1. Xenoblade Chronicles X - The extended look at this game just screamed I am huge and deep and long, throw your life away for 90 hours and devour me! Its looking like it might be an RPG for the ages.
2. The Legend of Zelda Wii U Beautiful, and it got the internet talking more than anything.
3. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain This game keeps looking better and better to me. The story has me legitimately intrigued, I like that the silliness has been sidelined a bit. I feel like it suits the tone a lot better.
4. Uncharted 4: A Thiefs End We basically got nothing but heres the level of graphics you can expect. It was enough, Im in.
5. Splatoon I am in no way this games target audience, but the extended gameplay showed a ton of ideas and tactics that seemed to put it ahead of the rest of the shooter genre. I was surprised and impressed.
6. Ori and the Blind Forest Microsofts conference didnt resonate with me; if it wasnt a shooter it was annoying sarcastic cartoon characters mouthing off. But this game had a ton of charm, and was the clear highlight for me.
7. The Order: 1886 I shake my head when people complain about scripted events, like they havent loved a billion games that rely on them heavily. But no, show a QTE button on screen and the whole internet pretends they think its Night Trap or something. The setting, characters and visuals for The Order look amazing, looking forward to it.
8. The Evil Within Like the only AAA game I can really see myself getting this fall, looks like old school Resident Evil fun.
9. Shovel Knight - There are a billion retro themed games out there, but this one has an obvious level of care and attention to it, plucking those old NES heart strings.
10. Assassins Creed: Unity It was a lot of killing, but that was a great demo reel. Really shows what they can do with next gen.
Almost made the list: Destiny - but I know I just dont have time for it. That gorgeous white PS4 has me seriously considering selling my launch unit and getting the bundle though.
Should have made the list: Deus Ex Universe, Metroid Wii U, Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem - Where were they :/
