The Game Critics Awards, a collection of journalists from various publications ranging from The New York Times to Kotaku to Electronic Gaming Monthly, has announced its list of winners for this year's E3. Fallout 3 took home top honors, winning both Best of Show and Best Role Playing Game. Here's the complete list of winners: Best of Show - Fallout 3 Best Original Game - Mirror's Edge Best Console Game - LittleBigPlanet Best PC Game - Spore Best Handheld Game - Resistance: Retribution Best Hardware/Peripheral - Rock Band 2 Ion "Drum Rocker" Set Best Action Game - Gears of War 2 Best Action/Adventure Game - Dead Space Best Role Playing Game - Fallout 3 Best Racing Game - Pure Best Sports Game - Madden NFL 2009 Best Fighting Game - Street Fighter IV Best Strategy Game - Tom Clancy's Endwar Best Social/Casual/Puzzle - LittleBigPlanet Best Online Multiplayer - Left 4 Dead Electronic Arts came home with the most wins of any publisher, bringing home a total of 5 awards. Broken down by platform, the Xbox 360 took away 8 awards, the PlayStation 3 and PC each received 7, the PlayStation Portable 2, and the Wii just 1. MTV's Stephen Totilo also noted that this year saw the fewest wins by Japanese publishers yet, as SFIV was the only Japanese developed game to win an award. Sadly, Fallout's win has ruined Spore's steak of consecutive Best of Show wins, which now ends at 3. |
