking?

[BuIIetproofish_]

Really? You're saying the E3 demo(all we've seen) wasn't that great but the game is? Sure is blind fanboy in here. I'm not saying the game will be bad, its just people like this that make me unable to stand Nintendo anymore.

[Imperator]

Bulletstorm looked like a lot of fun. Definitely one of the highlights of E3.

[Forbidden_Darkness]

@Bulletproofish: All zelda games have turned out and thats what i expect from Skyward Sword and nothing less. So far Nintendo hasn't let us down.

Are you calling me a Nintendo fanboy? Because if you look at past comments, im a PS3 fanboy and i don't even own a Wii anymore. I've loved ever Zelda game i've played, but it is one of a very few franchises that i play on Nintendo systems

[NecrumSlavery]

The last truly great Zelda game was Wind Waker. Skyward Sword wasn't graphically nice by any means, no unique art style at all. The controls weren't working, and it just looked average. Zelda games always took risks and creative direction, but any more...I dunno.

Sequels in the top 10 is showing a lack of interst in new ips. Bulletstorm is only néw ip in top 10? Why is that? It's another shooter. Looks good but, come on people, let's open our minds. Epic Mickey should be up there, it's a fresh new amazing ip with greater thought than most of this list. Can't give free passes to apease the fanbase.

Oh and where is Sorcery?

[PSfan09]

1. kz3
2. gt5
3. everything else

[Kingdom Come]

Theirs isn't biased due to Fanboyism, and they've played the games. Having played Killzone 2, I can see a lot of people blinded by the graphics that can't see just how generic and unoriginal the gameplay is. GT5 should be great though...

[morganfell]

It sounds more like you are talking about Bulletstorm. It's a generic fps title with a few game mechanics tossed in. I like Epic but they are beginning to look like a one trick pony.

And anyone that says KZ2 is generic hasn't played the game and certainly never even investigated the multiplayer.

The idea that if you select a PS3 title as best of show then you are a fanboy is absurd.

[Tachyon_Nova]

@ Morgan - I still have no idea what was so original about Killzone 2, can someone explain? It had generic guns, enemies, level design, multiplayer as far as I was concerned, but please explain what set it apart, and don't mention the unrealistically stiff controls, Operation Flashpoint did stiff controls years ago, only there's were realistically so.

OT - What is with rating Kirbys epic yarn 8 places above Fable 3, 21 places above Crysis 2 and 24 places above GT 5. Fail list is Fail.

[skwidd]

"I can see a lot of people blinded by the graphics that can't see just how generic and unoriginal the gameplay is. GT5 should be great though..."

So killzone is generic and GT5 is not? I'm confused :s

[iFLOWLIKEWATER]

he test I use for asking if a game is average and generic goes like this. Take a game like Gears and imagine it being multiplat. There isn't a doubt in my mind that it would sell a shitload of copies. Now take a game like Killzone and put it in the same scenario. The game wouldn't sale... It wouldn't even sale the same number that Gears does being exclusive. There isn't anything about that game that speaks...unique or groundbreaking. If you want to throw 3D into the mix, I can point you to Crysis 2, which will also be able to do this.

Anyway, I have this GI issue sitting in front of me. It's a decent list I guess. I don't know why INfamous 2 is so high up there but I guess they saw something with the game to deserve it. I think they're using the same tech they used for their top 200 games issue that came out a while back.

[Folezicle]

Thats beside the point, it's the idea that PSfan09 (who by title is a fan-boy) picks 2 exclusives, and then puts everything else like as if no one cared. Regardless i look forward to Child of Eden, Xcom, Deus Ex, Little Big Planet 2, Gran Tursimo 5, Goldeneye on the Wii, Forza 4 (I like the whole looking around and opening the cars with kinect. Although it would be nicer if you could use the controller to steer, instead of the controller. A nice mix would be the ability to change your view in the car by kinect picking up your head movement and then being able to control the car with the controller) and IloMilo (yes barely anyone knows about what looks like a great game.)

As for Fable III still not sure yet

[Pandemic]

Gran Turismo 5 as #35 on the list?

Should have been in the top 10

[demonddel]

how you know did you play it

[Imperator]

Why exactly is KZ3 so low on that list? This list is really, really weird and messed up.

[DelbertGrady]

Perhaps because it's not that impressive to people who are not PS3 fanboys?

[Bobbykotickrulesz]

What's not impressive about it?

What makes Halo:Reach better than Killzone 3? Good luck finding an answer to that question.

[MORGiON]

Thats an easy answer for Soda. It has Halo in the name so its automatically the best.

[Tachyon_Nova]

@ Morgion - So what's so good about Killzone 3? You see how easy it is go turn fanboy arguments back on yourself? Halo is popular because it has a comprehensive multiplayer that is accesible by still with competitive options. It is , for most people, although admittedly not me, a fun game.

Halo is popular for the same reasons as CoD, it has fast passed gameplay which anyone can just jump in and play. It is beyond me why so many people bash Call of Duty. I have spent ~ 150 hours on MW2, and still find it enjoyable, yet after less than 10 hours of KZ2 and UC2 I found myself bored. I can hear your thoughts already, thinking to yourself that I just got owned by the perfect killing machines that are PS3 fanboys, far from it. I went back to UC2 for a short stint the other week, and there is no competitive community what so ever. First game back after 6 months of FPS and racers and I was able to win with ease, same case wit all subsequent rounds.

