Other than LittleBigPlanet, majority of all the games make an appearance on the 360.
Overall, thumbs up.
Gears 2 is going to be insane, Fable II is also going to be awesome.
I also got to show some love to Too Human.

Gears. There was a grand total of one woman in the first game, compared to about a hundred bulky dudes.

I like how most (if any) of these games aren't even out yet, but they're winning categories like "Best RPG". That seems a little...presumptuous. Shouldn't they be called "Best New RPG" or "Best Upcoming RPG".
Of course, context is everything, but it's good to see that a little of that traditional E3 spirit still lives on. Grist for the Hype Mill as usual I suppose.
Fortunately for us, our fair, fair games media keeps those big bad marketing types from spinning things out of control. I guess that means we ALL win, huh? :)
