#2 Battlefield 1
Sweet Hannah Montana... We love the new World War 1 Battlefield! The gameplay trailer alone makes Call of Duty Infinite Suckfare pee its pants. This is a refreshing take after years of first person shooters going futuristic and beating a dead horse into the ground.

Feel the intensity and immersion as Battlefield 1 takes advantage of this modern arsenal to deliver the experience fans love, but with a fresh and modern twist.Set against the backdrop of World War 1, witness the birth of modern warfare, as the Great War saw a furious arms race with new machines and weapons created to get the upper hand during the most technologically divergent war of all time.

#1 God of War
In the words of Tychus from Starcraft 2, "It's about damn time!" God of War was a really good game its great to see that it is making a comeback. Kratos is one of the biggest badasses in mythological... er video game history. Not to mention there are some great puzzles that you have to accomplish while playing. It will be interesting to see where the new direction leads Kratos and his son.
The trailer appears to be based on norse mythology and takes place after Kratos decimated the Greek Gods. Gameplay in the trailer showed elements similar to role playing games (RPG), such as archery knowledge points, as well as a Spartan Rage timed-ability during battle. The action alone gets the #1 trailer spot from E3.
