1 - Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker - This game looks like pure bliss and right around the corner in 2014.

2 - The Legend of Zelda for Wii U - Looks incredible and the promise of open world gameplay is exciting.

3 - No Man's Sky - Nothing like this has existed before.The potential is enormous. I hope the focus is more on exploration than combat.

4 - Super Smash Bros for Wii U - A balls-to-the-wall stacked game filled with feature galore and a sight to behold. Probably will be the most popular game this year.

5 - The Evil Within - Mikami + Horror = Best games I have ever played.

6 - Rise of the Tomb Raider - The way they are slowly evolving the story is, I think, an example all other story-based games should mimic.

7 - Civilization: Beyond Earth - I've always felt the world of the historical was holding this game back. The potential here is great.

8 - Uncharted 4 - A Thief's End - Graphics looked phenomenal.

9 - Splatoon - I normally don't like shooters, but this game looks like a lot of fun.

10 - Mario Party 10 - I love board games. Keep this series coming.

Nintendo and Microsoft did pretty well imo. I'm not even a Microsoft fan, but Halo: The Master Edition seems to be a Halo fan's wet dream (just like Metroid Prime Trilogy on Wii), so I included it in my list.

1.The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - My most anticipated game of 2015, the game has gorgeous graphics, gigantic world and a fantastic art direction. The new open world structure will do wonders for the series quest and mechanics (and falls in line with the books and lore structure), while adding new ones like detective mode and monster hunting, not to mention epic horse and boat riding. I was already satisfied with TW2 combat, so it can only improve. My only worries is how PS4 will handle the game game, performance wise. Given the dev's previous track record, i'm sure The Witcher 3 will be a 10 for a lot of people, and a commercial success.

2. Assassin's Creed: Unity - Last AC i enjoyed was 2, while 3 was a massive disappointement, and skipped all the other ones (Brotherhood, Revelaitons, Liberation and Black Flag). But Ubisoft really surprised me this year. The French Revolution setting is probably the one with the most potential since Italy, and Paris is a masterpiece of architecture, and will be a joy to travel around it. This especially thanks to the wonderful game engine that surprised everyone (dem interiors) that pushes new animations and new parkour mechanics. Also, co-op seems really cool, can't wait to try it with with friends. Still, there are a lot of things to prove: a protagonist that dethrones Ezio in interest; a new and improved stealth system; a story that isn't written by a 12 years old kid; useful and interesting side content. Come on Ubi, you can do it!

3. Dragon Age: Inquisition - Having never played a Bioware game before, i can see it with an outsider eye: the game has a wonderful world, an awesome soundtrack, and a combat system that seems both fun and challenging, mixing fast (for common enemies) and tactical (for bosses). I'm honestly not expecting much from characters and story, i just hope main and side quests will be interesting enough.

4. Destiny - Still one of my most awaited games, but recent videos toned down my hype a bit. But the "Experience" trailer pulled me back in. I suck at FPSs, but artstyle, universe, rpg mechanics and multiplayer pushed me over the edge. Hope to get into Beta to confirm my expectations.

5. BloodBorne I played DeS and DS, but never got to the end because they're way too frustrating. Also, graphics sucked. But with BloodBorne, being on next-gen, with supposed amazing graphics and an outsanding Victorian-era art direction that gives a strong Castlevania vibe, i'm really open to give another chance to FROM. I hope they develop some new mechanics, and especially let me play with my friends with a real co-op.

6. No Man's Space - Both reveal trailer and E3 ones blow me away, can't wait to play it on PS4. Still, apparently it's not a MMO and iirc you can't play with others, which suck big time. I also want to see how every mechanic is structured (weapons, exploration and such). I'll keep an eye on it.

Tried to leave off trailer only/CG only/Teasers and HD remixes.
 
Just going to list top three first:

A: Zelda Wii U
B: Bloodborne
C: No Man's Sky

Zelda U just looks alive and beautiful. The promise of an open world alongside the trailer's opening shot holds a lot of promise.

Bloodborne looks like it'll take the spirit of the Souls series to the next level, whilst forging its own identity.

