The Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) is next week and gamers are clamoring to see what will be unveiled. Here are top ten most anticipated games of the show. And we can’t wait to see what surprises are in store for us.

10. Nintendo Announcement

There can be no guessing as to what exactly is going to be shown by these guys. aside from shoving everything DS down our throats, they haven’t been to impressive. No doubt (hopefully) it will be one of the big franchises. Either Zelda or Mario would be a treat. Both would be better.

9. Bayonetta

From the creators of Devil May Cry, Viewtiful Joe, and Okami comes the the next high octane action game. This game is looking like it will be a smash. With a female lead, all the cool moves that even Dante would envy, and giant demon monsters, Bayonetta will be the yin to Devil May Cry’s yang. May it be saved the disgrace that Heavenly Sword did by being named the Goddess of War.

8. Kojima Productions Announcement

E3 will be a buzz with what Hideo Kojima has to say concerning the next phase of the Metal Gear franchise. As of now all we have to go on is the counter and the image of Big Boss. And knowing how Kojima operates it will be a nice surprise.

7. Ratchet and Clank Future a Crack in Time

This series has to be the biggest sleeper EVER. In all my gaming years I’ve never seen  a game so ignored. One of the best platform games out there. I would as far to say it’s like Super Mario with guns and space ships. Two lovable characters, great settings, and awesome stories. Nothing beats this PS3 exclusive in the platforming/ action genre. I wouldn’t be at all surprised to soon see a CGI film of Ratchet and Clank.

6. Bioshock 2

When we first we first visited Rapture, there was a sense of awe and fear. As our powers grew with the mystery of Little Sisters, Big Daddies, and Adam all we wanted to do was see what be next. Returning to the underwater utopia turned hell, puts us in a different perspective. Now we play play as not just a Big Daddy, but the First Big Daddy. Dual wielding weapons and plasmids. Another engrossing story and the arrival of the Big Sister. Rapture isn’t what it used to be.

5. Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2

Everybody and there mother is waiting on more info from this FPS. With new game play environments, such as  frozen terrains, and underwater battles. We all know whats in the minds of every player. What are they adding to to the online play? E3 will have all that and probably whats in store for Modern Ware 2 DLC.

4. Assassin Creed 2

Altair is no longer with us but the Creed is still the same. Find your target and give it” The Long Kiss Goodnight”.I  had to use that. Anyway, this time around we see our quasi hero “Ezio” in Italy during the renaissance.  The game bolsters new moves, weapons, and more variation in the enemy classes. You can now swim, making a nice addition to how to assassinate targets. And it seems that your character has some connection with Leonardo da Vinci. The story is years after the Crusades in which Altair fought, but the story continues on. What is Ezios’ connection to Alair? And what had become of Alair and the artifact he possessed at the end of the first game. Also, what of the writing on the wall. A lot of it was in some sort of oriental dialect. Will the story surrounding that be told? Let us see what the Creed has in store.

3.Uncharted 2 Among Thieves

Uncharted Drakes Fortune was and still is one of the reasons to have a PS3. This action adventure game, with it’s cool Indiana Jones type character Nate Drake made Lara Croft feel like a red headed step child. Uncharted had all the aspects that made Tomb Raider great, and took it to the next level. Naughty Dog, the guys behind Crash Bandicoot and Jak and Daxter came up with a PlayStation exclusive to hurt Microsoft’s feelings. Every character in the game was right out of a movie. A witty story if not too deep. The controls were near perfect, with a excellent cover system. And the graphics……well that is what the PS3 is made for. Among Thieves looks to be all that and more. Drake has a new partner. The environments look amazing. And I believe 3 player co-op. On top of that. we’re given our first taste of Uncharted multilayer. All this only on Playstaion3.

3. God of War

Greek mythology. The Spartans. And  Kratos. For too long have the fans of the God of War series waited to witness the final, furious revenge of the Ghost of  Sparta. Hopefully this year will Kratos come to the next generation. I believe a new trailer and demo will debut at E3. Along with that, the release date of God of War 3 should be announced. We all have our fingers crossed for holiday times this year. In the latest trailer Kratos said “I fear nothing”, “I hope for nothing”. Well I surely do hope this fantastic epic reaches our homes this year. Or I fear that Sony will give up what edge they have of catching and matching Microsoft. May the irate, bastard son of Zeus at last have his revenge.

2. Final Fantasy Nova Crystallis

The most celebrated role playing game franchise ever has a new compilation. It features three games brought over three platforms. Final Fantasy XIII for PS3, and Xbox360. Final Fantasy Verses XIII exclusively for the PS3.  And Final Fantasy Agito XIII for the PSP. All of these titles are highly anticipated.But very little has been shown for any of them except FF XIII, due this Christmas in Japan. The demo of FF XIII  caused PlayStation 3 sales to jump 233% in Japan. That alone shows how popular these game are. Epic proportions isn’t even enough to describe what type of event Final Fantasy is. As RPG go SquareEnix delivers on a scope beyond what most gamers can withstand in a single game. whatever the have planed will amazing. As long as they stop throwing all the bones to Microsoft. Trailers, more game play, and release dates for any or all of the titles would be welcome.

1. The Surprises

With all the events unfolding in the next week, you would think that was all.  Shame on you!!! Microsoft has not shown any of their hand. A heck of a poker face they’re  putting on. You know they have to have a wild card hidden. Something similar to the Final Fantasy XIII announcement last year. Capcom went berserk this year with releases that shook up the industry. And I doubt they’ll let their fire dwindle even a little. Will Sony Reveal a new psp? I really would like to see some remakes. Shinobi needs a reboot. Something along the lines of Prince of Persia meets God of War. And Strider and Breath of Fire would be nice to see. There are stirrings at SquareEnix of a new game. Also, Insomniac has a new game also in the works. Thihs will definately be an E3 to remember