[Sarevok]

@Tachyon_Nova

nice troll skills.

I happen to disagree with you.
Killzone 2's mp was all about team work.
if your team was stupid you're going to lose 1-6 most of the time.

Now whats MW2 like? there is no team work no battle plans nothing! even in team death match your team mates will not help ya at all. they all run off to get the #1 spot at the end of the match.

And that's why I happen to like killzone more then cod.You have to use your head and think not run and gun like rambo or camp for kills.

[The Maxx]

@ Imperator

" This list is really, really weird and messed up "
- Tell me about it. Infamous 2 @ 4th....that game should be somewhere between Homefront and Journey.

@ Sarevok

" Killzone 2's mp was all about team work. "

- LOL no it's not. I go in and NOBODY is using Mic's so everyone is just running and gunner the whole time. There is no teamwork and I have won most of my games on teams that had ZERO teamwork. I wouldn't say Halo is all about the team work but Halo has some game modes where teamwork is very important. KZ2 not so much.

[Sarevok]

@The Maxx

Your past comments show you to be nothing more then a xbot.

so forgive me if I don't give a crap what you say =D

p.s you don't needs mics you can tell your team mates where to go via tactician.+ if team work does not matter in kz2 could you take me in a 2-1 match?

[SuperM]

Halo Reach multiplayer wasnt shown off at E3 so its multiplayer should have nothing to do with its E3 score. This list certainly has alot of wierd choices like these lists always does. If you were to set up this list after what review scores these games would get then it would look totally different.

Personally im really dissappointed with where they put motorstorm apocalypse on the list. For me that was one of the absolute best games of the show, but unfortunately it didnt get alot of attention. People will get their eyes up for it eventually though. But im gonna be annoyed when i hear people say, "oh when i first saw motorstorm apocalypse i didnt think much of it but now its one of the games im most excited about" That happens to so many games and it always make me facepalm, because the game always looked good. Some people just fail to realize.

[Christopher]

Screw KZ3, why the f*** is The Witcher 2 so low on that list?

[The Maxx]

@ Sarevok

"so forgive me if I don't give a crap what you say =D "

Regardless if you give a crap or not of what I say, it doesn't mean that what I say is False. XP

[lonix]

Gt5 deserves alot better than 35

[Christopher]

Nah, it's been at how many E3s so far and still isn't released? People are tired of waiting and are liking the new stuff they've seen more than waiting on the delivery of GT5. At least we now have a release date.

[solar]

Portal 2, another Valve game at the top of another list. cant wait and very disappointed P2 was delayed til next year. :(

[Spenok]

Zelda does deserve it. I simply cant wait for this game.

[Natsu X FairyTail]

Weird list :S.

[Blaze929]

"5. Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood"
Lolwut? Weird list indeed

[Tachyon_Nova]

What's wrong with that? Assassins 2 was an astonishingly good game, I see no reason why brotherhood won't be good. All previews I've seen have praised it. So why doesn't it deserve 5th place?

[MonopolyRSV]

Garbage list.

[OutgoingSquall]

1. The fight lights out ( I really want this game I'm kinda a casual at heart)
2. Little big planet 2
3. Dbz fighting game for the psp

[Lord_Doggington]

Killzone 2 allllllll the way down at Twenty...

[Johnny_Bravo]

Killzone 2 isn't on that list.....Killzone 3 is, but even then Fable 3 beat it out by one spot.

[Sarevok]

Fable is trash... I beat the first one like a week ago.

A 5 year old could beat that game!
People were telling me how awesome it is.
Nothing in that game could kill me it was so boring.

If fable 2 and 3 are like 1 I will skip em.

[Johnny_Bravo]

Fable was trash because you found it easy and boring? It must be doing something right to outsell Uncharted 2. I found Uncharted 2 to be very easy and boring, does that make it trash? No, that makes it not the game for me.

[MajestieBeast]

Zelda was my biggest dissapointment it just looked crap, like they took a atomic piss all over the screen i liked the art style of twillight princess allot more. Bulletstorm before LBP2 thats just crazy. Where is other M and the new golden sun for the ds. I do not approve of the list of fail. I mean you are freaking out of your mind if you choose dance central before GT5.

[blusoops]

:(

[Johnny_Bravo]

SOCOM 4 is at the bottom of my list until I see MP, and when that happens if it looks anything like SOCOM 2 its going straight to #1 on my list. If it looks like they turned SOCOM into a casual POS game, it will stay at the bottom and I'll let SOCOM rest in peace.

[Unicron]

Vanquish interested me the most at E3, which was mostly rehash 2009.

[Gen0ne]

Oh yeah. Where's Other M?

[mrmcygan]

LMAO at

22. Epic Mickey
23. Call of Duty: Black Ops

Epic Mickey was a epic fail

[Seekerofthewind]

Epic Mickey was a epic fail

...I feel like I shouldn't bother asking, but how was it an 'epic fail'?

