IGN - E3 2013 is almost here, and with it comes an entirely new generation of consoles, games - and much, much more. But of everything we think and know is coming, what has us excited? Though publishers and developers are still working on confirming and discussing what will be coming to E3 2013, in the IGN offices we're still chatting about what we hope we'll see and play from June 11 to June 13.
Just to be clear, we don't entirely know every single game that we're going to discuss will definitely be at the show. Some of them will. Some won't. Some games that ought to have a presence won't make it. Regardless, we're hopeful we see all of this and plenty more that we don't expect.
Are you ready to take a tour through the madness that is E3 2013? Join us as we walk through 30 of the biggest games we want to see at E3 - two per day over the span of 15 days. And tune in as our coverage fires up on June 10 - and perhaps even in these final days and weeks leading up to the event.

Quantic Dream’s Beyond: Two Souls excites me so much
because it promises to tackle themes that other games won’t, or can’t.
We already know that Jodie Holmes’ life-spanning story arc covers
periods of homelessness and helplessness, culminating in a suicide
attempt. Love, loss, family... these are easy ideas to sketch down on
paper, but Beyond: Two Souls seems to make a much more earnest attempt
at actually portraying them effectively than most video games.
I have my doubts about Beyond’s ability to straddle these
and other all-too-real examples of human drama with more outlandish
elements like CIA training and angry ghosts. But in Quantic Dream and
heavy-hitting actors Ellen Page and William Dafoe I trust. I hope a
strong E3 showing will put my fears at ease and prepare me for
ambitious, emotional storytelling.
