This list depresses me even more, as the only games I care about in it are SF x Tekken, Batman: Arkham City, Fable, Forza 4, Shinobi, and Twisted Metal.

Thanks very much for compiling that list though; I wasn't really expecting that.

Usually I have at least 50 games each E3 that I'm interested in. It's so weird how last year there were easily that many games I cared about, now there's less than half that amount. Even Capcom, my favorite game company, only has like 6 or 7 games that they're doing right now, as opposed to before where they used to talk about 10+ games every year at E3.....

Oh wait, I forgot to add Dragon's Crown to the list. That game's gonna own.

Outside of E3, the only games I really care about right now are Paper Mario 3DS, Mario Kart 3DS, and Tales of Graces F, and that's basically it for now.
