As any good gamer knows, E3 just took place. Gaming companies from around the world came together to reveal their newest projects and give their fans a taste of the future.  Now that the dust has settled, it's time to cover my favorites.

Beyond: Two Souls

                                                                                                                  Gamespot.

Quantic Dream (the studio behind Heavy Rain) unveiled their latest PS3 exclusive, Beyond: Two Souls.  Though not much was revealed about the story line, Quantic Dream did bring an announcement trailer with news that the game's protagonist, Jodie Holmes, will be brought to life by actress Ellen Page.  If Beyond is anything like Heavy Rain, it will be a grizzly, beautiful, and impossible to put down.

Playstation All-Stars: Battle Royale

Sony announced that PS All-Stars would be a cross-platform game between the PS3 and the PSVita.  They demoed the cross-platform capabilities on stage during Sony's press conference.  Gameplay was flawless between the two consoles, which only adds to my excitement for this title.

Two new fighters were also announced: Nathan Drake from the Uncharted franchise and Big Daddy from Bioshock.  

The Last Of Us

Face, meet shotgun.

An impressive gameplay demo found it's way to E3 this year, revealing the importance of conserving ammo and up-close-and-personal fighting.  The demo is grim and gitty, just as you would expect in a fight for survival.  

The Last of Us is scheduled to be released March 31, 2013.

Did I mention there would be battles at sea?

Assassin's Creed III

Watch the newest trailer.  That is all you need to do to see why I'm excited for this title.

Ubisoft also announced Assassin's Creed Liberation, a PSVita exclusive that will be released October 30, 2012, the same day as Assassin's Creed III.  Assassin's Creed Liberation will feature the series' first female protagonist and will, for the most part, take place in the same time-frame as ACIII.

Watch Dogs

                                                                                        Gamespot.

Ubisoft stole the show this year with an impressive line-up of games.  Watch Dogs is an open-world action game that has the player fighting against a corrupt system.
