E3 hasn't even begun, and let me tell you: I'm already exhausted. But damn, am I excited.
Why? Because the show is going to be massive. Massive in ways we haven't seen in years, with one of the biggest line-up of games and reveals in the history of the show. It also might be at throwback to the industry spectacle of old, with a handful of on-floor events that are sure to turn heads -- a Mexican wrestling match, Playboy Playmates making booth appearances, hip-hop legends, and more.
But it is about the games, and I wanted to make sure everyone was prepped and ready to go. So I've compiled a list of confirmed games for next week's show. I've attempted to be as comprehensive as possible, even making a number of additions last minute to keep it up to date (Sony just made MotorStorm: Apocalypse official, for instance).
We'll be working hard to keep the list fresh, adding games as they're announced, so keep this page bookmarked as go-to cheat sheet. If you're a publisher or a developer and don't see your game (or games) on the list, send me a private message and I'll update it.
Less than a week to go, folks. What games are you most excited to see?

confusing
-Details on Fallout: New Vegas DLC (Hoping for timed exclusivity again because it benefits EVERYONE if Bethesda and Obsidian get an extra chunk of cash just to have it out on one console before the other)
-MASSIVE details on Zelda Wii (This is it nintendo, you're literal last fucking chance. You better either have another wind waker or majora's mask-esque title in the wake)
-Information on the beginning date of the PS3 FFXIV beta, as well as a release date and maybe some info concerning monthly subscription plans
