Introduction
All current-generation platforms have been released and now the platform segregation has been dropped.
E3 Awards are all about hype and fun and what kind of game and where it's available should not matter for the purpose of this thread. This is a barometer of hands-off anticipation many months before these games release, and that is fine!

Rules
You may vote for any game that has an E3 presence for any reason.

We will be using the same scoring system as GAF's GOTY vote.
1. Game A ; 4 points; 2. Game B ; 3 points; 3. Game C ; 3 points; 4. Game D ; 2 points; 5. Game E ; 2 points;
6. Game F ; 2 points; 7. Game G ; 1 point; 8. Game H ; 1 point; 9. Game I ; 1 point; 10. Game J ; 1 point

Example ballot:

1. Half-Life 3: The Last Agent
2. Call of Duty: Let's shoot people in the face all advanced and shit
3. EA Sports Game of Favorite Sport this year's edition!

I will be tallying the votes on the weekend and if you want to change your votes, please post again and I'll discard the first post.
(I'll count up throughout the voting process and it's easier for me this way.)

Deadline: 15th June 23:59 PST

I reserve the right to create categories in the results thread to make the OP more interesting, but I will not violate the platform category rule as it would be against the spirit of this year's focus.

GAF's Best of E3 2013 results thread:


Have fun!

Edit: Questions and confusions

So how do you prefer to have it formated when it comes to explaining why that game is on your list?

Just free form, this is not parsed like GAF's GOTY stuff because the participation is much lower and voting period is much shorter.

Are Juniors allowed to vote?

Yes. Don't believe the posters that say you are second class citizens! Reach for the stars.

1. Smash Bros 3DS
2. Smash Bros WiiU
3. No Man's Sky PC
4. No Man's Sky PS4

To keep within the spirit of this year's best of award, I'll only count the highest placed one if two platforms are listed.

Halo
Mario

Please be more specific. What Halo? Halo 5? What Mario? Mario Maker? Mario Party?

Top 3 explanation:

Rainbow Six is number one on my list because I have spent the past few years yearning for a game that brought back that tactical feel that Rainbow Six 3 and Vegas 1 and 2 brought me. Aside from Halo 2, RS3 was my most played game on Xbox. Then when Rainbow Six Vegas 1 and 2 came out, I fell in love with the multiplayer and coop, outrageously deep customization/progression system, and Terrorist Hunt. Some of my best gaming memories is Terrorist Hunt with a group of my friends, and I'm really hoping Siege is a return to form. Hearing everyone who has played it at E3 say that the demo is actually representative and the real deal made E3 for me. I can't wait to see more about this game andI hope that Siege starts a trend towards the tactical shooter comeback I've longed for.

As for Destiny... my hype, along with a lot of other peoples, had dwindled over the months leading to E3. But I have to say Bungie really brought it this week. Everything they've shown has been really great, and having gotten into the alpha a day or so ago, I have fallen in love. I have probably played more Destiny in the past 2 days than I've slept, which is in spite of the fact that there isn't really too much content in the alpha. The gameplay at its core feels so damn good that it is now my most anticipated game of 2014.

Bloodborne... what can I say. We haven't seen that much of it but just the legacy that it carries is enough to get any Souls fan hyped. It took me a bit to have the series click, but it recently did and I'm in love. I just beat Demon Souls for the first time on Monday actually, and seeing the trailer for Bloodborne shortly after was awesome. I'm knee deep in Dark Souls now and loving the hell out of it, and I can't help but be extremely excited for Bloodborne. I hope we see it early 2015.

5. Splatoon
6. The Witcher 3
7. Infamous: First Light
8. Grim Fandango
9. Rainbow Six Siege
10. Ori and the Blind Forest

I couldn't believe when I saw Zelda. The possibilities with that kind of short clip is just endless which is probably why I think it was the best game at E3. It hit the spot where I'm just super excited with what was shown and my mind fills in lots of gaps with the possibilities. That to me this is the best looking game I've ever seen is just a cherry on top.

The rest of the stuff fits into what I usually like. It didn't rank but the Giant Bomb video for Destiny reversed my feelings on Destiny quite a bit. I wouldn't say I'm hype and it's it second E3 so that always means the game gets a lower score (Just like The Division isn't even on my list this year because of this) - but I'm actually looking forward to it now which is quite something for what I perceived to be a generic first person shooter.
