EA showcased content from games of several different genres, like Need For Speed: The Run, SSX, Star Wars: The Old Republic, and The Sims Social, but we all know that the only games most people wanted to see were Madden, Mass Effect 3, and Battlefield 3.
The Madden 12 presentation was a disappointment. A trailer was shown but almost no gameplay. Hopefully that will change during the course of the expo because the game will be released in the next few months.
Mass Effect 3 is expected to be just as amazing as it's predecessors, and the footage shown at the EA Press Conference was not mind-blowing, but it added to the already amazing features that have been shown so far this year, before and during the expo.
Battlefield 3 was definitely the star of the show. A live demo of the PC version of the game demonstrated some of the features that will make this game hard to beta. The PC graphics were some of the best I've seen so far and the sound and motion were very realistic. This may be a result of Dice's new game engine which was also featured during the Battlefield 3 presentation.

E3 2011 - Microsoft Press Conference
All eyes were on the Kinect at this year's Microsoft Press Conference at E3. Dozens of upcoming games including Madden, Tiger Woods PGA Tour, Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, UFC, Fable the Journey, and Forza Motorsport 4 will be Kinect enabled. Mass Effect 3 will also be Kinect enabled. Players will be able to control character reactions via voice commands. Xbox will also be the only console offering Minecraft, which will also be Kinect enabled.
Microsoft also unveiled the (new) New Xbox Experience which can be controlled by voice commands using the Kinect. Youtube, Bing, and Live TV are also coming to Xbox Live.
Other games including Modern Warfare 3, Tomb Raider, Gears of War 3, and Halo 4 (yes it's official) were shown during the Press Conference. MW3 DLC will be coming to Xbox Live first, as always. The new Tomb Raider reboot had amazing graphics and the "Horde" game mode will be returning in Gears of War 3. Halo 4 was also announced as a trilogy, leading me to believe there will definitely be a "Halo 5" and "Halo 6."
