Which games look cool and which games look like shit

Last week I was at a gaming party and there was a number people playing Endeavor.  For some reason I took one look at the game and I was repulsed by the awful look of the game.  This reaction seems to be happening more and more to me as I take one look at a typical new Euros game.  So I did a little experiment, I just flipped through some photos of some games from Essen with out looking at the names of the games to see which games look interesting and which games looked awful.  

Here's the photos:

 Here's the games that actually looked interesting enough for me to try in the future:

Imperial 2030
Rush 'n Crush
Nostra City
Der Her der Ringe - I think that's Middle Earth Quest
Inarticulate Epic Game - I think that's War of the Ring
Unknown game
Hotel Amsterdam - Work placement for sex and drugs?
Dungeon Lords

Most of the rest of the games looked awful.
