E3 is always a huge event each year, some like it, some hate it, but no matter what, it always brings out some excellent games and showings from the different developers and their respective publishers.

On their 3rd E3 Recaps, OXCGN takes a look at the line up from 2K Games, such as XCOM, Mafia II, Speci Ops: The Line and of course Civilization V.

Slip over and check it out, plus the image gallery from teh various rooms that only the press got to see, some were very impressive to saythe least.

On to our ‘Third E3 2010 Publisher Recap’, which catalogs our thoughts and impressions on the games we saw from each publisher.

This isn’t a list of specs or features, but rather exactly what we thought of each hands-on or behind-closed-doors media showing we attended to give you an insight to exactly what we felt about each game behind the media hype and PR talk.

2k Games puts up a great fight,
with some excellent titles about to drop
• XCOM
What we got: Developer controlled singleplayer gameplay demo.

Thoughts: This was definitely a surprise for me. Having only seen a brief, fairly dodgy trailer prior to the showing my expectations were pretty much non-existent.

Luckily enough, I was wrong. X-COM is looking great, following an adventure / light RPG formula in a first-person shooter that comes as no surprise with the Bioshock guys behind it.
