E3 may have been a hot bed of exciting new announcements, with such instant classics as “You’re in the 1950s Exploitation Movies”, which promises to be a laugh an hour, and “Wii Noise”, but the real treat was seeing our most fiercely anticipated games, demoed live and in-game.
While screens around the convention centre blared images of Gears of War 2, Animal Crossing and Resistance 2, some titles completely forgot a convention was on last week. This article delves into the top games that were a no-show at E3 2008.

Alan Wake is a jaw dropping free-roaming game set in Bright Falls, Washington. The best selling horror author attempts to cure his insomniac at a secluded sleep clinic in the sleepy mountains.
