In Pictures: E3 2008 Picks and Pans
For once it doesn't matter whether you swear by the Wii, Xbox 360, PS3, or PC gaming. It's all here. Here's what caught our eye--and what we wish we'd never laid eyes on--at this year's E3 gaming expo in LA.

Spore is Gonna Be Huge
Whether upcoming designer celeb Will Wright's forthcoming soup-to-nuts PC-based "life simulator" turns out to be an actual game or just a clinically addictive toy, E3 2008 confirmed that everyone wants to play Spore. Whether it's fussing virtual putty into tripods with 20 eyestalks or teaching your tribe to ape your groovy Joey Fatone moves, Spore's going to turn heads and, who knows, maybe even raise a few anti-evolutionist eyebrows. --Matt Peckham
