E3 2011: The Top 20 Booths of 2011

In the realm of video games, E3 is an event like none other. Coming off a bit like a zoo, we editors wade our way through thousands of fans and fellow industry professionals to get our hands on the newest games. Sometimes it's fun. Sometimes it's boring. Sometimes it's easy. Sometimes it's pain in the neck. Really, what determines the ease and pleasure of the demos is the ascetic of the booth. Since we experienced them all, we figured we'd give you an idea of what we liked best.

While we could rank these entries, we find that unfair. Each of the booths represented brought something special to the show, and they deserve recognition. Of course some are better than others, but what it comes down to here is that these 20 booths were the best we saw this year, and we commend them for it.

Since the majority of you reading this weren't able to go to the event yourselves, here's a little window into E3's intense show room floor.
