One of our favourite games of E3, Wii-exclusive Lost in Shadow, apparently has a residential section. Don't worry it's not nearly as boring as it sounds, especially if you're playing as a de-bodied shadow.

We've been hearing about all kinds of big, exciting games in the last few weeks, all seemingly on the horizon. But they're not all coming out that soon. Let's face reality and sort the 2010 games from the 2011s.

The game critics have spoken, and the 2010 E3 Game Critics Awards winners have been chosen. Check out a Best of Show that isn't a game, big wins for EA and Rage and a little vindication for our E3 awards.

Two men walked into a giant circus of video games in June and walked out with a 90-minute movie that shows them, sometimes, doing push-ups in the middle of E3.

Two weeks ago, something unusual happened in Los Angeles. Something amazing. And today I will agree with video game producer Tak Fujii that the man deserves an award for it.

What were our favourite games of E3 this year? Let's take a look!

The Game Critics have spoken, these are the best of E3 nominees for this year...

Video games need a top 10 list. Movies have them, music has them, but the video game industry still hasn't found a solid way to track the country's most popular video games, according to Michael Gallagher, president of the Entertainment Software Association.

Prior to my appointment to see 2K's Spec Ops revival, I had to go look up what sort of game it was. Yes, Spec Ops really is that memorable. Once the demo began, however, my vague notions that this would be yet another generic military shooter were swiftly dispelled.

How did I get to E3? How did I get a VIP pass? I don't even know. The idea was that I would walk up to E3 and, telling nobody anything, manage to just get in. That's what happened.

Is DJ Hero 2 best played as a battle?

UGO's Tracey John got a plush baby in her arms at E3. The baby contained a Wii Remote, the better to let her control Babysitting Mama.

I didn't play the original 1990s arcade game Splatterhouse. I told Crecente last week that the new one I played at E3 felt like a more violent God of War. Be careful, he warned me.

Watch the E3 live gamplay footage of Halo: Reach and, 67 seconds in, you might hear.... is that techno music? That's part of the game's soundtrack? Why, yes it is!

Okami is a PlayStation 2 classic. The game is getting a spin-off called Okamiden for the Nintendo DS. Does it look like it's a worthy successor to the original?

World Cup, fancy hands-free motion-sensing controllers,the Big Three battling for console dominance - as it was at E3 2010, so it was at the annual gaming expo's predecessor, the Consumer Electronics Show 20 years ago.

The big new twist in DRIVER San Francisco is that the entire game takes place inside the comatose hero's head. What's that mean? Car swapping!

If the creators of the next Pirates of the Carribbean game had shown me the game's ship combat, I might not have been looking at their game and thinking "Fable clone."

Shown exclusively during the Sony E3 2010 press conference, SCEA's Sorcery made enough of an impression on us to score a Best of E3 nomination for Best New Game. How'd that happen?
