100 games you might've missed at this year's E3

When you've got a venue as gigantic as the Los Angeles Convention center, there's a ton of space to fill with the multitude of E3 2014 games on display. In fact, it's almost TOO much for any sane person to keep track of it all. With so much excitement surrounding the games shown off during press conferences, it's easy to gloss over all the other stuff. And in doing so, you might unknowingly miss out on a really exciting game.

To help shine a spotlight on everything there is to see at E3 2014, we've rounded up the 100 best games you probably didn't even know were there. Hey, we can't blame you--these games were either hidden in shadowy corners on the show floor or given a split-second of screentime in a sizzle reel. To make things a little more interesting--and save you a ton of time in the process--we're describing every one of these games in exactly 10 words apiece. You've got time to read 1000 measly words (excluding these), don't you? Then let's go!
