It's back! Well it's not, but the last week captured a little of what made E3s of old so special, thanks to tons of new announcements and fresh gameplay for games we're already excited about. Now the dust has settled, Matt, Jesse, and Alex look back at the games that really stood out and take on the challenge of picking a single game from the hundreds shown to crown the Best Game of Not-E3 (or BeGoNE3 for short).
Of course, we want to hear what got you excited too, so send in your top picks to ign_ukfeedback@ign.com.

Cardy, Matt, and Mat are here this week to talk about cursed meals they've eaten. Before all of that, though, there are thoughts on the madness that is Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, why Hellblade 2 isn't quite working for them, the intriguing concept behind sci-fi survival game The Alters, and another of Cardy's foreign film recommendations in the shape of Hirokazu Kore-eda's Monster.
As ever, there’s also the regular dose of madness thanks to your feedback, including multiple unseasoned ground beef recipes.

Matt and Jesse recently visited Ubisoft Quebec to check out Assassin’s Creed Shadows for an IGN exclusive, and now they’re on the podcast chatting about everything from samurai to seasons to dynamic weather. Emma’s also getting involved with her thoughts on recent indie hit Animal Well, which has been gradually melting her mind with its fantastic puzzle designs.
As ever, there’s also the regular dose of madness thanks to your feedback, including a horrifying account of chickens being roasted in a machine that is categorically incapable of roasting meat.
