The other game I definitely plan on seeing at E3 is Star Wars: The Old Republic. This is the massively multiplayer game from BioWare that's being designed to have all the plot, character-driven stories, and hack-and-slash battles of the best of BioWare's single-player games, such as Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. I have no idea how a massively multiplayer game will offer all of the content of a single-player game but also have all the open-endedness of an online game, but I'm very interested in finding out.Hmm, I guess nobody wants to see Dragon Age: Origins. If I were going this year, that would be at the top of my list.

Although I find myself a bit cautious about it, BioShock 2 also ranks high on the list of games I'm dying to see. The original BioShock was one of the few games that I found myself playing over and over simply because Rapture is just an amazing location and one of the few that manages to tell an entire story in a single room or through something as simple as a poster.

I'm really hoping to get some hands-on time with Borderlands, Gearbox's "role-playing shooter." So far, we've seen only demonstrations, and even those didn't fully showcase the new cel-shaded look that was revealed earlier this year. I'd love to hop in one of the fast, Mad Max-style vehicles and tear around Pandora's desolate surface, gleefully gunning down aliens and bandits with reckless abandon. Ideally I'd have a buddy riding shotgun (in the true sense of the word), but that might be tough to do on the hectic show floor at E3.
In keeping with the futuristic theme, I'm also looking forward to a more in-depth look at Mass Effect 2. I absolutely loved the characters and epic scope of the original, and I'd love to get a peek at what the sequel has in store. A Mass Effect 2 teaser video seemed to show Commander Shepard dead at the hands of a Geth trooper, so I'm hoping to get a glimpse of the new protagonist (if there is one) and an idea for what sort of dire circumstances he or she will be dealing with.