[NecrumSlavery]

Epic Mickey was great, and Warren Spector has put a greater amount of time and passion into it, than many other devs have with their games.

[BuIIetproofish_]

Still beat Call of Duty: Give us Money.

[Nightfallen]

Where is Metal Gear: Rising?

[N4BmpS]

Maybe they thought they didn't show enough of it. You how every year Kojima does like a 15 minute gameplay video, yeah they didn't do that this year.

[cmacdonald]

It's just someones list, no need to get upset about it. We all could make one and everyone here would disagree about it.

[ckbarnett]

wheres kid icarus uprising

[RonXD]

Zelda at number 3?

We got a poor tech demo and almost no other information about the game. No story, no background info about the mysterious sword looking girl, no anything. We haven't learned why this Zelda is so different from any other Zelda game we have seen. Besides having 1:1 sword play, they have given us very little information on how this game will be fundamentally different from any other Zelda we've played before.

Not hating on the game or anything but I fail to understand why this is so high up there.

[BuIIetproofish_]

Its Zelda, it has to be good.(THAT WAS SARCASM!)

[RonXD]

Not saying Zelda will flop. Isn't anyone else the least bit dissapointed as to why we got little to no information?

I have been dying to know what this Zelda will bring to the table. Nintendo has left us to speculate for over a year. I was hoping with this E3, they would show us how this would refresh the series. We got nothing. I'm hoping they announced something in the future, 1:1 sword play won't be enough for me to want to play through yet another Zelda title.

[DigitalHorror81]

And some of the crappiest graphics I've seen this gen. I'm waiting until Nintendo makes the next Zelda. Look at the graphics of Wind Waker and Ocarina... is it me, or do the older games LOOK BETTER?

[asgharagha]

lbp2 is the game of the year.it must be at least in top 3 if not number 1.what is the poblem with this fantastic game that they havnt choose it ?isnt it much better than first game?graphics innovations and ..... are far better than so many games in this list ...u can even make atari 2600 boxing wowwwwwwwwwwwwwww

[PshycoNinja]

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep? I cant freakin wait for that game to come out, and WTH why is Killzone 3 at 20? It should be higher on the list. How can it be beat out by Fable 3(which we only saw one unimpresive trailer) Bulletstorm and some of the others higher on the list...

*looks at the last few cover stories on GameInformer*

Oh this explains soooo much of the bs in this list.

[N4BmpS]

This list is great and everything but I think they should replace MK's spot with MvC3's spot, Future Soldier should be higher and so should KZ3, maybe just 2 spots up.

But hey it's there list. sooooo *whispers* I don't agree with the order.

[SnukaTheMan]

I mean...scott pilgrim at 50.....right now..with its grass roots support for this game and a movie coming up.....this game cant be any hotter..And mickey mouse looked pretty good....we can only wonder what they could of done with a hd console.

[DA_SHREDDER]

I cant believe they put Motorstorm Apocalypse at the end of the ladder? Its easily in the top ten if not top five.

[wolfattack97]

thats a disgrace to put it that low

[joypads]

both of microsoft's generic shooters which shouldn't be on that list are in the top 10,i honestly was expecting it before i even clicked on the link,it feels as if the whole list was made for this purpose. FAIL

[GeoramA]

Seriously.

I'll never understand the media's boner for these two extremely overrated shooters.

[finbars75]

I have to be honest with you,that list is off by a mile.Sorry to all the nintendo fans but Zelda at 3 plzzzz after such a bad showing at E3 of how bad it doesnt work should be ranked down that list.Just because its zelda doesnt mean its great.Have fun with the broken controllers and now that the new James Bond Bloodstone has been announced It makes Goldeneye look even worst then it already is.I dont understand how you guys keep hanging on by a thread with these refurbished 80s early 90s games.Shows the desperation I guess that the nintnedo fans are afriad to move into the future of the next generation in gamming.I will give it up for Kirbys Epic Yarn it its different and refreshing to see so It really should be number 3 instead of Zelda which looks pretty much like all the others.You can bash me all you want for my post but all this is just an opinion and my feelings dont get hurt by people who who are afraid of the next gen era.

[iamnsuperman]

I agree with the new James bond game......its the first James bond game in a while that has got me interested in it. It might turn out to be a good game

[N4PS3Fanboys]

Two 360 exclusives and two PS3 exclusives in the Top 10. Everyone can be happy! Except PS3 fanboys, who I believe would only be happy if all ten of the Top 10 games were PS3 exclusives, and there was a separate list called the "Worst 10 Games of E3 2010", which contained only 360 exclusives.

[iamnsuperman]

I thought Killzone 3 and LBP2 should be higher and Zelda should be lower just because of the poor demonstration at E3. Also Socom should be at least on that that list somewhere. That doesn't mean the 360 games should be on a crap list.

[bjornbear]

so I'd say you don't look very happy.

[bjornbear]

"not in any specific order" list =D

great list though

[crazydrummerlad1]

that got excited from the sorcery demo????

[OutgoingSquall]

Yeah man that game looked amazing. It's my number 4.
