A current list of impressions from reading coverage:

-Afrika: Is this a game? A tech demo? Whatever it is, this is one of the worst trailers out there.
-Assassin's Creed: Though a trailer, it gives us a hint of what to expect from gameplay. It looks a lot like a medieval Splinter Cell, which would be cool if done right. Of course, it's Ubisoft so more likely than not...
-Gears of War: The inventory system looks a LOT like Perfect Dark. I'm going to keep my eye on this one, if only because it's the guys that did Unreal Tournament...
-Halo 3: All they gave us was a movie. No gameplay footage hurts my impression. Of course, I was disappointed by the previous two games so unless Bungie pulls their act together, I doubt I'll play this instead of UT2007 when it comes out.
-Lost Planet: Looks fun, plus it has mecha. I'm interested in this one if only because it's a Capcom title that is not the bazillionth remake of Street Fighter (whatever) or Resident Evil.
-Metal Gear Solid 4: I was disappointed when I realized that I was looking at a trailer once again; I like to see actual gameplay footage rather than a cheesy movie.
-Red Steel: I remember when people were hyped about this sometime ago. It looks a LOT like Perfect Dark Zero if you ask me. Though it still looks better than most Gamecube titles and hopefully shutting up the gameplay>graphics arguments that give me nightmares to these days, there are several issues I have. The Freeze Bullet looks cool yet the swordplay looks wonky as each swipe becomes a predetermined attack (meaning the game could easily be done with a gamepad) rather than you having total freedom and the game calculating damage based on momentum, etc. The ability to use the "nunchuck" peripheral as a parrying blade looks cool though...maybe if Oblivion were ported to this system, Bethesda could find a way to bring back dual-wielding from Daggerfall? (hint, hint)
-Smash Bros Brawl: (This was an exception as though a trailer, it hints as to what will actually be in the game) SNAAAKE! I cracked up at the trailer due to the random mishmash of elements. I count on Smash Bros to rock, yet hearing third-party characters will be added is great, if only to quell fanboy wars. Now we may be able to prove that Sonic is greater than Mario, or Link greater than Cloud. Samus vs. Megaman? Ryu vs. Terry Bogard?
-Warhawk: Tell me. If the developers only got the tilt-sensor (not motion sensing) controllers 2 weeks before E3, how will they be able to use it without it becoming a gimmick? Looks rather generic if you ask me.