No Man's Sky is just such an exciting prospect. The variety in the locations is sure to encourage exploration.

D: Splatoon
E: Metal Gear Solid V
F: Abzu
G: Ori and the Blind Forest
H: Cuphead
I: The Division
J: Uexplore: Affordable Space Adventures

8. Uncharted 4: A Thief's End
9. Splatoon
10. Affordable Space Adventure

The above reflects what games I felt had the best showings (for me), and don't accurately reflect how hyped I am for each. For instance, on hype alone, Uncharted 4 would be much higher but I felt that outside of the amazing graphics we learned very little about the game. I'm also a bit disappointed that it seems to now be a late 2015 (maybe even 2016) release now.

Overall I was really surprised at how great the indie show-out was. AbZu, Inside, No man's Sky, Shovel Knight, Affordable Space Adventure, and many others really stood out, and in some cases shined greater then most of the major developer offerings.

Also, this E3 sold me on many games that I had mild to no interest in beforehand. I'm strongly considering picking up Assassin's Creed: Unity, The Witcher 3, Evolve, Bayonetta 2, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Hyrule Warriors, Fantasy Life, and The Order now after their strong showings

i will only make my list out of games i played.

1. splatoon ; huh, i didn't think i would put it here until i actually did. maybe it was that it reminded me of team fortress 2, which i haven't played in months. i don't know how it will be fleshed out more fully, but i'm interested to see them try.
2. littlebigplanet3 ; i just loved that it played so much more closer to the first lbp. the level design was great and i really enjoyed playing as toggle- can't wait to see what the other new characters add.
3. super smash bros. for wii u ; it was the game i played the most. i thought i was kind of over super smash bros., but me going back again and again is evidence to the contrary.
4. captain toad ; really simple style, but i was super into it. i love that there's a variety of levels. stoked to see how this gets fleshed out into a fuller title.
5. kirby rainbow curse ; it dawned on me just now, but this was probably the most challenging game at the show for a single-player game, since it's the only one where i came close to dying. the aesthetic is great, and the gameplay and level design was fast and tight.
6. hyrule warriors ; starting to scrape the bottom of the barrel, i think. i had fun with it, and i may actually pick up the full thing when it comes out, making it my first attempt at a warriors game.
7. super smash bros. for 3ds ; i only played smash run, but i liked the concept. i had a hard time adapting to the controls though- super smash bros. for 3ds is almost like playing the n64 game after 13 years of being used to playing it on the gamecube controller. it was really jarring.
8. mario maker ; i don't think this will be the robust level maker people want- you can't really tweak physics at this point, and it didn't look like you could create new items or effects (at least just yet). the level i played was pretty tough. i look forward to ead-created levels being in the full release. not sure if i have the skill to make levels though.
9. yoshi's woolly world ; ...it was cute. i mean it was pretty easy. not sure if i'll pick it up, but the level design was at least a little more varied than epic yarn, which was a straight left-to-right affair. there was a level where you had to throw eggs to create pathways, harkening back to yoshi touch and go. that was neat.
10. persona 4 arena ultimax ; i played it and i won one match and barely lost the next two. i don't know what i was doing because it seemed like i only had three different types of attacks.

xx. sonic boom for 3ds ; felt like a licensed game and not like a sonic game. it felt like a bunch of execs from a studio forced in various aspects to this game and it was wholly uninteresting as a result. the biggest disappointment at the show.

1. Witcher 3- they gave us a substantial playthrough this time. I can't wait
2. Sunset Overdrive- the main reason I'll get an X1. An adult ratchet and clank
3. Bloodborne- me and the Souls series have a love/hate relationship
4. The Order 1886- Best looking game I've ever seen
5. The Division- I love TPS. I LOVE RPGs. I love scifi tech. All in one game? Sold
6. Batman Arkham Knight- I thought I was over the Arkham series, but it's all of Gotham? Sold
7. Middle Earth: Shadows of Mordor- seen more footage of this game than any other. Has to count for something
8. No Mans Sky- Looks like the Star Wars game we should've got long ago
9. Uncharted 4- cause its uncharted and the trailer was in game
10. Dragon Age Inquistion- it's looks like DAO is back
