The event known as E3 has gone through more than a few changes in recent years. Up until 2006, it was inarguably the single biggest, most important trade show and event in the entire game industry. This year, E3 returned to the hallowed halls of the Los Angeles Convention Center, but in a different way. The event itself no longer occupied the entire venue (restricting itself primarily to the central Concourse Hall), and it changed its name to the E3 08 Business and Media Summit. Still, there were plenty of very impressive games on hand, and GameSpot made sure to bring you live coverage every day of the show, both from our editorial writing team and from our live stage show, which broadcast demonstrations of the most exciting games at E3 2008--and exclusive demonstrations of a few other games that weren't at the show and couldn't be seen anywhere else.

The Xbox 360 was a fantastic console in its day with some truly classic titles, but what are the seven best games for the console?
I'll go with,
Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Culdcept Saga, Shadow Complex, Ace Combat 6 with the flight stick,A Kingdom for Keflings, A World of Keflings.
Bonus Kinect Games: Happy Action Theater and Sesame Street.
*Skyrim was so bad on PS3 that it almost deserves to be #1*
Ah yes, Shadow Complex! Good indies back in the day. Summer of Arcade. I enjoyed Trials Evolution as well.
Was this made by a.i.? No human being would put Shadowrun, Fable III, and Splinter Cell: Conviction into a list of the 7 best Xbox 360 games.
Would love to play Ace Combat6 on PlayStation, but Xbox decided to buy exclusivity and keep it off a competing platform.
The only mainline game I never played except for one level at a friends place. Game sold less than any other in the series if I remember correctly.
360 had Namco hitters AC6 and RR6... both quality titles. You should at least bust out the 360 for AC6 if you can score the flight stick. Its great.
When the current gen XBOX offering is so lacking people need to refer to games released two generations back....
It's a nostalgia peice same reason we get thousands of YouTube videos on sega genisis. Something people have fond memories for but the era is long gone.
It's xboxs golden year imo it was their genisis years the time where they stuck it to the market leaders Sony.
They stuck nothing. Sony screwed themselves giving Xbox an opening. They would have gotten the usual smack down if the PS3 had launched at $399 and was easier to develop for.
Wow Fable 2 dominated for once, im even more hyped now
Nice to see Fable 2 beat out all the competition with Game of the Show.
This fall should be an excellent time to be a 360 gamer.
I question the best graphics catagory. I thought KZ2 would sweap this on every site but maybe it's not as impressive in person? I just don't know why it's not getting the "OMG!" response on graphics from these sites judging from what I've seen in video.
ye Killzone 2 graphics are sort of expected by everyone now, but i think when i am playing through it ill just be like :O the whole time lol

That must be the issue? People are stubbornly fixating on that idea that Sony lied about 4d and CGI visuals.
These are the same people that praise COD4/Halo3 yet can't seem to accept that kz2 looks great. I've seen hd footage, and the only better looking game ive seen, is Crysis, and thats not a console game. As far as hard to process things like: Depth of Field, OBJECT motion Blur, Frame Motion Blur, Lighting, Animation, volumetric particles, and great shader detail. Metal sheens/glass reflects etc..
If you cut up Halo3 or COD4 or BIOSHOCK into categories of what has technically gone into the engine, there is no way in hell to downplay what GG has done. Its unfortunate this is being done, because GG did deliver on its target render. No not 100%, no one ever does that. But im getting sick of people trying to pretend the game doesn't look good in person, and that some how it looks completely terrible in person, when most people will agree that Crysis/COD4/Halo3/GTA4 all looked "OH MY GOD" from Gametrailers "hd" feeds. Its ridiculous.
Anyone with eyes, that aren't fixated on their hunk of plastic can see that Kz2 -so far- has the best visuals in a console game. I'd love for anyone to try to debate that with another console game. I'd love it. Bring your videoclips, bring your reasoning, and if you are daring, bring up the Unreal Engine lol.
