Top 10 games of E3 2012

Beyond: Two Souls

The follow-up to Heavy Rain is a similarly cinematic affair with Ellen Page as Jodie Holmes - a young girl troubled by a supernatural presence. Beyond follows her over the course of 15 years and features some of the best motion capture we've seen since LA Noire.

Halo 4

Proof that Halo 3 was a comma rather than a full stop in the Halo story, Master Chief returns for more intergalactic fisticuffs. Aside from some new enemies and multiplayer modes it's more of the same - and we wouldn't have it any other way.

South Park: The Stick of Truth

South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker took to the E3 stage to introduce The Stick of Truth - a proper old skool RPG that's entirely written and voiced by the pair. You play the new kid trying to make friends. Expect turn-based combat and plenty of toilet humour.

Batman: Arkham City Armored Edition

One of the first existing games to get the Wii U treatment (alongside Assassin's Creed 3), Armored Edition lets you use the GamePad to guide your remote-controlled batarang, hack into computer terminals and quickly access gadgets and info.

Lego City Undercover

LA Noire meets everybody's favourite coloured bricks as you play Chase McCain - a small cop in a big town. Use the Wii U GamePad as a sat-nav, communicator and to scan areas for suspects before serving up your own brand of blocky justice.
