Every year the Electronic Entertainment Expo is an orgy of gaming. Can we use the word orgy? No other word works. Hundreds of new games are shown on a chaotic show floor that fills three halls of the Los Angeles Convention Center. With all the new games and hardware, it can be a bit overwhelming. You say you don't have time to page through our hundreds of previews, screenshot galleries, movies, and interviews? You've got a life? For shame.

But just for you, we locked ourselves in a room and picked out the best of the best. We pared our list down to the 20 biggest games or best pieces of hardware shown on the show floor. All twenty games win a "Best of E3: Editor's Choice" award. And, as you move toward the top of the list, you'll find our other awards as well: Best PS2 Game, Best RPG, Best New Hardware, etc. etc. It's everything that was great about this year's show, and you don't even have to hunt around for it. We give you guys everything.

On to the list!
